"THE Play"

Where were you when you saw "the Play?" I was with my wife, a Lincoln native and NU alum, sitting in our home in Louisville, KY. I missed the play before because I was getting a coke from the fridge. THE PLAY began as soon as I sat down, and, to be honest, I thought it was just another ordinary play Nebraska was running just to get a first down. When I saw Crouch hand the ball off, then disappear from the screen, I ahd no idea that less than five seconds later, Nebraska would be up and the stadium crowd would be out of their corn-fed minds! What a great play. I remember just as I did the "The Play" (also against Oklahoma!) when Johnny Rodgers ran back that put in '72. Thanks for the memories!

 
I was sitting in my recliner in the living room with an ash tray over-flowing with cigarette butts. When the ball was thrown, I jumped out of my recliner. When Crouch caught it, I started flailing around the living room whoopin and hollerin! Actually brought a few tears to my eyes when Crouch scored. I immediately called my buddy, an avid Sooner fan, and told him "It's all over but the cryin! C'ya in the Big 12 Championship" (famous last words too <_< )

 
I was with a bunch of family at my parents house. I can't believe we didn't break anything as much as we were celebrating. Good play call.

 
I was in the stadium. Loudest the stadium has ever been that I remember, that instant crouch caught it. We could have started a small earthquake.

 
My dad took his brother who is a Sooner Fan to this game and he told me that it was one of the longest drives back home in his life (2 1/2 hr drive)!

I was watching it at home and I too was jumping up and down as he scored that TD. That was a great day.

 
Wow, that was when i was playing pee wee football still... I was in a pee wee football game, but i remember eveyone in the crowd had there radios on listening to the nebraska game.....then everyone started cheering and we hadnt even done anything good on the field.lol

 
In the basement of my folks, I was 17 I believe. I wished I recorded it so I could watch that play over and over and over again.

 
I was in my basement with my cousin ( he was jumpin on the bandwagon at the time ) and two of my best friends ( one is a CU fan and the other is just a husker hater ) ... I'm smiling ear-to-ear just thinking about it.. that play lasted forever .. it was like slow motion .... i'm getting goosebumps thinkin about how excited my cousin got and finally I wasn't alone.. it wasn't 1 vs. 3 anymore it was 2-2 ... they were poutin' like little pu$%ies !! top five greatest husker memories all time for me

 
This was by far the most memorable play of my life time. I was in the east stadium, and when I saw Stuntz go in, I new something was up. I still give him a hard time about that. I always tell him they were saving him for that play all those years.
