2009 Big 12 Champ game is a no for me. Screw Bo. That may have made it more difficult to rid the program of that cancer.
Three off the top of my head for different reasons...
A Butler win would have been one for the ages...
What could have been a shot at a 3rd-straight national title...
I really wanted Tom Brady to lose, and that bobbling catch right before this play was Tyree- and Manningham-esque...
If I had to pick one, 1996 Big 12 championship game for selfish reasons (and this is a Husker board).

But it would have been worth ruining texass season and it would have been 8 years since we won a conference title instead of 18.
Lol. I was all set to type "82 Penn State" when I remembered the boot kick in the nuts that Missouri game was. It is a toss up. But I chose 78 Missouri because we really were the better team. We were just physically wasted from the week before. PSU, in 82, was probably very close to us talent wise. The fact that we were robbed in that game hurts, but at least we lost to the eventual national champs
Even tho I despise Bo and his staff, 2009 Big 12 title game for sure. If Suh would have blocked that final kick, I truly believe he wins the Heisman. 2 TD underdogs, first conference title in 10 years, IN THE HEART OF LONGHORN COUNTRY,... it would have been incredible.
I was there that night and I'll never forget when that clock hit zero and we thought the game was over, I ran out into the concourse and started crying. Then a guy working the concession stands yelled to me "There's still 1 second left!" .... that feeling in my stomach after that... just one of those feelings you'll never wash away.

Penn St probably still would have played Alabama in the Sugar but we wouldn’t have had to play Oklahoma again which really was a kick in the nuts for Osborne and Devaney...
Wonder who we would have played because other than OU we couldn’t play USC or Michigan...
Bama split the title that year with USC who beat them in Birmingham.
We already did earlier in the year and lost to them 20-3 I believe.

Wow. 9 wins every season means cancer. You probably bought a mike rielly shirt. If we win that game we would have played in the fiesta bowl. That might have been enough to push us over the top.
Jeez, people hate bo so much they are happy that we lost to texas, etc?
True, but wasn’t the SEC champ tied to the Sugar Bowl like the Big 8 was too the Orange Bowl.
94 Orange Bowl...but perhaps that's a better "if you could have a call reviewed in any game before instant replay".
No brainer for me. Super Bowl 52. I don’t know that saluno and the rest of the Pats haters on here could handle that, though.
I know we were tied to the orange bowl then. But was the sec contractually obligated to the sugar bowl? I guess so. But not sure
Yep. Or the phantom block in the back on the punt return or the missed FG at the end. That game was a heartbreaker.94 Orange Bowl...but perhaps that's a better "if you could have a call reviewed in any game before instant replay".
96 Texas is the choice.
3 in a row if not for that game.
Cant pick 93. That made us mad.

Going to say 99 Texas. We take it all with that one.
I dislike Bo a lot, but I wouldn't undo that game if I only get one do over. That would strictly fall on 1984 Orange Bowl. If that '83 team only had the '84 defense they'd be considered one of the greats of all time. Such a great year and then THUD! The start of Florida teams sticking it to the Big Red in the bowl games.
Good point. If we win in '93 would we have been as hungry to win it again in '94?
9 wins wasn't the cancer. Bo was the cancer.
Given we were still hungry in 95 and 97 and arguably 96 after winning it all in 94 the answer is yes!
2010 Big XII Championship over OU. Then walk out of that conference with 1 finger in the air...
Still would have rather stuck it to texass in 2009.

Yes. 1987 Oklahoma. I was there. Never seen a sadder town. It was a gut punch.
Bobby should have realized he had one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel when he played that Billy Jean guy..

Fly Eagles Fly!
2015 Big Ten title game for sure. I have no grandeur that Iowa would beat Bama, but I would have been interested in seeing what they could have done with the moral boost of winning one of the most physical games I remember.
For NU purposes, I would have loved for Kirk to not kick it to DPE in 2014.

I didn't buy any shirt. I was with Bo until Melvin Gordon made him his bitch
Tom Watson winning the British Open at age of 59.
You're the ass in this scenario. Cancer sucks and so do you as a fan.
