I wish Carl Spackler wouldn't have set off all that TNT to kill the gopher so Danny Noonan's putt wouldn't have gone in. Judge Smails and Dr. Beeper deserved to win that game.
If you could change..
- Thread starter tjhusker
- Start date
I'll answer this one for Apolo Anton Ohno, Mathieu Turcotte, Ahn Hyun-soo, and Li Jiajun...
Amazingly, this is very similar to how Bradbury advanced to the finals. Probably the luckiest gold medalist in the last few decades of the Olympics.

2 asses don't make it right. I don't care if Trump was coaching the Huskers, I want'em to win. #MBRGA
Yes, this was right at the top of my list as well. Just barely edged out by the Russian basketball win over some team I'm also not familiar with.
1993 Orange bowl loss to FSU. A win that night is 3 straight undefeated seasons and a 3peat...
As an OSU fan two games come to mind. The 1969 loss to Michigan 24-12. It costs us back to back national championships. The 69' team was Woody's best team but it couldn't finish the job. Second. the 28-24 loss to Michigan State in 1998. We were up 24-9 midway thru the third quarter. We muffed a punt near midfield which completely changed the momentum of the game. It costs us a chance for another national championship.
Easily, 1984 Orange Bowl. Number 1 all season until 0:48 left in the 4th of game 13.
I have to go with 84 orange bowl, I'm also going with the first Ali sonny Liston fight. Lots of fans still feel Liston threw it
1) Definitely '84 Orange Bowl. I cried for 2 days!
2) 94' Orange Bowl loss to FSU. I remember everyone piled by TV for that final FG. Ugh.....sucked!
3) '82 L shaped field at PSU. Loss cost Osborne his first national championship! Also first game I ever remember watching.

I know this isn’t as important as many of the events already listed. At the time, redshirting Gerry Gdowski in 86 or 87 would have allowed him to play in 1990. Quarterback was a huge issue in 1990 and Gdowski would have solved that problem...possibly an undefeated season with his ability/leadership. He is one of the most underrated quarterbacks in the history of Nebraska Football.

That was actually a legitimate call, I was at that game but didn't see it there. I had to go back and Rewind the tape over and over and over again to see it but it was legitimate. Our bullet Lance Gray was pulling back on the play but still managed to graze the would be defender and was called for it.
The 1978 Missouri game is also an outcome I would change. Losing to Missouri a week after beating Oklahoma was one of the most disappointing moments I have experienced as a Nebraska fan.
I have some Sports Illustrated magazines from that season and the November 27, 1978 issue, p. 96 has a couple of lines I'll quote about the bowl situation.
"No. 2 Nebraska was poised to stomp visiting Missouri and thereby lure No. 1 Penn State to the Orange Bowl and a one-on-one clash for national supremacy."
Nebraska lost to Missouri and then this happened on the same day.
"A Cotton Bowl representative had called a press conference to announce that Oklahoma would play in Dallas, but at the last minute the Sooners decided they wanted to try to avenge the previous week's loss to Nebraska by meeting the Huskers in the first ever all-Big Eight Orange Bowl."
Notre Dame moved into the Cotton Bowl when Oklahoma bowed out.
Maybe if Oklahoma stayed with the Cotton Bowl Nebraska may have played Notre Dame?
One other note, Alabama and Houston didn't lock up their bowl games until December 2. If Alabama had lost to Auburn on that day, Georgia would have gone to the Sugar Bowl, and if Houston had lost to Rice, Texas would have gone to the Cotton Bowl.
I would like to go back to the 2000 baseball regional in Minneapolis and not have Shane Komine get hit in face by a line drive. Huskers won that game and swept through the regional, but were paired with Stanford in the super regional round. NU won game 1 and ran Komine out there for game 2. Really admired him for trying, but pretty tough to pitch with your freshly broken jaw wired shut. Stanford took games 2 and 3 and ended up in the CWS championship game, which they lost to LSU.
I pick this game because I firmly believe that was Van Horn's best team, and one that could have done some damage in the CWS. The 2001 and 2002 teams that made the CWS were good, but the 2000 squad was better.

Sorry I don't know why it didn't post.
I said NU was coming off a emotional game against OU the week before they had nothing left in the gas tank and I believe if you look into Mizzou roster they had quite a few NFL types players on that team there biggest problem was coaching for decades they'd pull of the upset but then lose to kst or Iowa state teams they should have beaten
