My dad is 73 and said he doesn't think he'll see another good nebraska football team in his lifetime.
I remember as a kid TO winning all those games and conference titles and people wanted him fired because he couldn't win the big one. Lol. I'd take those years back in a second. We are a joke now.
Were you a football fan in 1960?? I know most of us started actually paying attention and really following the game by age 9 or 10….
we've got that b1g media check cashing party coming up
Start4ed in 1962...9 years old most of the season...actually cried(hate admitting that) when Monte Deere and the Sooners beat us....
Damn you just missed the Minnesota and Iowa glory years, I was really hoping to hear about 1958-1961. I remember the last time Wisconsin and Nebraska won their conference and finished inside the top 5 in1999, I just don’t know anyone old enough to remember when any other team currently in the bigten west accomplished those in the same season.
Had to go back and verify. Yes, we have lost SEVEN IN A ROW! Yikes
Minnesota came close 2 full seasons ago. Started out 9-0, including a win over 8-0 #4 Penn State. 10-1 going into the last game in an extreme blizzard.
For most schools, but not Nebraska. Point to something from the last decade that indicates our leadership can figure this out? We're enduring another wasted season RIGHT NOW because Trev didn't want to spend an extra $12.5M to fire Frost. That's bad leadership. People seem to trust Trev, I don't. Because if I know ONE thing right now, it would be a way better investment to pay Frost $20M to not coach vs. paying him the same amount to coach.
Minnesota glory years were on the middle 1930’s and start of the 1940’s..
yes. anytime there was a World War, you can guarantee minnesota "won" a football title while the rest of the country's best and brightest were saving humanity.
And how many people are going to game with you on Saturday and what Husker jersey will you be wearing?
Same here fellows. I was born in 1953, the last time NU lost 3 season openers in a row.....
In 1968, even though I was 15 at the time, I was devastated when OU shut out NU 47-0.
I miss the old days of just good old hardnosed football. Every game, with a handful of exceptions, NU was just so hard to beat because Bob and Tom seemed to always have them ready.
I type too fast. Missed the not. A typo claiming Frost has attention to detail could cause someone to choke on their own spit. Very dangerous. Sorry for the confusion.
Use the 1995 GOAT shirt as the "sock" and some EC highlights as the "inspiration".
I’ll do it in the form of a Jeopardy clue….Iowa football was last relevant at the end of this season……..When was 1960????
Heck I’m 10 years behind you I can remember the 1971 orange bowl, but I was just born when Nebraska hired Bob Devaney but my dad told the story of how Nebraska football sucked for 20 plus years prior to his hiring. But I really beginning to have my doubts that we’ll be contending for a conference championship before I check out. Hopefully God has a continuous 1971 or 1995 season in heaven we’d never get tired of it always great
Actually, I misread what you typed, so my mistake. All you said up to that point made total sense, and then my brain read about him paying attention to detail. Didn't jive. LOL
That's just wishful thinking for you. Probably no natty's soon, but should start winning the West with regularity, maybe win a game in the expanded playoff.
Be thankful you got in one of the P2 conferences when you did. You'd never be extended an invite today. Instead, this "non-football conference" will provide you with all the buyout money you'll ever need.
Yes, did the med schools ever recover from losing all their students to front line infantry? Just imagine where we'd be if all the Einsteins that went to war stayed home and studied.
