Early in the day for hitting that Buffalo Trace....do as Johnny Cash would say "lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be"!
RIP Bill McCartney

Dang, you are a tightly wound ball of hate.
Another game was 91 game the snowball game plus the block in the back by when Colorado blocked the extra point try and ran it back for two, Johnny Mitchell was going to catch the guy but he got taken out with either a clip or block in the back, then the zebras didn’t have the ball’s to flag Colorado for unsportsmanlike conduct while Nebraska was lining up for a field goal attempt. The fans were relentless and should have been penalized until they stopped
Ironic the his beef with McCartney is that he spoke of hated for the Huskers. And 35 years later we have Big Bo Fan doing what? Speaking with hatred himself.
Heard people say during the Pinstripe Bowl that they had never seen a blocked XP returned for a safety - as you noted, it happened to the Huskers back then too. That guy was Greg Biekert who could never outrun Johnny Mitchell without the benefit of the clip. Coldest game I ever attended that didn't involve being wet - it was a night game.
Don’t hate the guy. He was just a not a good person.
Chrstian Peter returned one against Florida, but was called back as the ball carrier was ruled down, incorrectly, I may add.
At least that is what I remember anyway.

You never know what’s in a person’s heart. I always gave Bill the benefit of the doubt with his Promise keepers and felt he really was trying to do something good and thought good on him. I too thought his obsession with Nebraska and hating red was over the top weird. But he certainly made the rivalry interesting. RIP Bill.
