To the old timers on here

Yes I was. It was a blast. He just laid back with his fists in the air saying "yeah" and had a huge smile on his face.

I know. I have seen the video. He looks hysterical.

I was 19 years old living in Houston Texas. I watched the game with two other transplanted Husker fans. Needless to say we were going crazy...I lost my voice by the end of the game. Several days later I was driving from Houston to Omaha and I took a slight detour to Norman Oklahoma. I stopped at a grocery store and bought a bunch of oranges. I wrote Nebraska #1 on each orange and left all of them in front of the main entrance to the stadium.

Ok, while we all sit and wait with baited breath for 17 year old high school football players to make a decision, I was rewatching a YouTube video of the 1978 Nebraska vs. OU game in Lincoln. I was at that game (I was a sophomore at UNL) and once the goal posts came down I followed some dudes who had one part of a post who proceeded to carry it down O street. I, and about 20,000 other people on O street that night, were euphoric.

So my question to everyone on here who is old enough to remember that game ( a game that saved Osborne's career): Where were you that day?

I'm posting this before I read other people's replies so I'm not influenced by what they say. I was at that game - sitting in the student section. I vaguely remember that part of the goal post was either taken to the Water Hole or the Brass Rail. I'm guessing that I ended up at one of those places.

I ended up at the Brass Rail.

I was there. The fumble and the goal post leaving the stadium are sweet memories. The next week was the coldest I've ever been as James Wilder ran wild. I found out as I arrived home from the Missouri game (my bother asked me to guess who we were playing in the bowl game and I guessed everyone but Sooners) that we would re-play OU in the OB - just didn't seem right after we finally got that monkey off our back.

Devany wanted a best two out of three game if we lost the OB.

I was in the 7th grade and remember watching it on TV with my friends. It was very exciting. What a great day that was. I remember Billy Sims being a great running back but fumbled a lot.

Ahh, 1971 in Norman, what a fantastic game, I was going out of my gourd on that one! Thanks for the kind words Plano.
