has your team ever beat "the greatest team of all time" for a nc?

As gratifying as it was to beat USC in 05, they had no business being discussed as a GOAT team. They'd have been SMOKED if they had to play the 95 Huskers. That reason alone should have made every non-USC fan a Texas fan that day. We all got a fantastic game out of it too.

I disagree. The difference of 10 years implies that the '05 players are bigger and stronger than the '95 players. Somebody might be able to produce the rosters and do a height/size comparison.

VY would have smoked the '95 Huskers.

'05 USC was the only team with 2 Heisman Trophy winners playing at the same time.

I remember that. It always bugged me how much people bring up that USC was dubbed the greatest team of all time and then lost to Texas when Oklahoma had gotten the same distinction before losing to KSU and LSU.

I've never heard people say that, maybe they are referring to after the game? All I know is USC really never had a chance to prove they were the best because Michigan was not that good of a team. To be fair LSU played a team that was beaten 35-7 just a few weeks prior so the same can be said about the Tigers.

Nah, we lost to the Huskers in '71.

I have a poster and multiple "artifacts" from that game. Game of the Century Two great teams on the field that day.

You are a senile old crackhead.

Still my favorite non-Husker bowl game of all time. Outstanding stuff there.

How good was the '81 Huskers' team? It's all I got.

Pretty decent. This would have been the younger, developing "Scoring Explosion"; Turner Gill, Mike Rozier, Irving Fryar, Roger Craig, Dave Rimmington, Dean Steinkuhler, etc.

Nope, never done crack and I'm definitely not senile. Each decade the players are bigger, stronger, more agile and play more mentally intense schemes than the previous decade's players. In football, which is a team sport, it makes a difference, which you seem to be unwilling to understand.

... and the '05 Longhorns would get smoked by the '15 NC's.

Prove me wrong by posting the rosters with Height/Size. I doubt you are willing to do more than insult me.

... and I think it's racism to post that image, unless you are him.

white dumbasses posting images not of themselves is sick. Sick meaning not having an understanding of humanity.

I think my senility quip has been sufficiently proven.

Although it was not for a national title, we did beat Ohio State in 1998

That was a really good Buckeye team. I was certain the NC was going to come down to tOSU and K-State that year.
