I mean, shoot. Here it is in all its glory if you care to indulge. Spurrier's body language and facial expressions are priceless.

I remember that Alabama/Miami game like it was yesterday.

I was a big Bamer fan that night.

Nope. It does display the amount of tolerance, people living in the past like you, show to others. Anybody who disagrees with your opinion is retarded. Sad, very sad.

If I was retarded, I wouldn't be able to respond as well as I do.

Why don't you try another tactic? Are you going to call me a homosexual next? Or am I going to be a Muslim terrorist?

All because of a difference of opinion. Sad, very sad.

'95 Huskers Remain in a League of Their Own - Huskers.com - Nebraska Athletics Official Web Site

1) Nebraska’s smallest margin of victory in 1995 was 14 points in a 35-21 win over Washington State. It was the only game in which Nebraska trailed all season before taking a 28-7 lead into the fourth quarter and letting its subs get meaningful snaps. Reserve freshman I-back Ahman Green, who would go on to become the Green Bay Packers’ all-time leading rusher, finished the Washington State game with 176 yards rushing and one touchdown on 13 carries. The Huskers out-rushed the Cougars, 428-72. And get this: In the fifth game of the season, Washington State came into Lincoln with the nation’s fourth-ranked rushing defense, giving up only 69.7 yards per game.

2) In 1995, Nebraska averaged 400 yards rushing per game while allowing only 78 yards rushing per game to its opponents. The Huskers scored 51 rushing touchdowns in ’95 and gave up only six rushing TDs. Nebraska averaged a Division I-A record 7.0 yards per rushing attempt for the entire season, including the bowl game shellacking of Florida.

3) Question: With an offensive line anchored by 1995 All-America center Graham, guess how many quarterback sacks Nebraska gave up in that remarkable 12-0 season? Answer: If you said zero, you would be right.

4) Want to talk special teams? Kris Brown, one of college football’s and one of the NFL’s best kickers ever, connected on 13 of 16 field goal attempts whenever Nebraska’s offensive juggernaut hit a skid mark. And get this, the Huskers tied an NCAA record in ’95 by allowing only five punt returns all season for a grand net total of 12 yards. Yikes!

5) Nebraska’s average margin of victory in 1995 was more than 38 points, the largest average of any Division I-A team since World War II. The margin exceeded a six-touchdown average despite Nebraska resting its starters in the second halves of most games.

6) Here’s something to chew on: Nebraska averaged 29.8 points per first half in 1995. That’s a higher scoring average in one half than at least three national championship teams averaged in a whole game – Alabama (1992), Ohio State (2002) and Florida (2006).

7) For the 1995 season, Nebraska averaged 53.2 points per game and allowed only 14.5 points per game. When you think about making a big deal out of Florida State’s 2013 team having the possibility to win every game by at least 14 points like Nebraska did, this particular stat screams rather loudly that the Huskers should stand alone in this spotlight.

8) I saved my best stat for last. In the final rankings from the 1995 season, Nebraska beat four teams that finished in the final AP Top Ten rankings – national runner-up Florida (62-24), No. 5 Colorado (44-21), No. 7 Kansas State (49-25) and No. 9 Kansas (41-3).

There they are – eight crystal-clear facts that frame a Big Eight powerhouse as the most dominant college football team of all-time. The Huskers did, after all, beat four schools in the ‘95 final Top Ten by an average of more than 30 points a game. If that’s not living in a league of your own, what is? Yes, I know what you’re thinking. Someday, someone will make another serious run at Nebraska’s lofty status, but let’s hope that doesn’t happen in the next seven years. Why? Because we think this ’95 team deserves a Silver Anniversary celebration in 2020 – a vision that seems not only realistic, but highly probable.

... and while they were the greatest team up to the 1995 season and probably dominated like no other team before or since, the label of GOAT has an expiration date, which you and others can seem to understand.

The question is not whether other teams will be able to dominate in the same manner for an entire season, but would the '95 Huskers be able to beat the current NC's?

For me, the answer is no.

If you have a different opinion that's okay. If you truly believe teams are bigger faster and stronger than in 95 LoL. Look at the NFL if that were the case those 90s players would all be gone by now but they aren't. 90s is still modern. 95 huskers would still size up every team today. Your strength and conditioning argument would work for teams in the 70s and lower

Could Michael Jordan take Bron in a 1v1?

I'm trying to help you hear yourself right now.

Not only do I think the '95 Husker team would beat any NC team since then - they'd embarrass/curb-stomp/annihilate/brutalize them.

... and no, I'm not a Nebraska fan.

#1 you're comparing single individuals instead of teams
#2 it would be up to how the NBA ref's called it.
#3 I tired of being bashed for a difference of opinion. I'm out of here
#4 ... and Blackshirt, I'm ignoring you. But keep insulting me instead of being polite, unless that's what it takes for you to get through a day.

I didn't insult you in my actual response to your argument. I just told you that you're flat out wrong. Ignore all you want, that 95 Nebraska team isn't going to get any smaller or slower for years to come. You're argument was awful and proven wrong by just looking at depth charts.
