34 Days to Husker Football

I actually remember that game--- Rick Beeeeeerns owned the field that day

I think that is the first Nebraska game I ever watched on TV from start to finish.

I was too busy being a delinquent hood rat to watch that one.

Not sure I'd have watched it if it weren't Thanksgiving Day with grandparents, aunts/uncles, and cousins over for dinner.
I'd only lived in Nebraska 2 years at the time. I'd lived in Florida and California my first 7 years. Any other Saturday I'd been outside with my buddies riding bikes, shooting bb guns, hanging out at the creek, or something of the sort. I do remember seeing 'parts' of the Orange Bowl win over LSU the previous season. I remember Tagge holding the ball over the goal line for the TD and becoming a hero that day.
The '71 win @ Oklahoma made me a Nebraska fan forever. From that day on if they weren't on TV (which wasn't often in the pre-cable 70's) then my buddies and I would listen to them from start to finish on our AM transistor radios.
Not only was it my first full Nebraska football game, it was kind of my introduction to Lyell Bremser. My dad would have the games on TV with the volume down and Lyell blasting on the radio.

That was difficult ta read.

Haha, I am watching Inglorious Bastards. Have any of you ever seen it?

I have. It has a few good scenes but I wasn't a fan, over all.

 

[HuskerPower52]

Yeah this is the second or third time I've watched it, I'm not too crazy about it however there are a few good scenes like what you said.

I do want to see Quentin Tarantino's new film but his last movie "hateful eight" was garbage in my opinion

Almost my story exactly. I wasn't living in Nebraska then, but was in Boulder. Us old farts remember that year...Big 8 had the top 3 teams in the nation, so I was right in the middle of the hype. Huge build-up even before the season started. Before that year, I was more into NFL, and didn't pay much attention to college foosball. My folks were from Nebraska, so they sorta followed the Huskers. Back in those days, I might get to see two or maybe three Husker games on TV, so, I didn't see much in the way of college ball. That day, mom's folks were down from western NE for the Holiday, and the game and long weekend. Planned dinner for halftime, and made quite an event out of it. HOLY MOLEY...What a game! I also became a Husker fan, and have been from that day to this.

Same here. Having lived in California I was more into NFL. I was a Rams fan, and Roman Gabriel was my favorite player. I eventually switched to the KC Chiefs because they drafted Kinney, and my dad would take us to occasional games down there.

I was a Raiders fan. Loved Stabler and the old man, George Blanda. Always looked forward to the Raiders/Chiefs games back then. They had a real blood feud going in those days and played some pretty rough games.

Feel bad for kids these days who don't have the memories of listening to Husker games on the radio while outside replaying the game with a football by yourself in the backyard on an autumn afternoon.
