Right. That game (though a bummer) was incredible. We were a massive underdog and lost by 2. Returned a punt for a TD that was called back because of a "clip". That was Tommie Frazier's coming out party nationally.
My first Husker game was against Okie State in 1988 the year Barry Sanders won the Heisman. Huskers won a shootout. I went to a couple games before that but this was my earliest most vivid memory football wise.

How old are you? I'm 29. My first game in Lincoln was in '94. My dad let me eat a Runza and a piece of Valentino's. It was glorious.

Both of those things are amazing. Now I want Runza. My Mom makes the best homeade Runzas.
I will be 35 this fall.

Turns out our first games were roughly at the same age. Nebraskans and football. Start them young.
On the subject of uniforms, I loved the throwbacks Oregon wore last year.

I just read this thread title. NEver seen it before. Didnt read a single fucking post in here because why should i? Lament is awesome. This is perfect.
Damn look how young/thin Kirby is. Such a fan of his growing up.
Kirby was my favorite athlete when I was a kid. He was my hero. Too bad things ended the way they did.
Crazy story. I went to a tournament at the dome that was Fri-Sun. Obviously my buddies and I talked about Kirby a lot of the time. Much to the dismay of my Braves fan friend. Anyway, Kirby passed that Monday. It was very eerie.
I think it was Steinbrenner who said if Kirby played in NY there would be a 5'8 statue of him outside the stadium.
