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.

Doesn't have to. He falls under the New England College football fandom exception. They're allowed to pick a team, provided it stays the same.

Thanks, but that really doesn't answer my question

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.

Right. I picked ND in like 1993 and have rode that out.

But why?

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.

Well, I know you were a Tigers fan. Decent memory though yes. I need to make it to the Big House next time the Skers are there.

What was the exact month in '93?

The first ND game I remember making a point to watch was the game against Miami in 93, at least I think it was 93.

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.

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.

Kent Hrbek. Such a great player, and so underrated nationally.
