This snow sucks!! Used tractor for awhile then I polished up with a atv 4 wheeler with blade since my tractor doesn't have front wheel assist real easy to get stuck
Remember when mike Rucker destroyed joe Gordon from kst on a punt return, that was great, he'd have been tossed in today's game and the punt return would have been called back
I'm a little older than you, but not much, I was 10, almost 11 when we beat Miami to win the NC. I was always a Husker fan, but prior to that game, I don't have a ton of memories. Mostly before that I remember Calvin Jones and losing to Miami and Florida State in 92 and 93 Orange Bowl. Some of that is probably because this was before every game was on TV, and I didn't spend much time at that age sitting and listening to games on the radio. I remember the 94 Orange Bowl pretty well, and honestly think that game is what ruined me when it comes to officiating.
The 95 Orange Bowl I remember very well, and being the first NC in my lifetime, holds a special place for me. As fun as destroying Florida the next year was to watch, the 95 Orange Bowl will probably always be my favorite since it was my first.
Talking about being spoiled with winning, since I really started paying a little more attention after that first NC; I remember listening to the Arizona State game in 96 and just being shocked that something like that could even happen. Then after that, I remember in the 98 season, I just pretty much took for granted we were going to win games; and didn't even pay that close attention to some of them, and being quite upset to find out we lost to Texas A&M.
Yep, felt the same way with the 1996 Arizona State game. I think it started at like 9pm CDT, and I fell asleep around halftime at my aunt's house (she had cable, my parents didn't). We also recorded it on VHS. When I got up in the morning, my aunt told me it didn't get any better and asked me if I wanted to finish watching the game. I said of course I wanted to finish watching, and saw Turman get inserted late in the game and Green fumble deep in ASU territory, staying on the ground and crying in frustration.
The 1996 Big 12 CCG against Texas was rough on me. I enjoyed the fantastic game, expecting the whole time for us to pull it out, but then became distraught a few minutes after the game ended realizing we wouldn't be playing for the national title.
Then the 1997 Missouri game, running outside like a chicken with my head cut off with my neighbor and missing Frost's OT TD by the time we got back inside.
I didn't have quite the reaction you had in the 1998 A&M game. Disappointed in the loss for sure, but having seen us make a goal line stand to win the week before against Okie State, I wasn't so much surprised at us losing as much as I was amazed by Dante Hall.
Regarding NU not being on TV every week, those are actually my fondest memories. Blasting the radio outside while my brother, dad, neighbors, and I would throw the ball around in the back yard and simulate what we thought the plays looked like when the game wasn't on TV. Then watching "The Tom Osborne Show" Sunday morning to see what it actually looked like. Or going over to someone else's house or a bar when the game was on cable or PPV.
This snow storm really pushed my Toro Snowblower because it was so wet. However, it performed like a champion...best purchase I have made in years. Of course there have been 3 or 4 years I didn’t use it because it didn’t snow enough. Winking
Not real fast. I had to take 1/2 wide strips down the driveway and had to push a little more than normal but it beats shoveling.
No kidding, I had to dig out my tractor got high centered I used a smaller shovel was to bad but still pissed me off, the snow just bunched up wouldn't flow through the blade. I just have a 2 wheel drive older acreage tractor. I really need to go get bigger 4 wheel drive tractor with loader and blade. But I have this at my place and the other is 7 miles away. Definitely will next time
