Nebraska curse
- Thread starter Headcard
- Start date
Like the old days when a team played Nebraska they were so beat up they didn't recover for two weeks.
Good ole Husker Flu, we used to call it........we'd beat em up so bad they would lose like two or three weeks later to someone they should have beaten and in some cases should have boat raced. It really was a thing back in the day.
If you think about it, Frost was the curse. Going back to his very first game and the lightning storm canceling the game. First time that occurred since the 1950s (I believe). It was ominous from the start!
True.
And I'm old enough to remember coaches dreading playing us right after we suffered a rare loss. "Oh boy, Nebraska is going to be in a BAD mood next Saturday. Lucky us."
That was a lot of years and coaches ago.
I was born in 65...so 65 to round 2000 is 35 years..
so my 1st 35 years of football I only knew losing to top 5 type teams...
the last 22 years have been a reversal of that...
35 minus 22 is 13....so I still know 13 years of good football more then bad football..
and I'm still gonna say run the ball for 13 more years..
I conflicted with the pirate, he hanged 70 on us during our pass happy era (error)...I should really dislike him..alot..but he's pretty funny
