RIP Terry Donahue

[Husker.Wed._rivals]

Former UCLA coach. He always came across to me as a class act.

 

[Husker69]

RIP, died at 77 and left behind his wife of 52 years, three daughters and 10 grandchildren from cancer. He was a class act. I remember him saying in the early to mid eighties that our linemen were unusually large and powerful. I wonder why? Lol.

Nebraska and UCLA had some memorable games back in the 1980’s and early 1990’s.

I always enjoyed seeing them on the schedule. He was a legendary coach for that program and for his overall contributions to the sport.

Great coach, most wins in UCLA history…

 

[GeorgeFlippin]

Damn good coach, even greater person. His broadcast along with Sean McDonough on the Orange Bowl vs Tennessee was great.

Memories of 1981, when he came to the Midwest for a game.

He was a strong coach.

OU also had some good games with UCLA in the 80s. Guy was a class act.

always the 'little brother" to USC, but I really enjoyed it when they beat the Trojans

UCLA isn’t a little brother to USC..

UCLA has more national titles in all sports than anyone in the country..

In football UCLA is the little brother to USC. I'm in my 60s and it has been that way all my life.

I was talking football since the topic was Terry Donahue

Often had the lesser talent vs USC in the 70’s and 80’s, but managed to have a winning record against them. Took over at a young age when Dick Vermeil headed off to the Eagles. His teams always seemed to get better as the season wore on. Enjoyed the beat down his team put on the much favored Illini in the ‘84 Rose Bowl. An absolute no doubter!! Good broadcaster when he finished coaching too.

I was actually in LA to follow Northwestern (wife’s school) during their miracle Rose Bowl run of ‘95 when he announced his retirement. This Cats fan thought Gary Barnett would be staying behind to take the job. Still kind of surprised he didn’t.

I too am in my 60’s and I’m aware of USC having the the better football program but UCLA has the better athletic programs..

 

[PeliniTheCrutch_rivals294365]

I enjoyed watching his team go Stanford on Iowa in the 1986 Rose Bowl.

 

[Dean Pope]

Damned good color commentator too. One of my all-time favorites.

I was at that game. I had just moved to Southern California and took a bunch of family members and my girlfriend at the time. I was bragging up the Huskers but that didn’t go so well!

RIP. I believe it was Terry that used to say playing Nebraska would take a physical toll on your team for weeks after you played them. We need to get back to that style of football fast. I think we're halfway there.

 

[steinek11]

Terry was a good guy. Rest in peace brother

i knew a rb from ou in the late 80’s he said the same thing. ou might win, but there was a physical toll. said everyone playing for N was trying to rip your head off.
