Was that at Norman or Lincoln?

I have a mental image of a white jersey.  Had to be away.

The "tear 'em loose from their shoes" return was in Norman in '71

maybe it was just a long run-I was only 10

Doesn't really matter. The fact that you were there with your Dad is the important thing

The most exciting game I can remember is when Bear Bryant and Alabama came to Lincoln in the up's.  You could feel the electricity in the stadium.  What a feeling.  What a game.

First Husker memory was getting to meet Thunder Thornton when I was around 5.  He was the largest human being I'd ever seen.

First game memory was watching Paul Rogers boot a field goal to beat Wyoming in 1968.

Some favorite memories (at this exact moment -- they change constantly):  Jeff Kinney's tear away jersey, Johnny Rodgers on a punt return stopping forward momentum and just juking an Army defender until the defender dove at a shadow on the ground, Monte Johnson blowing up the wedge on kickoff coverage, Lawrence Phillips taking over a game when Frazier and Berringer were both out, Jason Peter and Grant Wistrom hugging Tom Osborne post-championship, the Bumerooski against Missouri, Crouch's catch against Oklahoma, Johnny Rodgers passing for a TD against Notre Dame (JR lining up at I-Back against Notre Dame), Suh treating Colt McCoy like a skipping stone on a lake, Frazier's run against Florida and Michael Booker's INT for 6 against Florida.  Enough for now....

1987 - Bus full of "New Mexicans for Nebraska" took a road trip from Albuquerque to Stillwater. Nebraska dominated Okie St 35-0.  Gundy, Dykes and Thomas were stymied by N Smith, B Thomas and L Etienne.  Met and shook hands with Bob Devaney.  My wife (NM native) of one year experienced first hand what it's like to catch Husker Fever.  Twenty-five years later,  I have my own Husker Den at home and she too has the fever.
