Where were you when Nebraska beat Miami to win the National Championship?

Great stuff

Wish I had went on more of these side quests when I was younger

My first lesson in the fact that pretty much anything can be done if you grease the wheels with enough money... I swear, everywhere we turned it was, "You can't do that, but for $X, we can look the other way". Not what this Midwestern boy was used to...

Forgot to add in there that we were eating at a Planet Sub in downtown Miami and saw a guy get stabbed outside the window right in front of us. Just a different world at the time.

I was recently RIF'd from active duty. Renting a basement in north Omaha (Florence). Watched the game at the Pipeline with friends. Then went back to where I was renting and turned around and went to 72nd and Dodge. All of us from the house went.

It was glorious!

Were you the guy in your red underwear with the visible pee spot?
Party on, my friend.

I was 3 so I don't remember. My first memory of Nebraska football was the 97 game against Tennessee. My parents and about 15 family and friends piled into an RV to make the drive. I got an ear infection. I made my dad miss half the game because I had to puke. I vividly remember the rows of empty urinals in that shithole Orange Bowl bathroom

Nope, knot me.

I was Hella impressed with the folks who brought their gennys down there, then the dudes all climbing the street light poles all around the intersection. It was an amazing scene.

The police seemed pretty chill that night.

I also bought the SI commemorative package later that night.

I may ... or may not ... have drug home a few "hockey babes" from the Pipeline Tavern back in the day.

14 years old and watched it at a friend's house. Had my first dip of Skoal that night.

As ol Archie and Edith used to sing... those were the days....

I met the actual Bob Father and the entire 95 starting OL at the pipeline. Got autographs on Pipeline coasters somewhere. Ol Devaney had his brief case with him. Pulled out his own vodka and orange juice.

I was living down in Lincoln in the mid-80's and was dining with a friend (Mitch, who owned the liquor/wine store on something like 10th and South or A street - it's been a minute) atop the NBC tower and we were seated at the table next to the Bobfather. Introductions and handshakes, then back to our tables.

It was like 11:45 in the morning, and ol' Mitch looked over his menu at me and said, "It's his 4th or 5th one by now", and winked. I had to bite my tongue to keep from LOL'ing. The rumors were indeed true. #Legend
