I'm 28. My first real memories are Crouch's Heisman season.


I've told this story a couple times, and it kind of lines up with @Mood4NU story above, but I was raised to believe that Nebraska had won football games before the first whistle even blew, by just stepping on the field and having that presence. And, for a time, that was true. So I watched us get absolutely bent over by Miami at my cousin's house 20 years ago. In the car ride home, I remember not being too mad about it because I thought to myself "it's fine, we'll be back next year anyway. We're Nebraska. We play for championships". I still get chills thinking about it because we never went back after that. That was the last natty we played in.


And honestly, even as I get older and for a while, up until Bo started to get throttled in big time games, I still somewhat believed that we were Nebraska and should be winning 9-10 games a year just because. I can't remember when reality set in but it was probably mid-2010s, like 2014-ish. Just kinda hit me one day that no one was scared of Nebraska anymore.


I'd do some questionable things to see a Scott Frost led Nebraska team bring us back to national respect again and stay there for a while. I swear I'll do nothing but soak it all in and appreciate it.
Yant says we’re going to the ship so hold your britches it’s about to get unhinged.
 
my earliest Husker memory is my Dad crying after the 1997 title

didn’t really understand why but yeah...that’s my first Husker memory

It’s been hard times brother

My first Husker memory is Byron Bennett’s miss vs FSU. I don’t remember any other part of the game, just that.

my dad took me to a game vs pacific, either 1994 or 1995. That was my first in person memory. We won like 63-0 and my dad wanted to leave early but I wouldn’t let him LOL.

I distinctly remember all 3 90s national titles. I mean basically my first Husker memories were us winning national titles, which set the bar for the rest of my child hood and honestly early adult hood. I remember crying myself to sleep after the CU game in 2001. I was 12, lol.

it really took me until probably until the end of Bo or Riley to realize we we will never compete on that level again. And now I’ve just come to accept being mediocre.
 
I remember one of the Pacific games because my dad took me when I was 4 or 5. I don't know if I remember this or have just created a false memory, but I feel like my dad got us all out of bed for the 4th quarter of the Orange bowl in 1994.

I vividly remember my brother sobbing in 1997 when he didn't realize Davison caught it.
 
34 and I will mow your wife's grass if needed. Text me at
402-Fuck
47 here.
Still get hard as a rock.
Nearing 33. Recently discovered if I crank 2 easy ones out throughout the day before night time sext that I’m only semi-rigid and have a hard time finishing unless my wife flips reverse and I can look at her butthole.
 
Just trying to keep the dialogue going my friend.
i wasn't criticizing you. i just found it funny that we went from childhood husker football memories to a conversation about your wife's butthole
 
Few years ago I had a smokin hot physical therapist in Omaha probably in her upper 40s. She said she needed to massage my pelvic floor for some urinary issue I had at the time (I never admitted to her that the problem started with some chic sitting on my dick wrong one night). The only way was for her to stick her fingers in my ass and massage I’m guessing the “taint” area from the inside just below my nuts? She told me she’d do it with dignity😂 no shit!!
I chickened out but looking back I shoulda just went with it.
Should have told her dignity is a reach around
 
42...will be 43 this summer. Lots of great Husker memories. I vividly remember the good years and unfortunately, now the # of bad years have overtaken the # of good years.

I will never be the Husker fan that thinks we should adjust our expectations for winning. While I do not expect we should win Natl. Championships every few years, I believe we should be dragging our dicks all over the B1G West every year. Yes, I believe we should be better than WiscyDicks and beat them more than we lose to them. There is no excuse anyone can give me about that. There isn't one team in our division that can match our history of success in the modern era of football from 1992 and on.

hahahahahahhahahahahahha applause to you, that was funny
 
33. One of my first memories was Nebraska curb stomping Colorado and the 94-95 NC's. Still have the magazines from those years. If we could even sniff that again...
 
I'm 49 going on 14. A lot more young punks in here than I thought who never got to experience the consistent good years in the 80's and spoiled with Nebraska winning for decades.

First memory was the 83 OU game when Rozier went crazy and solidified his Heisman, Remember seeing my dad lose his shit after the 84 Orange Bowl Loss to Miami went TO went for 2. That was just as much of a heartbreaker as 93 FSU.

Interesting results! over 50% of the board according to this extremely scientific poll is in the 26-35 range. I don't really know what I expected but it is crazy to think the last time the Huskers were in an MNC, most of this board was 6-15 years old & for most of the dominate years most of the board was 10 years old & under
 
I always assumed this was more of a millennial message board which is why i stuck around

the rest of the husker boards are over saturated with baby boomers
 
Trumped only by us August born Leo’s. Especially the August, 1958 vintage.

I’ll finish 3rd at best in this thread behind @Elizabeth Reed and @bbenson67.
Coming in first in this contest is as the Kingston Trio said in one of their songs, a prize I had no wish to win. It is what it is. October 1949 checking in. On the plus side, I lived and savored the entire golden age of Husker football and even saw Johnny Rodgers play in high school when he was a sophomore at Omaha Tech and I was a senior at Omaha Benson.

It also appears you'll have me to kick around for awhile longer as my physical 2 weeks ago revealed my blood pressure is 133/80, my A1C (blood sugar) is normal and I lost 15 pounds during the pandemic. Nebraska genes.
