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.
