Another classic in the series, a question you're bound to ask yourself many times is why didn't Nunn just fall after picking up the 1st down? I'll ask myself why the UT kicker cost them 7 points... it looks like you guys are returning to prominence, sadly without the triple option though... What a game!!!

Now that I am moving to Lincoln to pastor, I am going to be more interested in promoting some of the conferences/breakfasts to the church. Look forward to seeing you guys at OBC more often and to being around some more hills and trees. Having lived in Texas & having a wife, who is an aggie, I would say that the Nebraska Football experience is more unique because it is the professional team for many. In houston, people had their Oilers (now Texans). In Dallas, people have their Cowboys. It tempered the college football talk more than it does in Nebraska. With that in mind, I think that it is pretty cool that I can see some games in person now. I thought about inviting Pat to a game in the future. But, Pat has never really cared about football (was that way when we lived together in Lincoln). I might have to look for a BMX race to get him more excited. Erik,

Very Gracious of you not to bring up the fact that the Huskers have more national titles than the Horns, but you Husker fans have a pretty solid rep, which is more than I can say for Sooner and even most A&M fans... Yeah I realized that college football is better as a whole when Nebraska is good, so I wish you guys well whether or not UT makes it 6 out of 7 in a couple of weeks... I've always wondered how Solich got run out of town after a 9-3 season... Bring back the Triple Option!!!! ha, you don’t get water?

Nothing is more frustrating than watching a football team close their collective eyes and squeal for 4 quarters after being hit in the mouth a couple of times (cf. NE v. Colorado in '01 and then the Miami game, and virtually every other meaningful game that Frank Solich coached...) nice recap by the way... and for the record, i'm from new england, having been grafted in to the husker thing the last several years dude i live in Omaha…you have to be a fan or you don’t get water.

Just remember what has happened the last few times my Horns have played Nebraksa with special emphasis on the roadies to Lincoln... 1996- Inaugaral Big 12 Championship Game, Texas 37 #3 Nebraska 27 (4th and 1 is all that needs to be said, John Mackovic's shining moment) 1998- Major Applewhite brings them back AT LINCOLN Texas 20 #7 Nebraska 16 (UT broke a long, long home winning streak) 1999- Last minute TD catch propels Horns #18 Texas 24 #3 Nebraska 20 So you avenged your previous 3 losses against us in the '99 Big 12 championship, good job (1-3 isn't too bad) #12 Texas 6 #3 Nebraska 22 2002- Nathan Vasher (now with Chi Bears) saves the day at Lincoln #7 Texas 27 Nebraska 24 2003- Texas out-Nebraskas Nebraska, Vince Young emerging(rushes for 163) #16 Texas 31 #12 Nebraska 7 So the Huskers are 1-5 against the Horns since the Big 12 formed up, I have a feeling this year won't be much different... I tell you what though, Nebraska was heavily favored in the inaugural Big 12 Ch. game too, so after that anything can happen... Hook 'em Horns! You’re a Husker? Just remember what has happened the last few times my Horns have played Nebraksa with special emphasis on the roadies to Lincoln…

1996- Inaugaral Big 12 Championship Game,
Texas 37 #3 Nebraska 27 (4th and 1 is all that needs to be said, John Mackovic’s shining moment)

1998- Major Applewhite brings them back AT LINCOLN
Texas 20 #7 Nebraska 16 (UT broke a long, long home winning streak)

1999- Last minute TD catch propels Horns
#18 Texas 24 #3 Nebraska 20
So you avenged your previous 3 losses against us in the ‘99 Big 12 championship, good job (1-3 isn’t too bad)
#12 Texas 6 #3 Nebraska 22

2002- Nathan Vasher (now with Chi Bears) saves the day at Lincoln
#7 Texas 27 Nebraska 24

2003- Texas out-Nebraskas Nebraska, Vince Young emerging(rushes for 163)
#16 Texas 31 #12 Nebraska 7

So the Huskers are 1-5 against the Horns since the Big 12 formed up, I have a feeling this year won’t be much different… I tell you what though, Nebraska was heavily favored in the inaugural Big 12 Ch. game too, so after that anything can happen… Hook ‘em Horns!
