Ok, classless bastages, the old man gets to chime in !
1982 Independence Bowl !
I got off work on a Friday night. My wife, her brother and his friend piled into our 1980 Plymouth Horizon TC3. We drove all night, saw the sun come up in TexArkana. We ate then crashed until it was time to get up for the drive to Shreveport. Ate supper there and went to the game.
Of course the place was crawling with Wildcat fans. Jim Dickey was the coach and we played like we were just glad to be there ! Wisconsin won 14 - 3. After the game (it was a night game), we went back to TexArkana and crashed again.
My uncle brought me a shirt from this bowl. I was 10 you old bastard! :tongue:
Got up Sunday morning and drove back to Manhattan. What a road trip ! A highlight of the trip was teaching my Bro-in-law how to drive a stick shift. I saw fraternity brothers who had made the trip over from Dallas.
Oh, did I mention it was our first bowl ever ? :beerchug:
ive only been to the cotton bowl in 2000 and one of the images that will stick in my mind was the ice storm the night before. dallas did not know how to deal with an ice storm. they were very slow to put salt on the roads or clear anything up. i was driving back from a new years eve party with some family and almost got my car stuck going up a ramp on the highway. as for the game we got there with no tickets and as luck would have it bought some for 20 dollars a piece outside the stadium an hour before kick off. man what a fun time it was to see us stomp phil fulmer like we would have in 98...

Considering that K-Lite has been to about 4 bowls in the history of the program, this is a pretty long thread.
:lol:
:flush: K-Lite!!!

This thread is hilarious...there are only about four options. K-Lite has NEVER been relevant to the National Championship picture at bowl time. So continue comparing your experiences at backwater bowls in games that no one watches or cares about. It's pretty amusing.

No surprise that you're trying to change the subject. It'll be interesting to see which happens first....K-Lite getting to a bowl that's broadcast on network television, or cable television finally making it's way to Manhattan so the fans there can watch their team in an irrelevant bowl that no one cares about.
:lol:

Do you even know when the last time nu was relevant to the National Championship picture ?
I agree that KSU hasn't had national relevance, except for maybe 1998. But we lost to A&M, so no relevance.
1995. CONGRATULATIONS. I give full props to the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers on this one. The closest anyone came to you was Wash St and 2 TD's.
So, in summary, we have to go back to 11 years ago to when Nebraska had any relevance in the National Championship scene. Which is a long time to even spout any superiority.
Oh and BTW, I may be classless, but draw the line on making fun of anyone's family.
QuoteDo you even know when the last time nu was relevant to the National Championship picture ?
2001. So about 5 years ago. We lost, but at least we were there. We won National Championships in 1994, 1995, and 1997. It's beena roug couple of years as we rebuilt the whole system, especially the offense, but are almost back....next year we'll be in the National Championship picture.QuoteI agree that KSU hasn't had national relevance, except for maybe 1998.

Yeah, that's basically my point....never relevant.Quote1995. CONGRATULATIONS. I give full props to the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers on this one. The closest anyone came to you was Wash St and 2 TD's.
Thanks. All biases as a fan aside, that was the best college football team that I've ever seen. Just dominant in every phase of the game.QuoteSo, in summary, we have to go back to 11 years ago to when Nebraska had any relevance in the National Championship scene.

More like 5 years or so. In any event, even though it's been a few years, it trumps never.QuoteOh and BTW, I may be classless, but draw the line on making fun of anyone's family.
That's cool. Other than some occasional mom-smack, I try to as well. I'm here to talk football and give you guys a hard time. Those who rely on insulting someone's family are usually too stupid or inarticulate to craft a clever response. So I see it as more of a sign of their idiocy than anything.
:flush: K-Lite!!!
I've shown nu's relevancy (which is irrelevant until you go back to 1995) and you're so far off topic, that you're irrelevant.
NU went through rough times during transition.
nu has a ton more all time history than KSU. Congrats.
LOL at NU being back in the national title picture next year.
The allmighty BIG 12 NORTH, strongest DIVISION of a conference in the nationQuoteNU went through rough times during transition.
Yeah, back to dominating the Big 12 North now

Wow...that's almost as many in this conversation as your team scored against Nebraska in the entire game. Either I'm exceptionally witty or your team sucks....probably both.
