Historical Game of the Week: 90-91 Colorado at Nebraska

[hhcscott]

 

My first try at this. I'm going to try some things to fix the tracking in later attempts.

State outline.  Awesome!

[TomEadesSucks]

Thanks Scott!

[tcp]

awesome! man, i miss those old raycom sports broadcasts. so many good players on the court for NU. oh, and I was at that game! wheee!.

[cipsucks]

Thanks for the effort, Scott, but I can't watch it.  The 90-91 season is still too painful....

 

I'm actually serious about this.  To this day, I can't watch any footage from the 1983 Husker football season.  Whenever that failed two point conversion starts to play on the TV, I turn my head.  I had too much inversted in Tom getting his first National Championship.

 

Same thing in 1991.  That was the year Nebraska was in the Sweet Sixteen for sure, and with a little bit of luck, the Final Four.   ...sigh....

 

The first cut is the deepest......

gracias for the upload scott!

[TomEadesSucks]

I like that Piatkowski kid.

[REDZONEDAN]

Do you have access to the Kansas game ('91-'92 I think) with the Bruce Chubick block, Cresswell three, and the Jamar Johnson three?  I would love to see that game again.

HUSKER BOB!

 

Wow, this video...the memories are just flooding back.

Yep.  We were going to play Duke in the Sweet 16.

Redzonedan,

I honestly don't know. I have a lot of games taped from 90-94 but I don't have them labeled consistently so some tapes I know the who but not the when, others just say NUBB. I will leep an eye out for it.

[uneblinstu]

Looks like they had the little girls gymnastics team from one of the Dakotas they had a few weeks ago at halftime.  That was a pretty sloppy start to this game.

49r:We stayed in the same hotel with Duke in Minneapolis and were looking forward to seeing us play that never-to-be game. Our plans were dashed and we were stuck for the rest of the weekend there. We tried to switch our interest to Duke, but it just never worked. I did get  a new best friend since I rode the elevator with Billy McCaffery a few times and wished him (faux) good luck. And my daughter got to dance with the Blue Devil mascot at a pep rally. The only autograph I got on that visit turned out to be Alan Ogg, who played for some visiting pro team that also checked into the hotel before playing the Timberwolves. I should have tried for Coach K., but he scared me.

^{Nice way to kill a Sunday afternoon - thanks Scott.}

[MichHusker]

Maybe i should be doing my homework instead of watching this. Oh well...

[PAhusker]

anything from the late 90s early 2000s possibly later?

[hhcscott]

It's mostly 1990-94. I moved to Minnesota in 94. A lot fewer games were on television then, and most of those were regional rather than national. Difficult to remember how hard it was to get Nebraska basketball information/games before the internet really began to catch on.

[Handy Johnson]

This was the game where I believe Colorado's Billy Law fell down and had his "groin" stepped on. We of course referred to that moving forward as "the Billy Law treatment".

[hhcmatt]

I will try and remember to tag these HGOTW if Scott doesn't.

That way at the bottom of every new Historical GOTW, the old ones will show up as well

HUSKER BOB!

 

Wow, this video...the memories are just flooding back.

 

Is this Husker Bob?

 

[hhcmatt]

 

The announcers are Ray Lane and Jack Hartman, who look like exactly the same person.

Jack Hartman is the one who says "Colorada"

[hhcmatt]

 

Colorado had a player on their team named "House Guest".  

Seems like his parents were jerks so going to Colorado probably felt natural to him.

Yep, that's him.  He's the man responsible for the GOOOOO BIIIIIIIIIG REEEEEE EEEEDDDD chant.

 

He was at every single Husker athletic event.  Died at Memorial Stadium during a football game.  I want to say it was an Oklahoma game.

IIRC, his original first name was Rodell.   His nickname was House.   I want to say he officially changed his name to House while at CU ??

I was thinking the other day that the call and answer "Go Big Red" chant works poorly at basketball games due to their fast pace.

Simply chanting "Go Big Red" over and over again would work better.
