gotta go with 90 because we were behiind the whole game
I was at that game. It was so cold and rainy. My brother was in a ball wrapped in blankets under those wooden bleachers and after Bieniemy's 3rd TD, my dad lifts my brother up on to his shoulders and says, "I don't care how cold you are, you have to see this!"
Then walking out of the stadium we overheard husker fans calling for Osborne to be fired. You have to remember Osborne used to be known for not winning thr big games and husker fans thought their opportunity came when OU went down, then the Buffs were their big game and they still lost. Husker fans were pissed after that game.
I was in Saudi, listening to the game on radio. Armed Forces Radio Network tied into the fuskers radio broadcast. OMG, it was horrible and a riot, all at the same time. The play-by-play announcer's sign off for half-time was, (very excited voice) "(fusker kicker's name) 12 and Colorado nothing!".
How sweet it was in the 4th quarter, with the Buffs leading, when the 'sker s went for it on 4th down. Buffs D holds, and all hope was drained from 'morial stadium. The color commentator opined, "Well, they are the #1 team in the nation, you gotta give 'em that." To which the play-by-play hack replied (quite angrily), "I don't gotta give 'em nothing!".
Game over. I turned off the walkman and went to sleep with a huge grin on my face.

Second - Pritchards catch from Hagan when he got one foot magically down. How he made that play is beyond me. But he did, and at that point, the fusker faithfull were getting nervous.
that is one dude who IMO, gets no where near the credit he deserves in CU football history. he was a sick player. played RB vs Tennessee that year and damn near had 200 yards rushing filling in for EB.
if i remember correctly, his stats in every area were better than the "Rocket" from notre dame who won the HT that year with the exception of punt returns which MP did not do.
that catch was indeed incredible, not only in his athletic ability but in permanitly putting the momentum of that game in the Buffs corner. what an amazing play that was. :wow:
Last - Some ROTC guys that made the trip with us are on the field after the game. They were an insane group. One of them pulls his dick out and starts pissing on the "N". I sh!t you not. Well, the cops had put up with us until that point, but not afterwards. Some cop comes up and grabs him from behind and starts PUSHING him out of the stadium. Think about it... that's right, he's still got his dick out and is now pissing all over himself. :lol:
I was at that game too. I have several enduring memories.
OK, now one more... Chanting at the really pissed off fusker fans as they leave the stadium "WE DON'T LIVE IN LINCOLN!!!" Ooooooohhhhh, that made em mad. :thumbsup:
:nod:Sounds like white sox announcers! Thats awesome though.
I remember doing that. It took over a decade before I realized that might be considered mean-spirited. But what can you do? **** 'em.
Mean spirited was the order of the day for the "Sal is dead go big red" trash.
And trust me they gave it back in spades in 92.
I was at work and was too far away to hear what was happening, but a KSU grad I work with almost fell out of his chair onto the floor. I asked him what happened, and he pointed to the radio and made a painful gesture to his head. A goodbye present for Bill Snyder who retired that year after 17 years as the biggest cup-cake eating slimeball to ever coach in the Midwest. The same jellyfish spine piece of $hit that allowed El Robertson to play in a bowl game, and after KSU lost the game, he kicked him off the team. One of the all time biggest skumbags to ever coach in college football.i've got a soft spot in my heart for the 04 KSU game in Boulder. Klatt to Monteilh, 60 yards, TD. .05 on the clock. 38-31 Buffs. thank you very much.
Did you travel with Jay and Sweeney? I think I remember Jay sharing that same story after they returned.

Jay Bob Rutter!!! YES!! Do you know him? We were fraternity brothers. He was one insane guy. I thought the world of him, though.

We were all ROTC. Yup, he was nuts, and for ten cents he'd show them to you.
Bumped into someone fishing two or three years ago who had a couple of Jay Rutter stories. Same tricks. :wink2:
I heard through the grapevine that he's a major or a colonel now? Is that true?
