As always... you know the story of my close friend passing away from leukemia in 1997. CU football was one of our activities to do together. We travelled to places like Stanford, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Kansas, Michigan, Washington, Cotton Bowl, and ofcourse Nebraska....
He and I went in 1992 to our first away Nebraska game and on that long road home, vowed to go to Lincoln until we won there. Mostly because we were treated so poorly DURING the game.
We went every year he was alive and I finished the pact in 2002.
Meanwhile, I wrote a poem in 2001 prior to that game and added on after....
Here:
In 1991, It was the start of a decade of pain
Over the next 10 years against us, Nebraska did reign
It was a night game, on a snow filled day,
Where a blocked field goal made things go our way.
We tried and we tied for Big 8 Champs,
Who knew it was the beginning of long term cramps.
In 1992, It was cold rainy and grey
We had no idea what we were in for that day.
We sucked, we sucked and we sucked some more
Nebraska treated us like we were there little whore
Tommie Frazier, Derrick Brown and Calvin Jones ran and scored
They beat us 52-7 and I was totally floored.
The Nebraska fans threw beer and treated us with class,
So imagine how we felt when they kicked our ass
I made a promise that day with Jeremy Stern
That we would come to Lincoln, until a CU win we would earn
IN 1993 It was more of the same
Nebraska scored 3 Touchdowns quicker than Chuck Fishman came.
It was that day that Kordell couldn’t complete a pass,
We scored 14 points late but then ran out of gas.
IN 1994, it was billed “GAME OF THE YEAR”
Ranked #2 and #3, Nebraskans were full of fear
16 of us got in cars to go to Lincoln,
At the border we showed are asses…don’t think we weren’t drinkin (not the driver)
Driving to the game, we all got pulled over
Then Jeremy threw up, to avoid a Hangover
We went to Sidetrax and sang with the fat pig,
After 16 pitchers, Nebraska women didn’t look that big.
We arrived at the stadium with Oranges in hand,
But Nebraska kicked are asses and they became #1 in the Land.
IN 1995 after 4 years of pain,
Rick Neuheisel did something insane
The team came through the student section in all black
Rosga knocked Rob Finerbrg flat on his back
Nebraska scored on the first offensive play
But the Buffs wouldn’t quite go away.
We sacked Tommie Frazier and he fumbled the ball,
The refs screwed up and made a bad call
It was a TD that did not count,
That is when Nebraska’s lead started to mount
Nebraska 44 and CU 21- it made us feel dumb
We still think Rick Neuheisal is a ****ing bum.
1996 was different than the rest,
Our field goal kicker kicked 2, we thought he was the best.
Then came the interception that Koy threw,
We were now down 7-6, that really blew.
It was cold, rainy and snow was coming down
The winner of this game plays for the Big 12 crown.
Nebraskas offense never scored a TD that day
And the Buffs had a chance to put it away.
Chris Anderson dropped a TD pass,
The buffs once again, took it in the ass.
In 1997 it was a beautiful day,
And ****ing Nebraska scored on the very first play.
They built up a lead of 27-3
It was an amazing comeback that we all did see.
If the onside kick didn’t go through Kelly’s hands,
We would have rushed the field and emptied the stands.
There still was one play that we could have won,
Phil Savoy called for PI, and then we were done.
In 1998, the Buffs started again real bad,
Moschetti throws and interception for a TD, continuing the fad.
This time it was different cause it was close all the way
Chiaverini was called for Pass Interference and the refs took the game away.
We out gained them, outpassed them and ran down their throats
But the refs bent us over and ****ed us like goats.
