What is your favorite CU moment?
What is your favorite CU moment?
Hate to show my age, but 20-10 has to be the best moment.
A 2-4 CU team - no wins over Nebraska since 1969 - Cornhuskers undefeated and ranked 3rd - no television coverage! - Jeff Campbell reverse for a touchdown - halfback pass to Lance Carl for a touchdown - a (then) Folsom Field record 57-yard field goal by DeLine - Barry Remington's interception with 3:14 to play ... uh, you get the idea ...
All that has been good about the Colorado football program for the past 23 years can be traced back to that afternoon. :gobuffs:
The NC win over Notre Dame was good, but, let's face it, it was not an exciting football game, and the PR called back at the end put a damper on the celebration. The Miracle at Michigan is etched in all our memory banks, and 62-36 was swwwweeeet, but the best moment in CU football over my 30 years has to be 20-10 in 1986!

The 1990 season was just magic. It happened to be my senior year, which made it all the more easy to get swept up in the scene. The road trip with some friends to Lincoln was epic, and holds the top spot for my favorite CU memory. Rushing the field is always a thrill. Rushing the field at Nebraska Memorial was insane.
The 2001 CCG in Texas Stadium is a close second. That was the loudest CU game I've attended. God bless Mochetti, who never gets enough credit for filling in for Oches and getting it done. It's always Simms/Applewhite blah, blah, blah.

I watched the 86 game on AFN, very 1 sided announcers. Very cool to watch a few high school friends beat :rip:cornholio:rip: in my barracks in Germany.Hate to show my age, but 20-10 has to be the best moment.

Or Moschetti's good friend, Bobby Pesavento, in this case.
This poll is more like an age distribution chart than anything.
still, it does reflect the age of the posters at times. If I hadn't been young and living in hawaii, I am sure the mNC would have been #1 for me. And those who weren't fans until after 62-36 picked the sooners game,e tc.Uh no, I gave options for everybody. My dad played in early 70's, yet his best moment is 20-10. I know some of his friends who are very proud of that 71 season.
I voted for 62-36.. I thought we had a great chance to win but had no idea we would be up 35-3 during the game.. Along with all the close calls against these clowns, it was just nice to break through.. Was it more significant than the National Championship or the Miracle in Michigan? No, but it was such a relief to win a big game again.. 1st big win since the A$M game in 95..
Even though it was a big win.....in 05' we took it to you 30-3 which is a +1 point margin over that game. Still a big win tho.
A couple of big differences. In 2001 nebraska was stilll... you know...nebraska. Ranked #1, undefeated and all that crap. The game opened with a BANG! While people tend to forget the Crouch had his greatest personal offensive output of his career, they don't forget that this one was over pretty early. Despite the score, it looked like total domination for CU.
In the '05 game, CU had just laid an egg against ISU and neither CU nor nebraska was its old 90's self; The game meant less on a national scale and fewer people (outside Colorado and nebraska) cared about the result. Also, it was still a game until the fourth quarter when nebraska ran away with it.
However, if CU fans can take credit for a role in dismantling the nebraska program in '01 and getting Solich fired, than nu fans can be proud of the 30-3 result in 05. That was when it all really crumbled for the GB era. I mean the Big XII Championship was worse, but the damage had already been done.
I agree with you...it was a big game for your program. But choosing a rival ass whooping over your only national championship for most memorable?????? U out ur mindz
