The day Nebraska football died.

19 years later and Nebraska STILL hasn't recovered!

This was the sea-change game for the Nebraska football program. This was the end of them as a national power. In fact, I would say that this was the single most damaging defeat suffered by any program in the last 20 years in terms of what followed. They got beat so bad that it was a reputation-destroyer. The blowout loss to Miami in the Rose Bowl only served as confirmation.

I agree with the last post. I truly miss the old BIG 8 Conference. I am a Buff Fan but I loved watching so many of those Nebraska & Oklahoma teams! Truly a conference that had some class.

Whenever I feel down, I watch this game. Hi Randy! Go Buffs!!

My first team I ever cheered for CU Buffs! Never will forget that 1990 season. Go Buffs! all the way baby.

This is the game that made Brent Musberger my favorite College Football Broadcaster.

The crazy thing is that the Nebraska football program has never been the same since this game

I remember watching this game when I was 11 years old just in total shock.

Don't forget, Nebraska responded with a 27-7 run after Colorado jumped out to their 35-3 lead. After Colorado made it 42-16 in the second quarter, Colorado went well over a quarter without scoring.

I've almost forgotten what top-flight talent looks like in a Colorado uniform.... good times

I was at this game. Never seen so many Nebraska fans in tears. This place was so loud and the fans were pumped even before the game started. Go Buffs!!

I was there 15 years ago!!!! my dad my brother and my mother's 4 brothers are all grads from cu!! I watched em all lose for many years but we will have PAC 12 champ title today!! love you all hope the best for this state and it's families!!!

Incredible, I can't believe it took 11 years for someone to edit this down and put on KZread, you sir are a great American. Single best sporting event I've ever witnessed, still gives me goosebumps!

When people question the rivalry, I point to the 80s, 90s, and this game. We literally destroyed their program that beautiful Friday. One of my favorite days ever at Folsom. Truly rockin'. Chris Brown was so dominant. I forgot how great Bobby Purify was that day too.

As a Husker fan, 2001 Colorado destroyed us in a way we still haven't recovered from yet, Chris Brown was unstoppable, I miss these Thanksgiving games, great memories, except this one haha GBR

Colorado tripped out of the blocks that season, but was absolutely red hot by the time they got to this game. If they had played this way all season and got that number 2 ranking, they could have given Miami all they could handle in the National Championship game.

God that brings back great memories.

It's still amazing to me that even with this loss, Nebraska was still allowed to play in the Rose Bowl against Miami. Whoever was behind should've deserved the right to play Miami. Not saying that team would've beaten Miami for sure, but Nebraska had no business being in the Rose Bowl after the loss.

Unbelievable it’s been that long. Not a fan of either but can remember that day. I became a Colorado fan as a second or third team.
