When Nebraska and Oklahoma were always in the top 5 and played each other every year, the day after Thanksgiving life was good.

I was 11 years old and I loved my Sooners. So many legends in this game. I nearly cried after the loss but loved the revenge game. Like many on here, I sure miss this game & hate that both schools are in different conferences. See you Huskers in a couple years.

@@lloydkline3265 I miss the days of triple option offenses, as well. To me, it doesn't matter whether the base formation is the wishbone, the flex, the power I, or the veer. There's something poetic about the creation of that mesh between qb and fullback, and the magic of isolating the perimeter defender as the qb and trailing back attack the edge.... It's a great system for youth players to learn fundamentals on both sides of the ball.

This rivalry is one of the reasons that I became a college football fan. I hated seeing it ended.

I was a kid when this game was played. I grew up in Florida, as an NFL fan, but when OU Nebraska came on, around Thanksgiving, you can bet your ass everyone in my neighborhood was glued to the TV. What a treat to be able to see this game again!!!! Thank you!!!!!! And I can add to favorites the 79, 80 and 81 games and watch them next.

lots of hard hits in this game, didn't see the players go down on the ground for a broken toenail like today.

A classic rivalry that is no more, sadly. 2 Georgia boys, Frank and Keith doing commentary. Days gone by.

I WAS 15 ON THIS classic DAY !! I loved OU as a kid ?!1 What a GREAT wishbone O they had ! All 4 were OUTSTANDING !! The QB Lott and those 3 backs, WOW !! This was a beautiful time to be young growing up in the bay area !

KETV re-aired this in 2006. Ironically, this original broadcast copy is in better shape than my tape.

This game made me a Nebraska fan.

Back then no long drawn-out seemingly 5 hour pre-game, Once aired as scheduled, the kickoff starts without further ado, no now-distracting excessive graphics of score updates of sports all around nor pop ups on the screen. No honey shots of the college gals in the stands. I can go on and on...

Tears for the memories.....

Tom Osborne, one of the best classiest coaches that’ll ever be. Appreciated all of the games between Sooners & CornHuskers. Those games were a hard hitting gentlemen’s games; respectful. Nothing shameful about losing a game against NU every now and then. Come back home Nebraska. Boomer Sooner!

Tragically, Overstreet who was drafted by the Dolphins and had a 1200 yard rookie season rushing the ball, was killed in a car wreck before what would have been his second season at Miami.

Great memories of carefree days and great good hitting college (& pro) football. For those of my high school classmates who went to college, they would have been seniors that year. And who better to call this game than the great Keith Jackson. A week later the Cornhuskers would be stunned by Missouri and the Sooners got their revenge against Nebraska in the Orange Bowl on Jan 1st. Billy Sims went on to a brilliant career with the Detroit Lions until a knee injury in 1984 ended his playing days.. A crushing and sad end.

Tom Osborne almost lost his job because of the Huskers' futility vs OU then. This was one of the biggest wins in N.U. history for a short time (about a week). I actually liked watching OU's Wishbone offense, unless they were playing N.U. They did with the running games then what the passing offenses of today do now. Vastly different era of Football...

One of the great games of this series. Oklahoma fumbled the ball nine times and lost by 3 points. These two teams played each other again just six weeks later in the Orange Bowl, with OU coming out on top.

Virgil, can you find this for me 1982 Oklahoma Sooners vs Arizona State

As Herb Brooks would say, "if we played them ten times, they might win nine, but not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we play with them, tonight, we stay with them and shut them down because we can." That best described the effort by Nebraska against one helluva football team in OU.

I will never forget that ridiculous model of facemask that Lott wore, it was common until about 1974 but then almost all our players went to newer style facemasks. OU tickets back in the 70s had a side profile of the OU helmet with that same facemask.

Commentators: Keith Jackson, Frank Broyles &

I was 19 years old when this game was played. When Jeff Hansen made that hit on Billy S. I leaped out of my chair and hit my head on the ceiling. It was great to get that win over OU.

Did Frank Broles say that passing coach's tend to want to deflate the balls a little bit lol... So it's not just Tom Brady lol, He just got caught.

Remembered the 69-17 shellacking Nebraska gave Indiana that season. Now they're Big 10 conference rivals and such a mismatch is far from certain.
