Notre Dame : "We challenge you to run the ball up the middle" Nebraska: "Challenge accepted"

This my first and only visit to Lincoln. I flew home to Newark (NJ) the next day. Two days later, the towers came down. My friend and I got on the field in the afternoon and got a picture of the "N" It just didn't get any better. Best trip of my life.

I’m still pissed Frank was pissed on, I’m aware he lost big games, it took Tom like 8 years to beat Ok. The best thing about Nebraska football was running the option. We’ve stunk ever since.

The problem with Frank Solich wasn't his 42-7 record in his first 49 games: It was his 16-12 record in his last 28 games. Additionally, too many bad "firsts" happened starting with Solich's first year, and without hindsight - these were not very well received. The other problem with Frank Solich related to football was recruiting, which was tougher anyway because of the mega-conferences, increased TV exposure of other teams through advances in technology, and rules changes such as roster limits which were a de facto target at Nebraska more than most teams. I think Tom Osborne was an absolute genius for retiring when he did. From what I understand, he actually thought about retiring after the 1995 and 1996 seasons. With that said, despite the 9-3 record in 2003 and the atrocious losses to the teams that mattered most, capped by the 38-9 K-State win Lincoln, Frank was making good adjustments, but his extracurricular activities off the field related to boozing and whom he was having relations were also a part of his dismissal. At the time, when you're 42-7 those things tend to get a bit overlooked. When you lose to Colorado 62-36 and have a 7-7 season the next year, not so much. I had ZERO problem with Solich getting fired at the time, but I did have a problem with whom they hired to replace him in Bill Callahan. When I found out that was his replacement, then I was pissed that Solich got fired.

Frank should have quit drinking and having a child with someone else while he was married, but he let those issues creep into football. He deserved to get fired.

She too was attracted to me and was more attractive than Jamie and was going into her sophomore year at SDSU.

The "cough" glory days for Solich were numbered. 9 games later the wheels would come off of Solich's career at Neb where he would go 16-12 and rightfully be shown the door. If you know you are a coach, you go looking, you don't wait till it comes to you. And he has Osborn to thank for getting fired. Neb was tired of the 9-3 avg horseshit that they had put up with during Osborne's first 21 years.
