very cool pic!!!But, at least if you are a member, not sure for non-members, there is a download button. If you want me to email, I would have to download them from flickr, as those are my nonpersonal keeper photos, and then attach to a personal message and send to you. Tell me your preference.
well, either use the attachment thingy on the 'full' post page, or, if they're already on the interweb somewhere just use the little button for images and post them... basically, anything but a image host such as flickr... heheheheheeee!! they make it hard for me to collect.
nah, i figured out how to snag them... they'll be in rotation in a few minutes... thanks!!! that last one is great... makes the place seem more driven by users than just flopping out images by major outlets, ya know? that is precisely what i'm trying to do!Okay, then, did you get this one. Not exactly a great action shot. But a clear one.

As the new coach of the Buckeyes in 1934, he was asked about beating UM and he made the comment that they put their pants on one leg at a time just like we do. They ended up beating UM 34-0 that season and all the players were given a gold pants charm and the tradition was started that every player who beats Michigan get the gold pants.
That was his nickname, and FRANCIS SCHMIDT earned it by running up the score with a dazzling offense. Even though he coached his way into college football’s HALL OF FAME, few Nebraska fans seem aware of this innovative and eccentric FORMER CORNHUSKER.
“Schmidt’s teams did everything with the football but turn it inside out,” a Pittsburgh columnist once wrote. “Double and triple laterals sped in all directions. Forward passes filled the air. There were spreads that defied the imagination.”
At NU, 1906
At Arkansas
At TCU
Schmidt’s handiwork did far more than turn sportswriters agog. Sid Gillman, considered the father of the modern passing game, called Schmidt his greatest influence. And the I formation is said to be Schmidt's creation.

Easy to be prophetic when you know something most everyone else doesn't.
Edwards 52 pass from RattayI was there. It was hot, muggy, Edwards also had some nice kick returns. He looked like he was going to collapse and die after the game. They still lost by 29. Rattay threw for 590.
Edwards 94 pass from Rattay
Edwards 80 pass from Rattay

1922 HUSKERS’ BRAWN BEATS NOTRE DAME’S FINESSEI love the sports-writer hyperbole of the 1920s. From what I can tell, Nebraska first played Notre Dame in 1916. Yet, by 1922, the Irish were the "ancient enemy."

JACK BEST
Before kickoff, fans paid tribute to Jack Best, Nebraska’s beloved athletic trainer and a fixture on campus since 1888 (https://www.huskermax.com/pastnews/week/2013_01_20.html). It was no secret that the big-hearted Englishman hadn’t much longer to live.
As the Omaha World-Herald described it:
He was carried to the sidelines in an automobile decorated in Nebraska colors. The sight of the Grand Old Man brought the immense crowd to its feet and the stands thundered out:
“He’s the man.
“Who’s the man?
“He’s a Nebraska man — Jack Best!”
And it was then that the old trainer, with tears in his eyes, doffed his hat and waved a response to the throng.
Then the game. Jack said it was great. To see his boys triumph over their ancient enemy!
Best’s presence in the locker room (https://www.huskermax.com/1940-jack-best-story-nebraska-football-trainer/) before the game was said to be an inspiration (https://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/deep-red-speech-sparked-nu-in/article_ba68092b-704f-51b8-96b8-6dde88bc7a09.amp.html) to the players that afternoon.
Best died less than two months later at age 77. Classes at the university were canceled the afternoon of services, which were attended by more than 2,000 at the Armory. For more than 20 years ending in 1949, the Jack Best Trophy was awarded to the top fraternity in intramural athletics.
#41 Hawkeye defender wasn't one of the greatest defenders, but possibly one of the greatest coachesAs a player, #41 was one of those "does a lot with what talent he has" types.

#20 - one of the greatest - better be in the top ten on the other thread - be in my top 5Billy Sims had 2 great seasons. On that list, he's up against RBs with 3 and 4 great seasons. Volume.
I don't believe Tom Osborne ever lost to oSu, KU, or KSU as Head Coach in 25 seasons .That one loss to Iowa State has got to be the biggest upset ever, just by feel. I know there were bigger upsets by point spread or whatever, but it was the most out of felt field upset. Like you assumed the TV graphic was wrong or something. It didn't even register that it could be accurate.

Detail from 1904 Nebraska team photo
(https://www.huskermax.com/games/1908/carlisle_team714.jpg)Here's a cleaner version of that picture, claimed by ExplorPaHistory.com to be the 1908 team.
Jim Thorpe is second from left, top row, in this photo of the Carlisle team that appeared in the Omaha Bee several days before the game. It is probably the 1907 team, however.
It was a big deal when Jim Thorpe and the 1908 Carlisle Indians came to Lincoln in early December.
Though not yet an Olympic hero, Thorpe was a budding legend on the gridiron in his second season with the Pennsylvania school. The Indians were gaining a mystique by going toe to toe with the top programs of the era — and often coming out on top. In October, they battled the season’s mythical national champion, Penn, to a 6-6 tie.
In some circles, they were derided as a de-facto professional team. Nebraska’s faculty, in fact, protested the late addition of Carlisle to the schedule. “The school, the faculty charged, had gone crassly commercial,” wrote the Omaha World-Herald’s Frederick Ware in a 1940 history of NU football.
But fans weren’t about to protest. Anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000 of them showed up on a cold Wednesday afternoon at Antelope Park, the Cornhuskers’ temporary home field for the season, to see how Nebraska stacked up against coach Glenn “Pop” Warner’s squad.
NOTES: About 50 American Indians from the reservations of Nebraska and South Dakota came to Lincoln to see “the vaunted redskins from the east,” the Omaha Bee reported. During the game, “many of these Indians, together with the subs of the Carlisle team, huddled together along the north side lines, wrapped in colored blankets, until it looked like a real Indian pow pow.” ... The game was the Indians’ ninth in a row away from Carlisle. Their final home game of the season was in September.

People would sit on the embankment to the top left and watch games for free until 1981 when that end was enclosed. Folks could also watch from the bridge lower right (when it was constructed), when I was a student they charged a bit to stand on the bridge. That bridge traverse a valley that separates older North Campus (liberal arts, law school) and South (STEM, pharmacy, etc.) I have hoofed it across that bridge many times because we only had 15 minutes between classes and Germans was in extreme north campus. The field orientation if E-W which is fairly rare. There is a small creek that runs under the field.
Ah, are we playing "Guess the Stadium"?Well, I suppose we could play that game, but I'd think the answer in this case is obvious. This is a more recent view.
Yeah, I went to UNC also, I forgot about that. I saw exactly zero football games in 4.5 years there.I've seen one game there. I think it was the '82 UNC-Army game. Tarheels won a whole bunch to not very many.
It's kinda on my list, if they have a season this fall I might try and make a game. UNC might be decent this year, like 8-4 or 9-3, they were decent last year. Mack has them playing football again. They were soft before him.Larry Fedora must have been the Sta-Puft Marshmallow man, because Mack Brown is not known for being a reincarnation of Bear Bryant at the Junction, Texas, training camp.
Any time I watched them under Fedora, they couldn't tackle, had bad technique even I could see. They also had a LOT of injuries, which I think may have been due to practices that were not enough hard contact.Didn't Fedora get into a mix up after publicly doubting the connection between CTE and football. He was decried as a meathead, etc.
