IU defeats Nebraska! I’m partying tonight!

As far as I know, this is the only victory Indiana has ever enjoyed over the Cornhuskers. I sat in a pouring rain in Memorial Stadium in 1978 to watch IU host Nebraska, and saw my Hoosiers lose 69-17 (it was something like 28-0 at the end of the 1st quarter). The worst part wasn’t the rain, or the score, but that on our way to the stadium we actually thought we had a chance to win. Well, as to why we thought that, I won’t say anything about college kids’ “activities” back in the 70’s.

Given the looks of the present Indiana Hoosiers, even though we are now in the same conference and will play the Huskers regularly, it’s still unlikely to happen again in the near future.

By the way, do you know what the “N” on Nebraska’s helmet stands for?
