73-18. Will never forget it.

At the time, it was the worst defeat of a ranked team in the history of college football. Great memory.

I was at that game. It was a great Huskie victory and the celebration included a torn down field goal post and a sloppy drunken celebration! Those were the days!

Was there too, with a buddy and his son. Buddy took me a pix of the final scoreboard, which I still have somewhere. Weather was gorgeous. Crowd was ecstatic. Terrific game and day!

Didn't go to a lot of games back then but was there for that one. One of best in person games

From what you just said reminds me of being in HS in the mid 80's watching the college gane of the week where it seemed that every game was under a big, bright sun, a cloudless, blue sky on a brisk autumn day. The fanfare and pageantry on full display among the schools colors with me thinking to myself that I cannot wait to experience that at NIU.

I think we can count on our fingers how many actual home were like that at Huskie Stadium with the Freso Game being one of them. Has there every been a Homecoming game where it was a crisp sunny day? It always seems to be an overcast, cold rainy day.


I apologize for going off on a tangent and do not mean to take the spotlight from Stacys' daughter. But your post got my writing juices going.
