Nebraska 2001 was definitely the greatest in my mind. It was the last great run for Colorado and marked the end of an era for the Huskers. Nobody thought we’d take that one, more or less snatch it in the first quarter and hold it over their heads for 45 minutes. The Dan Graham catch was unbelieveable.

There is no bigger win in CU history than 62-36.

I think we all felt that 62-36 Nebraska win, and the win over Texas in the championship game, meant that Barnett had turned a corner and CU was going to be back on top. We all know it’ll be a couple years before we can say that about Hawkins’ program, but lets hope this win turns into more solid recruiting for the future.

You guys are correct, that cold game was the tie. That was a huge home game too. Skye–the 62-36 thrashing of Neb. is on there at #3. I could never forget that. I think if Hawk gets this program to take off (which I think he will), that the OU game could be a bigger win in the long term. But wow, I believe that that was the most points ever scored on Neb., and we won the Big 12 that year, so I don’t know, that was a pretty big win. #2 was also big, securing our first trip to the Orange Bowl, where we probably should have won our first national championship.

I vaguely remember that ’96 K-State game. It was deathly cold, but we were drunk and somebody snuck in a rubbermaid container with rum to keep the party going.

Yes, you are right about the ’91 game. There was lots of snow. It was that snow that CU students molded into balls and threw on the field at the Huskers as they made a late attempt to win the game. I remember it all too well. That’s the day I realized CU students would rather have a tie than to let a kicker have an honest chance at the win. Go ahead folks, look it up. That’s exactly what happened.

I know in the long run it didn’t lead to anything due to the recruiting scandal, but how are you forgetting the 62-36 game in 2001? How many times as CU beaten the #1 overall team at home?

For some strange reason I opted not to wear my shirt to that 1996 K-State game. Somebody has a photo of that out there somewhere.

I love the 1996 K-State game. That might have been the coldest game ever. There was a major snowstorm and arctic blast that blew through town on Thursday, Friday and into Saturday. The defenses were stout all game and CU played true frosh Damen Wheeler on KSU speedster Kevin Lockett along with Chris Canty, the two way corner who would get drafted really high by the Pats. Wheeler shut them both down and had two picks in the game, including one he almost ran back for the touchdown. Can someone please stand up and say Ryan Olson on his huge fourth down sack late in the second half in the red zone?

If I remember the 91 Nebraska game correctly, not only was it cold, but there was so much snow in the stands that they couldn’t clear it. You had to make little footholds just to get to you seats. I think that game also had Mitch Berger kicking line drive field goals. There was one that had absolutely no arc whatsoever. Man, those were good times!

Curtis is right, it was the 1991 game that was frigid. I remember the sideline reporter holding up the thermometer that read -15 degrees. The wind was blowing as well, so it was even colder than that. I was freezing at that game, but the 1996 K-State game may have been worse since it was so wet. That was the definition of chilled to the bone.

Actually, 1991 was the arctic cold game that ended in a tie, 19-19; that was the Saturday night affair on ESPN when Jeff Brunner blocked a PAT that Greg Biekert ran all the way back for two points. The 1989 game was a 27-21 CU win on Nov. 4, a beautiful autumn day in Folsom. It was about 55-58 degrees at kickoff.
