Watching the 1995 Nat Championship Game on the BTN. I kind of forgot that today is the first actual day of membership.
 
I watched the Nebraska/Miami game as well. Great collection of talent on both sides.

Fun to see "The Rock" out there for a few plays. As profiled in "The U" documentary, Erickson had no control over his players.

Interesting to watch Phillips running the ball right at Ray Lewis. Two guys who were great players who were out of control in their young NFL days. One went on to become one of the greatest LBs ever, the other well, is Phillips still alive?
 
Those Nebraska documentaries were fun to watch and relive that era of CFB but those people sure know how to do propaganda right. Tom Osborne quoting his team a bible verse before that '95 championship when he had the biggest collection of criminals outside of Miami playing for him - WTF? Christian Peters was gold in those videos but the fact Bob Kraft's wife refused to let him on the Patriots after they drafted him says it all about the guy :)
 
I despise UNL but it was nice to see Brook Berringer in that 95 Orange Bowl. That kid's story was so great and it was a shame to see him go so young.
 
Old Nebraska teams on "Big Ten's Greatest Games." Nice--wonder what Dan Beebe thinks of that.
 
In my view, the B10 should not be able to capitalize on stuff they did before they joined. But who's going to stop them? Previous team and player awards should not be added to B10 stats, either.
