Sadly I was at this game as well, but even sadder is that wasn't the worst road game I've traveled to. Went to the Colorado game when we were trying to get bowl eligible when Arnaud was QB. Colorado was a bad team and they ran us off the field that day
Wait a minute... are you saying that in this universe... <checks wikipedia> .... NOOOO!!
He blocked an XP and a field goal. Very strange game. Strangest play of all was that Niles Paul fumble. Happened in the endzone right in front of me. I still don't know how he dropped that ball.
He kicked the ball out of his own hands when he looked back to see if a DB was going to catch up to him. Hillarious
My girlfriend at the time, now wife really had to talk me into going to this game. Good job outta her! Eventually got CPR to sign my ticket stub.
Memorable deal in the game was when ISU got pinned inside the 5 with about 10 minutes left. I thought that they would get stuffed there, punt, and Nebraska would finally break through with good field position. The nut kick was about to come. What happened was something like a 7 minute drive that amassed a whooping 38 yards or whatever, resulting in a punt that flipped the field. Nebraska was feeling the crunch of the clock after that and the rest is history. Probably one of the most relieving wins ever since it was such a grind of a game.
NU had a sick defense in 2009.

EDIT: I guess I should have read the rest of the thread before posting...
That there is a lot of corn fed beef.
On October 24, 2016, the football gods were feeling particular lazy. They sent one of their newest underlings, Carl, to Lincoln that day to execute the normal "screw ISU" orders. But instead, somehow, Carl got everything screwed up.
"Do you know how many times I had to drop bad karma on Nebraska to keep them from winning?!?" Carl asked.
"Carl, you idiot . . . " the football gods replied. "Well ... [sigh] ... now we're going to have to screw over ISU for like the next 7 years to make up for this."

I was talking to a Nebraska fan some time after the game, probably a few months afterwards, but he thought Tim Tebow was the quarterback for Texas instead of Colt McCoy.
We took the train to that game with the gridiron club. Best thing about that trip was that was the first time I had ever ridden on a train.
I was a junior when we beat Nebraska in the Marv Seiler game, so don't worry, it gets worse.
