| GREAT HUSKER GAMES Sharkfeet Husker history has compiled 20 of the greatest Nebraska Cornhusker football games of all time. Some made the list because of the importance of the game or it had some signifigance be it a national championship, conference title, or a team,coach,or player milestone, and some were added just because they were great games to watch.You probably have your own favorite Husker contest, and some will disagree with the order and so forth.I don't care, I am right and you are wrong. But seriously if you have a game in mind that didnt make it, or any other comments e-mail them to me and I will post your thoughts on the bottom of this page. |
