The greatest regular-season college football game ever played was forty years ago today on November 25, 1971.
This Thanksgiving day saw a 5-year-old boy rooting for Nebraska's scarlet and cream over Oklahoma's crimson and red - just because red was his favorite color.
10 years later as a sophomore in HS, I rediscovered the Huskers for more substantive reasons.
November 25 was also my late maternal grandmother's birthday. One of my first memories.
Now I just want them to beat Iowa.

I remember the Iowa-Nebraska game from 1979 or 1980 when the Hawkeyes upset the Huskers 10-7 and then beat UCLA 20-7. It was shortly after Hayden Fry took over as head coach
