OU played NU tough. I felt badly for Gary Gibbs. I thought he was good guy and a good coach. He just didn't have Barry's flair That helps in recruiting.
Osborne watched Gibbs fail, then still decided, three years later, that the best thing he could do would be to name the Loyal Assistant as his successor.
Solich’s 1999 Cornhuskers were probably the best team in the country by season’s end. They finished 12-1 and Number 2 in the country. If there had been a college football playoff in 1999, Nebraska would have definitely played for a National Title.
@cedriclovesaaron - I agree that he failed to retain Switzer's successes but that wasn't my point. He should have been allowed to leave with grace - not with the wrath of the Sooner Nation breathing down him. It was sad. He did nothing to deserve that. This wasn't a Gary Barnett situation.
@AKINZJ1... Yea and he's one of the few coaches to win 3 championships and four years... With one of the winniest coaches records winning 9+ every year... So hursh.
@AUgrad00 thats the nature of the beast. How would u know anyway what happened what went on at Okla ? Ur an Auburn grad in 2000. He won 2 games in 5 years vs Texas, Neb, and Colorado. I agree about the fans as I said earlier. Why don't you go flap your gums to those who did that shit? Like that doesn't go on in Alabama. Please!
@cedriclovesaaron Disagree your pretty much a loser if you pull some stunt like putting signs in a coaches front yard. Honestly anyone who does that crap needs to get a life.
I was at this game with a friend of mine. We were 16 yrs old..Oh how time flys!!
My first Oklahoma Game

Solich didn't inherit a program on probation. Nebraska just couldn't keep up with OU and texas in the Big 12 when they both got good.

Why was Nebraska passing the ball with 20 seconds left and the lead?
Because Osborne was desperate to try and cover up the fact that Penn State was way better than this Husker team. Unfortunately, the media bought in.
Practice in a game situation against a good team.
It must be the weather and fatigue that cause this game to be identical to the 2012 Nebraska versus Iowa game.

I thought Garry Gibbs was a good coach and that was before the bad years
Had he inherited the program under better circumstances he would probably have been more successful i.e. Lincoln Riley after Stoops retired.
John Blake was much worse than Gibbs
Brook didnt look very good in this game
Brook Berringer :(

Devin Banks spell check
Who won that game? Oh, yeah. Never mind.

Man....I didnt realize how much OU gave a fight in this game! Go Pokes!!
@trendon R.I.P Brook
class had nothing to do with it. he sucked as head coach! I agree about fans but man. how could someone ditch the wishbone for this crap?

And Nebraska sucks now......and will forever.
Nothing is forever.
Asta Wands lol
@@Northstadiumhusker than name rhe huskers nothing.......

Never say never. They said the same thing about Oklahoma being dead in the 90s, and then they came back.
