I just youtubed the game and re-watched it: I had forgotten how physical Miami was that night on defense and how hard their backs ran, especially Albert Bentley. You don't watch that game and come away thinking that Nebraska got out-finessed and for a while was getting their asses kicked - Miami was up 31-17 in the 4th Q. The Hurricanes were stout on D and were getting into their backfield and hitting Turner Gill and their running backs hard. I don't think Nebraska had faced that kind of pursuit all season outside of Oklahoma and put the ball on the ground 6 times and were lucky to only lose one. And of course hadn't seen anything like that passing game all year.
I still have that Sports Illustrated issue. I might frame it now.

That’s sounds like a brutal experience but not surprising you remember the game. Divorce sucks and our kids get the brunt of the blow back.

One of the Throbbers two dads was a massive Nebraska fan. Can remember one Nebraska/Oklahoma game where my mom was puttering around outside, slipped and fell and knocked her head pretty hard.
Pa Throbber made her wait until the end of the game before going to the ER where it was learned she had a concussion.

She hated football.

oh, she wasn't melting over the game? because while you're mother was having a meltdown, 3,000+ miles away in Miamuh, much younger creep was having his own meltdown, but the good kind, over the actual game.

Both my mom and horrible stepmom both started their relationships with my dad pretending to like football. My stepmom worked hard on my dad from about 2000-2019 to give up his Husky tickets.

maybe your mom was a cuog fan disguised as a non-fan trying to sabotage DWAG!?!?!
anyway, I’m taking your story and saying Mom was losing her shit over excite for the Canes. I mean, who wouldn’t? -
My mom, that's who
