An anxious #Cornhusker crowd awaited in Lincoln. Both weather and field conditions were perfect on Saturday, October 18, 1913. Before a crowd of 9,000, the game kicked off around 2:45 PM and the #Gophers launched an immediate attack which stalled on the #Nebraska 5 for a turnover on downs.

Another dapper gentlemen, "King" Cole in his days playing for Fielding Yost at the University of Michigan

Over at #Nebraska, in 1911 the Missouri Valley Conference implemented a new rule that coaches had to be full-time faculty members at their institution. #Cornhusker coach W.C. “King” Cole was in private legal practice and was unwilling to give that up, and thus resigned.

2013 Nebraska Football Depth Chart - Defense Bo Pelini won’t release a depth chart until the start of the season, and even then they’ll have to force it out of him. That doesn’t stop us from speculation. This is our first attempt at the defensiv...

Roster-wise, Nebraska featured more and better recruiting. QB Taylor Martinez, RB Ameer Abdullah, WRs Enunwa, Bell, and Turner. The #Cornhusker defense, on the other hand, had talent but was young. There was much pre-season discussion about the defensive installation by Pelini.

A Sports Illustrated cover from August, 2011 with the title "Nebraska: The Big Ten's New Bully"

But a conference title, much less a National Championship, eluded Pelini and after 6 seasons there were rumblings that the #Cornhusker faithful, and particularly the donors, were increasingly unsatisfied.

The Big Ten's New Bully moniker had not panned out yet.

Coach Bernie Masterson

Coach George Clark

Bill Glassford in his playing days for Nebraska

In #Nebraska, the immediate post-war years had been troublesome. After 3 coaches in 4 wartime seasons, former coach Biff Jones stayed at West Point. From 1946, former #Cornhusker Bernie Masterson coached 2 seasons, George Clark returned for 1, and then Bill Glassford took over in 1949.

Gopher QB Silovich also played defense, in this case preventing a long Nebraska gain, instead causing an incomplete pass.

After more impotent back and forth, a 65-yard #Cornhusker punt to the 1-foot line put Minnesota in its worst field position of the game.

#Gopher punter Bob Sandberg attempted to punt from the end zone but was blocked by Ed Nyden. The ball bounced out of the end zone for the 2nd Safety of the game.

Their replacements were assistants who knew their institutions well.

Glenn Presnell was a Nebraska native, former #Cornhusker halfback, and and had been on staff at Nebraska for 2 seasons.

Hauser played offensive tackle for the #Gophers and had been an assistant there for a decade.

#Nebraska, the #Cornhusker State, admitted in 1867 as the 37th state. Here’s a quick look at its flag, capital, tree, bird, motto & more. 1 minute video in reply.

It would be another 20 years on the lowest of the low in 1983 before #Gopher fortunes truly began to turn, on October 26, 2013. But that's a story for another day.

Have fun out there today #Cornhusker and #Gopher fans!

Program from the 1963 Minnesota Vikings vs. San Francisco 49ers game

Rail was still the primary mode of long-distance transportation in 1963, and a contingent of 400 #Cornhusker faithful made the trip from Omaha. The official visiting group stuck around for the Sunday NFL matchup between the new Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers.

Patriotism isn’t blind obedience. It’s loving your state enough to defend it from corruption and cruelty.

#Trump sports team name update: in addition to Washington and Cleveland, he is now requiring Univ of Nebraska to switch from #Cornhusker back to their original name, #Bugeaters. If they don’t, he promises to remove funding like he did to Harvard

Fresh delicate green/yellow/white corn husks on green tablecloth in the yard. They are looking okay here minutes after shucking, but these guys all shriveled into nothing about an hour later. There is a trick to keeping corn husks for tamales. I don’t know what it is yet
