1996 Nebraska vs Florida Fiesta Bowl ESPN Postgame

[@thekansasjayhawk3504]

95 Neb... without a doubt, the best college football team in history. 🙌

People don't realize how much domination Nebraska had. They weren't even running first string for awhile. Just giving secondary players time in the championship with all the confidence in the world.

[@prism8289]

But Osborne NEVER gave up on him. He always stayed in contact, writing him, and even visiting him in prison in LA. Phillips was trying to change his life around in prison, but gangs in prison would not let him have it. Osborne had written him a letter the last week of his life, but the prison guards would not give it to him and he never got it.

Osborne never gave up on Phillips, as he doesn’t on any of his players. Few other coaches can say that. When other players had hard times after football, and some went to jail, it was osborne there meeting them to pick them up. The legacy is secure.

[@robjohnson8861]

We will always be around to keep you in check. 1995 was an ABSOLUTE JOKE. Sept 2019. Neb95 was #4 in ESPNs top 150 teams of all time (by 150 contributors). LSU 2019 will easily be #1, pushing Neb95 to #5. Neb95 beat teams 8 reg season teams with 8 8 8 8 8 5 5 5 = 55 losses. The other 3 reg season wins against * a 1st yr EVER coach with 56-54 record over 75% of his career. * a coach that retired 5-36 against top 10 teams * a coach that retired 123-121 and was 6-5 in 94 and 4-7 in 96. And get this (just calculated today 1.15.2020). In their 92 prior seasons, CO finished in the top 10, 5 times. their 93 prior seasons, KS finished in the top 10, 1 time. their 83 prior seasons, KSU finished in the top 10, 0 times. Only KSU appeared to be turning the corner. CO and KS have been almost as dismal as they were prior to 95. So, in a combined 268 seasons with only 6 top 10 finishes, what is the probability that all 3 would finish in the top 10 in 95? Yeah, unbelievably tiny. 1995 was a FREAKING FLUKE YEAR. The country as a whole reeked and the Big Easy benefited.

[@robjohnson8861]

You have seen me all over this Neb threads. I swear I had no clue where my calculations would lead me, but it is unbelievable how everything points to 95 being a complete joke. I predict when somebody keys all of the numbers into an artificial intelligence algorithm and it weights all the stats, Neb95 won't be in the top 10 greatest.
