[Husker] Nebraska vs U-Dub

[Mark J Norris]

I kind of like to renew certain rivalries between teams that have had 
a home/home series history with each other and have had a long 
tradition of excellence. For instance our recent history with U-Dub:

'98   #9  UW-7  @ #2 NU-55
'97   #7  NU-27 @ #2 UW-14
'92   #12 NU-14 @ #2 UW-29
'91   #4  UW-36 @ #9 NU-21

I hope U-Dub will improve from their recent 2-9 record.

Or how about the UCLA series

'94 #13 UCLA-21 @ #2 NU-49
'93 #8  NU-14   @ #x UCLA-13
'88 #2  NU-28   @ #5 UCLA-41 (Troy Aikman)
'87 #3  UCLA-33 @ #2 NU-42
'84 #1  NU-42   @ #8 UCLA-3
'83 #x  UCLA-10 @ #1 NU-42

We would also have to put Penn State right up there:

'03 #x  PSU-10 @ #18 NU-18
'02 #8  NU-7   @ #x  PSU-40
'83 #4  PSU-6 vs* #1 NU-44
'82 #2  NU-24  @ #8  PSU-27
'81 #3  PSU-30 @ #14 NU-24
'80 #3  NU-21  @ #11 PSU-7
'79 #18 PSU-17 @ #6  NU-42

Our history with Alabama, LSU, Miami have mostly been in Bowl games, 
as have been our series with Free Shoes University - but that is one 
heck of a series:

'94  #1  FSU-18 vs*  #2  NU-16
'93  #3  FSU-27 vs*  #11 NU-14
'90  #5  FSU-41 vs** #6  NU-17
'88  #3  FSU-31 vs** #5  NU-28
'86  #11 FSU-17 @ #8  NU-34
'85  #17 FSU-17 @ #10 NU-13
'81  #19 FSU-14 @ #17 NU-34
'80  #16 FSU-18 @ #3  NU-14
* Orange Bowl 
** Fiesta Bowl 

Besides those schools I wonder who NU would consider non-conference 
rivals.

I like those. We've played ASU, Cal, and W. Va as recently as the
mid-90s, so I'm not too keen on seeing those again as compared to the
others.
