[Husker] Historical Loss - When was last time A&M Beat Huskers inLincoln?

Colorado and Kansas St will try to bury Nebraska I am sure. I would expect them to run it up quite a bit just to embarrass the Huskers.

A&M has played in Lincoln 6 times.

 

Last time the Aggies won was 1955.

 

Bear Bryant was Head Coach.  Aggies were the SWC Champions known as "the
Junction Boys".  Gene Stalling and Jack Pardee were assistants.  That team
turned A&M fortunes around.  Next year they recruited Heisman trophy winner
John David Crow.

 

Fast forward.  2007: A&M limps into Lincoln, in the middle of a pathetic
season with their coach on the ropes, after being spanked by mediocre a
Texas Tech team that held there anemic offense to 7 points (Tech's defensive
coordinator was recently fired due to inept defense so the Tech'sters don't
have the greatest defense meaning A&M's offense in incredibly weak).  The
Aggies, however, hang 36 on the black shirts.

 

I'd say Husker football has hit bottom rock bottom - if not for Wake's QB
being hurt and dumb luck against Ball St. we would have two wins for the
year against powerhouses Nevada and Iowa St.  We are now looking at
spankings by Texas, Kansas, K St, and Colo (amazing to think).  We are truly
reaping what was sown when threw out the tradition and the proven ones.
Next time what we are thinking about doing lines up with the internet
knucklehead zeitgeist and Journal-Star/OWH editorial writers we should slap
ourselves and think again.

 

Now were the ones hoping to "wake up the echo's" of a by gone era.  I do not
believe that 85 scholarship limit means a great program can't dominate.
Sticking to Heritage Husker values and strategies was never in vogue.  Just
fundamentally sound and, in today's world, unique enough to set us apart.
Key world here is unique - different enough to give us an unconventional,
competitive advantage.

 

True analogy.  Twenty year ago, all the big oil companies decided the
chemical business was moribund and they decided to sell off their chemical
units. Many sold off refining and focused on upstream only.  One company's
CEO could see how selling off the chemicals businesses made them better.  He
felt like if done right integrating refining and chemicals to get every last
bit of value made more sense.  It just took a lot of work by management to
make sure the businesses operated as one optimized whole.  This company is
absolutely the most consistent earner of all the oils and its stock sells at
a significant P/E premium.  Because one hard headed group of guys decided
the current in thing really didn't make fundamental sense.  Of course they
were told they were out of date.  But they were a bunch of inbreds and
thought for themselves.  This same pattern has played out over on over
again.  Fundamentals do win over time.
