[NU Sports] I hate Hawaii

[Joe Thiegs]

Yeah, that was my sophomore year, and I remember playing the transitive
property game to prove that we should have been national champions:

 

NU beat BC (woo-hoo!)

BC beat ND (ending the regular season in a shocker won 41-39 on BC's
last-second field goal)

ND beat FSU (31-24 in Week 10 -- #2 vs. #1 in "the Game of the Century")

FSU won the national championship--Bobby Bowden's first--after edging
Nebraska 18-16 in the Orange Bowl)

Therefore, NU deserved the national championship (never mind that ND beat
NU....)  :)

 

-Joe

That was 1993, but the Cats were 2-3 going into the Minnesota game.  That

was a year of tough breaks--we also lost close games to Michigan State and

Iowa.

 

The '93 win over BC was nice, however.  After their loss to us, BC went on

an 8-game win streak, culminating with their 41-39 defeat of Notre Dame

which kept the Irish from a National Championship.

Does anyone remember the year I believe that NU lost to ND 27-12 and they  

were like 3-2 going into the Minnesota game and Sam Valensizi hit a game

winning 

 field goal and the refs said the snap took place after the whistle and they

 

lost. Cant remember the year, I wanna say it was the year we beat Boston  

College. You know the Lenny Williams to Lee Gissendaner  days.
