In 1990, the game was played three weeks before Thanksgiving. I find it discouraging that the classiest fans in college football allowed the sign to stay up for so long.

I heard an account where a NU fan had that slogan on a sign at a CU/NU basketball game in boulder. Dave Logan saw the sign and had the fan stop showing it (or ripped it out of his hands). Sounds crazy, but I heard of this account many years ago. Does anyone else recall hearing this?
I also recently saw an NU fan on twitter that had that slogan in a hashtag. Dumb$#!@

I recall it but thought that game was in Lincoln
Oh the hashtag has been on twitter repeatedly this week, but twitter is also where the mouthbreathers go. Hence @ahoelsken engaging with so many Huskers there.
I remember hearing about the sign that weekend in 1990, but don't recall actually seeing it.
Tequila.
Are you not in a place that has old midwestern people?
This is an interesting thread from that same site:
Sal
Lots of references to the old "Sal is Dead, Go Big Red" story these days. This is what I know: CU players and fans claimed there was a huge banner over I-80 that said SAL IS DEAD, GO BIG RED. Apparently, it was seen as the Colorado bus was heading to Lincoln for a football game. Almost...forum.huskermax.com
Thanks for the link. Those morons will never change.
@RuffBuff spread the word to the mouth breathers. Also ask them to provide first hand accounts of piss balloons/keyed cars/grannies etc
See, this is the thing I don't understand. People say TCU's defense sucks, they lost a lot of guys, they are slow, they can not tackle.
How? TCU lost a lot of their guys in offense but they return a lot of production in defense. Their front 3 is relatively new but massive (quite a few 300+ lbs explosive guys), both of their LBs played in 2022 and that Hodges guy is a stud. They have a day 1 draft CB (Josh Newton), and both safeties are returned from last year.
Why do people think Nebraska's LB and secondary is better than TCU?

Probably because TCU didn’t have a good defense last year. They were top 10 on offense but in the 90’s on D.
The banner was real. I saw it.
Yet, there are only 3 teams scored 40+ on them last year. Okst, UMich and Georgia.
Playing in big 12 will for sure give you worse D ranking than playing in big 10. Because big 10 offense sucks.
I am not saying they have an awesome D, I am just saying I don't see why corns would have better D than them.
I found that thread interesting.
Starts out with "That never happened, they're lying."
Then goes to "Well, it happened but not in the way they say it did."
Which transitions to "Actually, we did a lot of **** and at least I'm not proud of it."
Then finally "This is awkward, let's talk about how terrible CU fans are."

It's a continuation of the same narrative from last week that CU can't be that good.
They have a pre-conceived conclusion that CU is still not that good and to fit their conclusion they rationalize that TCU's defense was so bad that's the reason why CU was able to generate 500+ yards and 48 pts. They don't approach it the other way that CU's offense is so dynamic and powerful that despite TCU having a decent defense they were just so over powered that's the reason why CU was able to generate 500+ yards and 48 pts.
They're trying to fit a result with their preconceived narrative.

The Nebraska game plan and key to victory is to play a game in the 1990s.
TCU ran more blitzes and mixed coverages than Nebraska has in their playbook. When Nebraska tried to get complicated on Minnesota they had breakdowns. Unfortunately the Gophers stone age offense wasn't able to take advantage.
Every time you break from your standard defense and send an extra rusher or do multiple coverages you are leaving a gap where that guy came from. TCU found out quickly that Shedeur can read and find those gaps.
And passing towards the boundaries is simply ridiculous.
Sims has a strong arm but his accuracy is severely lacking. Passes to the boundary involve the ball being in the air a long time and hitting a smallish window. Sims throwing those balls is likely to end in TDs, for CU because our corners are more likely to come down with those balls than the WRs.
Didn’t even mention the batteries, grandmas, and piss balloons.This is an interesting thread from that same site:

It’s been less than a month since my last trip to CO, and I’m ready to be near, in, on some mountains. This clip didn’t help. Especially since Folsom and THE Flatirons are involved.
Yeah, these guys obviously have never been to Folsom and felt our full wrath.
Sorry if already posted. One of their starters on the d line is out for the 1st half of the game.
Ty Robinson out 1st half

Your apology is accepted
And yet they keep coming back. Makes you wonder.
may have been posted but Stephen A Smith, Shannon Sharpe both to be in attendance at the game
God dammit **** SAS.
That said, I hope that POS loves it and pumps CU hard going forward.
This doesn't work for every site, but quite a few. Just copy the URL, go to 12ft.io and it will remove the paywall.

And then there’s maybe the most famous story of the rivalry, the sign put on Interstate 80 between Boulder and Lincoln in 1990. In 1989, Colorado beat Nebraska 27-21 during an emotional season mourning the death of CU quarterback Sal Aunese. In 1990, a piece of graffiti hung above two lanes of I-80 the week of the Colorado game, reading: Sal is dead, Go Big Red.
Screamin' A has made a lot of money with his schtick but he isn't dumb and he is influential. If he gets on our bandwagon it will be a positive for the program no matter how obnoxious he is.
