"There are a personalities from that era: the consummate winner Tommie Frazier, the beloved backup Brook Berringer, the passionate leadership of Grant Wistrom and Jason Peter, the hard-working in-state walk ons, the list goes on. And never forget legendary coach Tom Osborne transforming from the guy who couldn't win the big one to one of the greatest coaches in college football history."

any pub is good pub, you have to be in the news to get noticed, kids don't care about what ESPN says, they won't consider NU if they never hear of them. Of course a nice write up is what we all want, but the only way to fix this is to start winning again, GO BIG RED!!!

Jeff Barker

Im 50/50 on the subject... and only voted yes because ME as a fan would love to watch this episode. But I never trust ESPN when it comes to Nebraska. They have always found ways to screw us, talk bad about us, etc.. I feel like they will bring up more negatives then positives.

Peter Campbell

There is nothing ESPN can dredge up that isn't already known by people who still care enough about college football. It will show a program that was once not only relevant, but elite. Any team worth its salt for as long as ours was is bound to have some skeletons. We were STILL the best ever!

All publicity is good

Terry M Young

A lot of great storylines to go along with a summary of just how dominant the '95 team was.

Rick Klatt

I'm usually not on the fence when it comes to my opinions but I find myself looking for the not sure button. I hope that the production keeps everything in perspective when it comes to the great things NU was able to accomplish as well as those things that we're not so proud of.

Joshua Howard

It has the potential to air some bad laundry but I think that would be good for the program.

John Grabouski

The proof will be in the pudding. Ask this same question a year after it premieres. It is history...a history we are proud of....overall. Yes, their are some skeletons in the closet. A lot of kids gave their all.....yes, including LP. The story should be told. Objective?..I havent said that.

Jerry Williams

Everyone knows that bad, it was a long time ago and what was was. It will also show a great team.

"Nebraska 30 for 30 will likely focus on the things that darken that period. Lawrence Phillips. Christian Peter. Tyrone Williams. Riley Washington. The tension between Tommie and Brook. Tom Osborne becoming a "win at all costs" coach. CBS reporter Bernard Goldberg. Scott Frost campaigning for a title after Osborne's retirement. Where Scott Frost was rumored to be the night Phillips was arrested. The decline of the program after Osborne left. Who knows what other skeletons and whispered rumors may come to life that would cast a permanent shadow over an era that Nebraska fans consider sacred?" Show Less

Don't trust ESPN when it comes to the Huskers

I don't think it will be a focus on the team. I think it is an excuse to document Lawrence Phillips issues. I don't believe they will focus on the team effort.

Justin Carper

There is no way a rah-rah Nebraska piece is interesting to the general ESPN audience. They'll go negative to get ratings.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
