Let's stay on track here. We were talking about the Huskers beating on Tennessee en route to yet another title, not the speed bump that was 2004 (and what a glorious year it was).
You said it correct. "here". As in the here and now. The present!! It bothers me to see so many still living in the past. It's kinda like those lingering Miami and San Fran fans talking about how it used to be, and how great it was, ya know what I mean

Well I can see this isn't going away until they meet again! lol
They won't be down long, so enjoy it while you can! Their recruiting class is dynamite so far, something they never have.
By the time the Huskers visit USC in '06, they'll be back in the top five.
By the time they host USC in '07, they'll be back on top.
I am going to be enjoying it for a long time to come!!! 1st, the Vols lead the nation currently, #1, as far as recruiting class goes. Here is the proof...
They have 7 commits in the nations top 100, two 5-stars, ten 4-stars, and eight 3-stars. They are followed up by Michigan, then Oklahoma. I had to scroll down the list to find USC at #9, followed by Nebraska at #10. But, I will give you props. #10 is not all that bad. Pretty decent!! The biggest surprise was Arizona at #8. UM, NOT ASU.....U of A!!! ASU did not make the top 25. Out of the big 4 conferences, SEC had 5 schools in the top 25, and the big 10(11), big 12, and Pac 10 all had 4 schools each in the top 25. Another surprise to me and one I love seeing is Florida was NOT in the top 25. An SEC surprise was South Carolina, but Spurrier is getting alot of attention and recruits.
Thanks for making me look up that link, Section 11. Go look at it, you'll see some surprises I'm sure, and the link is up to date as of 2 days ago....
BTW, I look very forward to a Vol Husker re-union....
And, if you clink that link, this is a taste of what you'll see....

After 22 consecutive years of leading the nation in average home attendance, Michigan lost its claim as the largest college-owned football stadium in the country in 1996 when the University of Tennessee expanded Neyland Stadium's capacity to 102,544. In 1997 the Volunteers averaged 106,538 fans per game while the Wolverines could only pack 106,448 into Michigan Stadium. With seven home games on the schedule, however, Michigan did retain the total home attendance title.
But, you can easily tell by the design of the 2 stadiums that UT is much MUCH louder.
A close 3rd is Columbus at 101, 568.
A sharp drop off in Lincoln at 74,031. Sorry, Section 11
And here is the main link to look up any stadium....
While The Big House holds 107,501. Yes, I would call that "difference" tiny.
According to the link you provided, Michigan averaged nearly 111,000 per game in 2003. I guess we'll have something to banter about after the Vols pass Penn State on the list.

I never clicked on the attendance link in there, but I see what you're talking about....
It's quality not quantity that matters
PSU wound up being a sickly 4-7 and 2-6 in the conference. Not much for the home crowd to cheer about.....
While UM ended at 9-3 while losing to TX, UT finished at 10-3 while thumping A&M. That game was supposed to feature UT vs UT. Vols and Horns. But yet again another BSS screwup.
Oh and 2 of UT's losses came against Auburn, but I don't recall too many people beating them up this year....
When will the Big 10 finally get with the program, and add a conference championship??? I really would like to see ND join the conference and see 'em split into 2 divisions and have a championship...JMO
I can sit back and take Sec 11's arse whoopin's. Huskers handed the Vols their arse. And, like he said....till the next time we meet!!
But not from a Wolverine
Jan 1st, 2002 Citrus Bowl. VOLS 45 - WOLVERINES 17
Quote:
While Tennessee just missed playing in the Rose Bowl, the Vols' offense put on a national championship level performance in the Citrus Bowl. Casey Clausen, nicknamed "Iceman," threw for 393 yards and three TDs and ran for two more as the Vols routed Michigan 45-10 to hand the Wolverines their worst bowl loss since 1992
