Historical Husker Media

"He knows the history and the contents of the broadcasts like some people know scripture."  - Lincoln Journal-Star August 25, 2002

WELCOME TO MY SPORTS MEDIA PAGE WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS! As time permits, I am converting my library to a digital format.

Due to copy right laws, my recordings are not for sale. I respectfully decline to answer emails asking for a "price".

This page exists so I can pursue my hobby of collecting sports media and promote  the HISTORY & TRADITION OF CORNHUSKER FOOTBALL!

SPECIAL OFFER: 

$$$ Cash paid $$$ for old VHS/Beta/film/cassette/reel-to-reel home recordings of Nebraska games I don't have. If possible, I can convert obsolete formats to  digital format.  I'm looking for original broadcasts as seen or heard on day of the event. Original recordings preferred. Depending on quality, dubs would be considered. Depending on the year, Nebraska basketball games and other sporting events also considered. EXAMPLE: If your old uncle lived in Lincoln and recorded every Nebraska game since he was 10-years old...or, your retired grandfather worked at a TV station, or radio station and saved those clunky tape reels and they are taking up space, e-mail me and turn the tapes into $$$ Cash $$$ 
 

Commentary: Unless it is for something extremely rare, I regret I will no longer offer my film/radio audio projects for trade. It seems these are ending up for sale on online auction sites and for sale  on other video sites. These productions are a "labor of love" for me. But, they take up 20 hours of computer time to assemble.  I don't sell them because I don't own the copy rights.  I'm quite certain the people profiting from my work, don't own the copy rights either!

JUST COMPLETED: 

1969 NEBRASKA vs OKLAHOMA 

 BOB DEVANEY'S 1ST WIN IN THE NORMAN "SNAKE PIT"

Finally! One of the few days it all comes together for the Cornhuskers vs Oklahoma. Game film combined with Oklahoma radio. I'm estimating that 60% of this game is color film. In fact, the entire 2nd half is color. The Sun Bowl-bound Cornhuskers finally explode against Oklahoma.  Steve Owens has a 17-game 100-yd/game streak snapped against the Black Shirts. This game runs about 2 hours 39 minutes on 3 discs.

 1974 COTTON BOWL:

NEBRASKA vs TEXAS

    TOM OSBORNE'S 1ST BOWL GAME

A nice quality color film combined with CBS network radio. Tom Osborne's caps his rookie season, as the Cornhuskers dominate the Longhorns 19-3.

This game is pretty complete. There are a few Texas offensive plays missing. (It was pointed out to me, Texas' offense didn't show up that day anyway.) Run time is about 2 hours 10 minutes. Notables include: Darrell Royal, Roosevelt Leaks, Glen Gaspard, John Dutton and MVP, Tony Davis.  

             1970 NEBRASKA vs OKLAHOMA
