1982 Nebraska at Beaver Stadium. There have been a lot of great games, that we enjoy, mentioned above yet the 82 Nebraska game was a stunning finish and you had to be there. Rewatching on TV doesn't capture the emotion of the fans that evening.
PSU had not yet been awarded a MNC to that time, in the modern era, should have multiple times and the frustration was growing as was the anxiety. It was a different time tough to express to a later generation. Being snubbed so many times in close succession creates a frustration not grasped by those who haven't lived it. In any event, standing on the bleacher seats in front of us, a first, and a stadium wide wave of it while the crowd that day willed the team down the field. I stumble trying to express it vividly enough to allow a grasp of what the buzz all game was as was the penultimate final drive. A student from North Halls shouted at us "you have a blue car" in the euphoria following the victory. I haven't ever experienced a game like it, ever. Yet, I enjoy every win, the last play win at Iowa- what a drive and the whole 2005 OSU game with our entire family and so many more.
