Nebraska Plays Football in Gotham?

Did you know in 1962, Nebraska played in the Gotham Bowl? Its true! Yes, Tracie! Another reason you should like football.

Playing under Coach Bob Devaney, Nebraska won its first bowl game in 3 tries, upsetting Miami & Coach George Mira.

Nebraska 36
Miami 34

In the second and last of New York's now-defunct Gotham Bowl. Playing in Yankee Stadium before only 6,166 fans in freezing weather, the Huskers and Hurricanes put on one of the greatest bowl shows ever, trading scores in every quarter.

If you look in the now classic photo below, you can see Batman and Robin up holding the Nebraska Black Shirt tradition and backing the defense! Go Big Red!

    You guys got lucky... I mean how fair is to have a team from the midwest play the most (geographically) southern team possible in a snow filled stadium.
