The Canon of Nebraska Football

On 23 October 1999, Nebraska lost a football game (in Austin). Illinois won a football game on the same day (in Ann Arbor).
My friend Mara, a woman generally crazed about Nebraska football (and I mean that in a nice way), asked me when the last time that happened was. Being the fan of arcane things that I am, I actually tried to find out.
I knew that Illinois only won 3 games in 1998, and a quick check showed that Nebraska did not lose on those days. The Fighting Illini were 0-11 in 1997 (I saw two of those sorrowful games, including a 48-3 shellacking for Homecoming), so that was out. In 1996, my last semester in Urbana-land, Illinois went 2-9. I know this because I picked them to go 2-9 at the beginnig of the season; I only neglected to say that the win over Indiana would be in double overtime. So my search focused on those two dates in September 1996, the win over Akron and the win over Indiana. I figured that the Akron game, the season's third, was on September 21, which means the Indiana game was on September 28 (the next week). I searched my house frantically for some evidence of when those games were, because I knew Nebraska had suffered a 19-0 loss at Arizona State that month as well. Finally I found my ESPN Year In Sports magazine from 1996. It said that Nebraska's loss was on 21 September. So that was the answer to Mara's question, as far as I could tell: 21 September 1996.
Not being satisfied, though, I tried contacting the Assistant AD for Communications at both schools. I got no response from Dave Johnson at UIUC, but Chris Anderson at UNL was tremendously helpful. I spent over eight hours the following weekend working with the file she sent me, which was the results of every football game Nebraska played from 1890-1998. I decided to post the results on my Web site, and I didn't want to simply post the text file, since it was ugly. Instead, I cleaned it up a lot, even going so far as to color each game based on the result. I also added the 1999 games, week-by-week. She (Ms. Anderson from Nebraska) said I could post the results as long as I got them myself. I finally put them on my own Web site after the 1999 Nebraska-Colorado game.

The table below lists all the Nebraska football games in order, from 1890 to the present, or at least as present as the last time it was updated. I used scarlet for wins and cream for losses. If the colors don't look right, don't blame me; the tags are <font color=scarlet> and <font color=cream>.

Notes: On the Associated Press Poll: The rankings indicated in all instances below are those at the time of the game, with Nebraska's rank, followed by the opponent's. Early-season games from 1936-49 have no rankings listed because the first polls in those seasons were not taken until after the season began. From 1936-60 and 1968-88, AP ranked the top 20 teams, from 1961-67 the top 10, and since 1989, the top 25. The source for the weekly rankings from Oct. 19, 1936, through Jan. 3, 1984, is Football Rankings, College teams in the Associated Press Poll, 1936-1984, compiled by Lowell R. Greunke (Jefferson, N.C.; McFarland & Co., Inc., 1984)
