Memorial Stadium Turf
(Most are custom made plaques, unique one of a kind items)

updated 11/17/2007

This first scan was submitted by James and Kathy Montreuil. 
The plate reads:  "A part of NU History From Memorial Stadium. Actual playing surface from the Greatest Era in Cornhusker Football History, 1970-1976.  Home field of '70-'71 National Champions, including the Greatest Team Ever Assembled, 
1971's 13-0-0 BIG RED MACHINE!" 
(Of course, that was written in 1976, long before the "Decade of Dominance")
I took this scan from an eBay auction.  Again, it is from the 70-76 stadium turf, as indicated on the patch.  

 

Lamont Lyon sent this pic of his '70-'76 turf plaque.  Variation of the top one, but with the shape of Nebraska.  Very attractive mounting on this one.

Double dose of turf: 1970-76 and 1992-98.
This tandem represents two of the most dominant periods of Husker Football, spanning both Devaney and Osborne eras:
40-5 (70-76) and 44-1 (92-98)!

Arnold Remington sent this pic of his 1970-'76 turf door mat cut in the shape of the state. Very nice!

Thanks again, Lamont!
