National Thread - Open Game Thread

Gee, why does this picture garner so much attention? I don't know, but I do know that I'd like to see LSU beat Alabama today.

Gee, why does this picture garner so much attention? I don't know, but I do know that I'd like to see LSU beat Alabama today.

This is your thread for discussing today's game. Nebraska fans have quite a while before the big game tonight, so there's plenty of time to discuss today's games.


It's beautiful weather, ain't it? I suspect that many of us will be spending today getting ready for winter. I know I have some work to do outside, and I'm guessing you guys who drive combines are going to be in them most of the day or face losing crops.

Corn Flakes: OU is going down

You want a rivalry? Then it's time for NU to step it up and play like it.

Big Red Rivalry Advantages Favor OU - Crimson And Cream Machine
I think that Nebraska's offense will struggle considerably more that Oklahoma's. Not because one defense is better than the other but because the Huskers don't have as many playmakers on offense as OU.
You can head over the C&C to argue if you want.

Steven M. Sipple: NU needs to control line of scrimmage
If NU can then, and Sipple thinks they can, he has NU winning.

Sizing up the storylines: Oklahoma
Green, Suh, special teams, and swagger.

Omaha.com - The Omaha World-Herald: Big Red Today Blog - Sports Writers - Sooners are tough to sack
Even with their O-Line struggling.

Omaha.com - The Omaha World-Herald: Big Red Today - Three things to watch
Trick plays for NU, D-Line making big plays, and which Jones will show up?

Curt McKeever: NU has to worry about its own game
The reality is that even with a loss to Oklahoma, so long as Iowa State doesn’t win out (yes, you read that correctly), all the Huskers would have to do to win the North is defeat Kansas, Kansas State and Colorado.
So you know we have that going for us, which is nice.

Living life after the pose
The LJS talks with 6 Heisman Trophy winners, 3 from NU and OU each

Offense shines, defense doesn’t in exhibition win
a 86-66 win

What's going on? For the line to move this much there is a lot of money going NU's way. Who has information that they aren't sharing? Does the OU defense have the flu? Has Watson installed a super cool new offense?

College Football Predictions - Week 10

Lock your doors and windows people, OU is coming to town.

Land Thieves. That's what "Sooner" means. They steal land by getting there sooner than you. To commemorate this they decided to steal their fight song "Boomer Sooner" which is a version of  "Boola Boola" the fight song of Yale University.  As in my new car is a version of the one that you had stolen last week.

Move your wallets to your front pockets, don't answer emails from people claiming to be an Oklahoman Prince wanting to transfer money into your bank accounts, they don't need your Corn Nation user name and password for a site update, get a new bike lock, buy lowjack for your macbook, stop playing GTA, and for the love of TO someone tell our skill players that giving the OU defense the ball is not a kind gesture for friendly rival.

What a boring week again. We all tied, and were 50% against the spread, even with Corn Blight making picks based on mascots.

Nebraska and Oklahoma - Just Old Friends Getting Together Again.....

 
 
I was having lunch with my dear friend Nebraska this week when an "old friend" happened by......

Iconbarryswitzer_mediumHey, Nebraska! How you doing, sweetheart! You look great! As wonderful as ever!!! 

Iconhuskergirl_medium Barry! Oh, it's so good to see you! 

Iconbarryswitzer_medium I miss the times we had together. Wish we could see each other more often! (sees Tom Obsorne and quickly saunters off after him). Don't you ever change! (wink)

Iconcobby_medium That's a little disgusting.

Corn Flakes: Why should NU play OU every year?

Wow what a fun trip. I lost my luggage for a day and a half, and then the truck we took died on the interstate at 1:30 in the am. Anyway it seems I missed about a thousand memorial articles about OU and NU, and then ten thousand NU should play OU every year articles. So yeah nothing much. Also can everyone stop with the Suh is going too play QB jokes. It wasn't that funny to start with and now it's just old.

Life in the Red's Blog | Breakfast with Ted
So Gilmore gave opportunities to junior college transfer Brandon Kinnie and redshirt freshman Khiry Cooper. Those two, along with Paul and senior Chris Brooks (who's not played the last two weeks because of injury), will play the bulk, if not all, of the snaps against Oklahoma Saturday night.

Where have you gone Swift and Peterson?, Husker nation turns their lonely eyes to you...

Ten good minutes with Nebraska DT Jared Crick - Big 12 - ESPN
Crick is like Luigi to Suh's Mario. Suh get's all the attention, but Crick is a pretty good player 2.

Is Landry Jones The Best Quarterback In The Big 12?
I hope that I didn’t lose you at the headline but this is a legitimate question. When the post season awards are released next month you won’t see Landry Jones as the Big 12’s First Team All-Conference quarterback but the reality is that as of right now there may not be a more deserving signal caller in the conference.

Obviously C&C have not heard of a certain QB from Missouri. One that is better than Elway, and Young (Steve not Vince) combined.

It's coming people. Be prepared.

Tailback Darrell Scott -- considered the nation's No. 1 running back in the 2007 recruiting class -- announced he will transfer.

Q&A With An Oklahoma Sooner Expert

OU receiver Ryan Broyles is the Sooner's most dangerous playmaker. Shutting him down will be a key for the Huskers' Blackshirt defense.

by Sue Ogrocki - AP

OU receiver Ryan Broyles is the Sooner's most dangerous playmaker. Shutting him down will be a key for the Huskers' Blackshirt defense.

No one knows more about the Sooners than someone who follows them on a regular basis, so we asked Matt at the SB Nation site Crimson and Cream Machine to answer some questions about this weekend's Oklahoma vs Nebraska game.
