Obviously the big one is the Red River Shoot Out in Dallas. 

Then the scheduling gods did me a huge favor and put most of the other great games of the day at the same time as the Nebraska - Texas Tech game (game thread for that game will open up at 2:00 pm). 

I'm going to have to get a better Dish Network DVR, so I can record and flip, dadgumit.
