I think somebody lost (Texas?) and OU back-door'd their way into the 2006 Big 12 CG, defeating Nebraska, iirc.  

Whatever Bomar and the OL did is probably legal today.

12-7.  A&M won in Austin.  Heavy underdog.  We ran like 12 running plays in a row at the end of the game, chewed up clock.

I was at that Champ game in KC - nearly froze my feet standing in the snow

had some sharkwater in the parking lot

friggin Sooners

Oklahoma played nearly mistake-free football and Nebraska could not capitalize on several second-half opportunities as the Sooners won the 2006 Big 12 title game, 21-7.

In a game dominated by the defenses, the Sooners bent throughout the night but broke only once to drop Nebraska to 9-4. Oklahoma improved to 10-2 and earned a Bowl Championship Series berth to the Fiesta Bowl. The Huskers accepted a Cotton Bowl invitation.

While Nebraska was able to move the ball, OU’s defense created turnovers. Zac Taylor threw a season-high three interceptions, after throwing just four in the first 12 games of the season. The Huskers also lost two fumbles, including one inside their own 10 on the game’s first play from scrimmage.

Oklahoma’s only sustained drive proved to be the backbreaker for the Huskers. OU used a 10-play, 99-yard march midway through the third quarter to stop Nebraska’s comeback effort. The Huskers, who nearly buried the Sooners in the end zone for a safety on second down, surrendered a 35-yard completion from Paul Thompson to Jermal Greshman on third-and-10. Thompson and the Sooners capped the drive with a three-yard pass to Malcolm Kelly.

iirc, that was the Sooners team which would go on to live in infamy as the victims of Boise State's statue of liberty play on national tv.  

Nebraska went on to play Auburn, I think.  I can't remember who won that one, but I think AU.  But not sure.  AU was beat to hell three ways from Sunday ever since they got their Pyrrhic victory 7-3 over us in week 3.  They limped to every win they got from there on out.  If Purify and the Huskers lit them up, it wouldn't surprise me.  My memory ain't what it used to be.

hah, let me help ya with that............................

In a classic defensive struggle, No. 10 Auburn managed the only points of the second half on a 42-yard field goal in the third quarter to defeat No. 22 Nebraska, 17-14, in the 2007 Cotton Bowl.

The Huskers fell to the Tigers despite surrendering just 178 total yards, with both Auburn touchdowns coming in the first half on drives of less than 15 yards following NU turnovers. Nebraska generated 230 yards of total offense, including 126 yards passing and 104 yards on the ground.

Nebraska was in position to tie or win the game late in the fourth quarter after linebacker Stewart Bradley recovered an Auburn fumble at the Tiger 42 with 5:24 remaining. The Huskers drove to the Auburn 27 before losing yardage on consecutive plays to set up a decision on fourth down-and-11 at the AU 30. NU elected to go for it, but Zac Taylor’s pass to Frantz Hardy was incomplete.
