I just went to our local Dish provider - had to get a new remote as one of our's is missing. I asked about the BIG 10 and was told that come August 11, 2011 we need to call to add it to our package. She said we have to add some sports package for a one time fee. She wouldn't tell me the fee but just smiled and said that "once you hear the fee, you are going to wonder why they even charged anything". She also said she would be extremely surprised if any of our home games are on the Big 10 Network this year. Something about the Univeristy wanting those games on PPV until all of the Nebraska providers are offering the Big Ten network to their customers. Just passing this along but I plan to call on August 11, 2011. If what she says is true, at least some of the away games may be on this year.

I think its the other way around,we always played them tough, we have come so close to beating them several times even when we have our worst teams going against them! We almost beat them with Sam Keller,Jammal Lord,Zac taylor You are right - we have played them tough. I meant that it is always a good, hard fought game and that no matter what TX's record is, with all the bad blood from last year, with us leaving the B12 next year etc.... we will get their best shot regardless of their record. Also, I remember when they beat us 37-27 in the 1996 B12 Championship. They weren't supposed to have much of a chance that year.

First post here guys - been lurking for several years! I am rooting for OU for sure! Personally, I could care less if Texas has an 0-4 record when we play them. They always play us tough and no matter what their record is, we will get their best shot. An undefeated OU and NU in the B12 championship is what I want to see. Just seems like the right way to depart the B12 plus, I respect Stoops and Sooners, can't same the same for the horns or their fans. As much as I wanted to pull for TX this last weekend I just couldn't do it. Winning takes care of everything. We just need to keep winning and everything will fall into place. Our schedule is very favorable and sets up nicely for a championship run but after this last game, I would be lying if I said I am as confident now as I was after the Washington game. I have had concerns about our front 4 now all season. Seems that just about everyone has had success running right between the tackles. Hoping Bo and Carl get that addressed in the next 10 days!!!!! Our defense has gotten progressively better the last 2 years as the season has gone on. I am hopeful that trend continues.
