Husker Football Tickets

Just like old times – NU vs. OU for Big 12 title

If you've had Husker football tickets over the years, you will no doubt remember the old days when Nebraska played Oklahoma for the conference championship.
In the old days, that matchup was always one of the games of the year, one of the games that determined who would play for a national championship. During one stretch in time, Nebraska and Oklahoma either won or shared the Big Eight title on an annual basis, and the winner usually found themselves in the Orange Bowl playing for a national title.
Those two old rivals are getting together one more time this weekend, as the Huskers face the Sooners in the Big 12 Conference Championship this Saturday at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The winner will receive the conference's BCS bid to play in the Fiesta Bowl, while the loser likely will wind up in the Alamo Bowl or the Cotton Bowl.
This is only the second time Nebraska and Oklahoma have met for all the marbles since the Big 12 Conference was formed in 1997. Oklahoma won that meeting in 2006, one of five conference titles they have won in Big 12 play.
Nebraska will be playing with a question mark at quarterback. Taylor Martinez was held out of last week's 45-17 win over Colorado, and his status is day-to-day according to coach Bo Pelini. Cody Green has proven to be an effective replacement the past few weeks, and Pelini hinted that both signal-callers may be used in Saturday's game.
Oklahoma reached the big game with a wild win over in-state rival Oklahoma State on Saturday. The two teams combined to score 40 points in the final period before the Sooners held on for a 47-41 victory. The win put the Sooners, Cowboys and Texas A&M in a three-way tie for the top spot in the South Division. The conference uses the latest BCS standings to break a three-way tie, and Oklahoma's No. 9 ranking in the BCS standings (compared to 14 for OSU and 18 for A&M) put the Sooners in the title game, setting up a battle of old Big Eight rivals.

Huskers bid adieu to Big 12 this Friday

What has been an interesting and controversial season of Big 12 football finally comes to an end Friday for fans with Husker football tickets when Nebraska plays host to Colorado.

It's the last regular season conference game for Nebraska in the Big 12, as they make their move east to the Big Ten Conference beginning in 2011. Coincidentally, it's also the last Big 12 game for Colorado, as they will join Utah in what will become the Pac 12 Conference.

Colorado designated Nebraska as its rival in the early 1980's when then-coach Bill McCartney felt the history between the two teams needed a little spicing up. Husker fans laughed at the notion of Colorado being its rival, as it already had a healthy rivalry going with Oklahoma at the time. By the late 1980's, though, Colorado had found a way to beat Nebraska and make it an interesting matchup, and the two teams have gone on to win national titles in the years since the rivalry was conjured up by McCartney.

Recent years have been interesting, with Colorado racking up 60-plus points on Nebraska twice in the decade, a feat Nebraska used to do to Colorado on a regular basis. This year, the Buffaloes have struggled and were forced to fire their coach in mid-season, yet can become bowl-eligible if they come to Lincoln and upset the Huskers in their annual Thanskgiving weekend matchup.

You can get tickets and be a part of history for the last regular-season conference matchup between these two teams. Get your tickets to see Nebraska host Colorado now at Ticket Express -- where no Husker football game is ever sold out.

Husker-Jayhawks rivalry dates back to 1892

Husker football tickets will be hot this weekend for a big matchup between Nebraska and Kansas.
These two teams know each other pretty well. So well, in fact, that their rivalry is one of the longest-running continuous rivalries in all of college football, dating back to 1892.
Nebraska has dominated the series between the two teams, although Kansas has picked up some notable wins in recent times, including an unbelievable 76-39 win in 2007.
Kansas comes to Nebraska struggling under first-year coach – and former Nebraska quarterback and assistant coach – Turner Gill. Gill has had his ups and downs during his first season in Lawrence, posting an upset win over Georgia Tech and a loss to North Dakota State. Last week, Kansas came back from a 28-point deficit with 35 points in the fourth quarter to beat Colorado.
It will be an interesting day for Husker football fans, as a legend returns to coach against his alma mater. You can see Kansas take on Nebraska with great tickets from Ticket Express -- where no Husker football game is ever sold out.
