[Big Red Cop]

through Friday morning! 8-14 inches expected, so if you are heading to KC tomorrow sometime, it might get a little tricky! Anyone up for a snowball fight Saturday??:D

Yeah, let's have snowball fight with all the nu fans, but don't tell them. hehehe

[southern sooner]

I am sure the field will be in good shape, however, weather in general (cold, snow fall during game), does this help or hurt one team more than the other?? Is Neb use to playing in it??? Has this young OU team played in porr conditions (this yr Colo game was cold but no rain).... thoughts???

[Big Red Cop]

The only thing that the weather (cold/there will be no snow for the game) will hamper are the hits will hurt just a little more, and ball security could become an issue. But as far as helping either team one way or another, I don't believe it will. It did snow in the NU/Texas game, about the time that NU took the lead, but it stopped and Texas came roaring back!:mad:

[yermom]

sounds like the drive through Kansass on Friday might get a little rough

i wonder how much extra time it will take...

[AzianSooner]

if it is cold, whoever has the best running game and runing back will win.

I am glad I will be watching from home this year.

It looks like a blizzard in Ponca City today.

[OUstud]

Thanks, Big XII, for putting the game in KC once again. 13 degree temperatures are way better than, say, the climate-controlled 71 in Houston. :mad:

Allen Patrick needs to have the GAME of his lifetime!

No kidding, 1 Dallas, 1 H-Town, 1 San Antonio, 8 frozen tundra - WTF?

yeah, no ****e :D

great timing on making back at 7:00 as well

I thought that's how you Big 8 guys liked it? ;) Real football weather.

I thought you guys didn't like all the Texas influence in the conference? ;) OK, I'll stop. Wish I was going to be freezing on Saturday instead.

[recemp]

Well, we could've lost to OSU and everybody would be warm and dry....
I'm driving in from Chicago. Starting out on Friday morning. OU/Neb. in the Big XII championship game? That'll be better than Boise St in Phoenix.

[JPNSKER]

Ah, c'mon guys & gals. Just grab some wool socks & sneak a little schnapps in & you'll be fine!:D

Most reports around here (lincoln) are Sunny & 40 deg w/ 6mph North wind. Although the low is 19:eek: .

[PrideTrombone]

No kidding, 1 Dallas, 1 H-Town, 1 San Antonio, 8 frozen tundra - WTF?

Well, the 2 St. Louis games would've been in the Edward Jones Dome. And Houston and San Antonio have hosted 2 Big XII Championships apiece.

ya'll enjoy jacksonville in december;)

maybe dallas.:D

[trey]

what a bunch of pu$$ys

[Herr Scholz]

maybe dallas.:D
Thanks but we're going to San Antonio. REAL excited about that one. :rolleyes:

[picasso]

it's not the freezing at the game or even bad roads that I'm worried about. my concern is the dork driving towards me on the bad roads.

[JiuJitsuSooner]

They should play AD in the 4th Quarter

[boomersooner28]

And we have our CCG in Kansas City IN DECEMBER AT NIGHT because why again?

[cvsooner]

Because the SEC championship game is on earlier in the daytime, in a domed stadium, followed by USC and UCLA in fairly warm and sunny Southern California.

This makes no sense whatsoever. Playing in KC stinks bigtime. St. Louis would be a better venue. We did beat KSU in really cold weather in 2000, though.

Weather will be a factor, no way around it. Neither team has played in really cold weather, but it does raise concern over turnover ratios. Need to play near perfect ball, and let Huskers self-destruct. That's really what happened to OSU. We committed no turnovers and they had several very dumb penalties.

And the game wouldn't have been close if refs had spotted the fumble at the goal line, and/or Birdine, Ah You and Baker make their interceptions late.

This makes no sense whatsoever. Playing in KC stinks bigtime. St. Louis would be a better venue. We did beat KSU in really cold weather in 2000, though.

while playing in st. louis would certainly be a better venue for the teams. can you imagine sooner fans trying to drive to st. louis tomorrow or saturday morning. nexrad at 4:45 pm cst. http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9923/screenshot009pl7.jpg this thing is going clear KC much faster than st. louis. it's just ridiculous to have this game anywhere north of dallas, especially in an outdoor stadium. from the look of things in oklahoma it's snowing as far south as ardmore and durant. http://www.wunderground.com/forecasts/OK.html --geez altus reports heavy snow and blowing snow.

[Al Gore]

BTW.....it's been in the 60's around here. This is the first cold snap of the year for us up North so Nebraska has not played in this weather either......

[yermom]

except when they played Texass ;)

[SoonerInKCMO]

Ooohhhh nooooo!!! It might be chiillyyyy for the game!!! Boooooohooooooo!!! That sucks!@! I can't deal with the coooolllld!! Brrrrrrr....


Pussies. :rolleyes:

[85sooners]

lets get fired up you ****in pussies and whip some cornhusker ***!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Boomerbrad]

For those traveling the Kansas, KDOT is pretty good about keeping this page up-to-date:

[Al Gore]

It won't take them long to clear the turnpike.......

[utex74]

Yeah, let's have snowball fight with all the nu fans, but don't tell them. hehehe

The old line about the weather is the same for both teams is bogus. I think the cold helps Nebraska. And here is a thought, if it is fair for the south division team to play the championship game in Kansas City in the winter it should be fair to have Nebraska play in Austin in September at 2:30 in the afternoon. I think 15 degrees in KC evens out 105 degrees in 70% humidity in Austin!

These games are too important. It is a bit whiney, but put these games inside and take the weather out of the mix. There are enough domed stadiums now. Why is the Big 12 going to the old outdoors in winter?

I don't have a dog in this one but I think it works to your disadvantage.

[utex74]

ya'll enjoy jacksonville in december;)

maybe dallas.:D

We get Jacksonville or San Antonio. The Cotton has the loser of your game Saturday. They already announced it.

[StoopTroup]

what a bunch of pu$$ys
Says the guy sitting at home watching....

:pop:

[sOUnd]

No frozen oranges in those snowballs this time. But lookout.

[SoonerShark]

Thanks, Big XII, for putting the game in KC once again. 13 degree temperatures are way better than, say, the climate-controlled 71 in Houston. :mad:

The Big XII believes you have an Iditirod sled dog conference championship to pick a team to play in a greyhound bowl game.

[SoonerShark]

The weather in KC this year should favor the conference's third best team to win the conference championship, since it is housed in a frozen wasteland itself. The best team in the Big XII this year is clearly the South champion, the second best team the South's second placed team. Most years, the South's third best team is the conference's third best team, and the fourth place team about even with the North's best. Nebraska is the third best this year, but I would expect them to win the Big XII's absurd KC December nighttime championship game due to the conditions.

But not for one stupid play at the end of its UT game, NU would be 7-1 in conference, too. Conversely, but for one of the weakest roughing the passer calls ever against A&M, NU would be 5-3 in conference, about what NU's record would be if it played in the South this year, going 3-0 against the North, and 2-3 in the South, beating Baylor and A&M. Again, that last scenario is IF NU played in the South, rather than the weak, below Conference USA level Big XII North.

[Husker In Oklahoma]

Conversely, but for one of the weakest roughing the passer calls ever against A&M, Dude, put down the bong, that call clearly had to be made, he hit him hard a full second and a half after Zac let go of the ball. That said, if we dont get that call, it was still NU's ball, with time left, so who knows what would have happened.

As for the North, get over yourselves. Nebraska is continuing to build (at least Callahan can recruit, the rest, I'm not sure of). KSU beat Texas, who beat you. NU should have beaten Texas. CU pasted Tech. The North carried the Big 12 for the first half of its life. The North will be back, sooner than you think. KSU will get better, CU will get better, Mizzou will be, well Mizzou, KU and ISU will be themselves. Other than CU letting down the North last year in the Big 12 final, the North has won the Big 12 every other year, 35-7 ring any bells? Your right about the South being stronger, mainly because of Texas and OU. I do however, think the gap is shrinking.
