Oklahoma shows the nation that it's running with the big dogs again after defeating #1 Nebraska and Heisman contender Eric Crouch in Norman. *(from Oct. 28th 2000)
I remember the Monday after this game, my 8th grade English teacher put on the chalkboard: "Nebraska 14, Oklahoma 31. It's hard to be humble when you're a SOONER!" So true. BOOMER!
the game that changed my life. i still remember exactly who i was standing screaming my ten year old head off next to. i miss that defense. they were great
sorney98 would you rather Nebraska be back in the Big12 where they were relevant or just be where they are now? Which is probably less than a.500 record..
@@stevenwillow2525 haha yet we've seen could win the Big 10, I'm not worried just needed to adjust to recruiting since lost Texas some. But I'm happy where they are. Nebraska was the only one standing up to Texas but had enough of others not saying anything.
Cannot believe the announcer jinxed Heupel with the "he hasn't thrown an interception in conference play.." Heupel should have been entitled to a free gut punch.
I was at this game. I was in the student section, about halfway up the stands around the 30 yard line. The whole place was going crazy, and there was not an orange to be had in Norman between the K-State game and the end of the semester.
I wish Oklahoma would have had the stones to keep scheduling this game every year when the Big XII was formed. Unfortionately Nebraska was on top and Oklahoma looked at it as a blessing. It would still be great to schedule this game like Clemson/So Carolina, Florida/Florida St, etc.
Nebraska really f***** up when they fired Frank solich they were winning 9-10 ball games a year it's not easy following a legend in Tom Osborne but they were still winning after they let go of Frank solich they have been mediocre every since.
John Manning I know and they had even made the national championship, they just ran into Miami that year and no one in the country was gonna beat them in the championship
@soonerscott2007 You have at least 3 slots open for nonconferense games. They could have schedule the game each year. They could still do it. It will be sad not to play oklahoma, kansas and iowa st each year.
@ROMEYYOUROCK It had nothing to do with Oklahoma or Nebraska's scheduling. Since 1996 when the Big 12 formed the South team's North oponents rotate every 2 years and visa versa. That's just conference rules. I wished they played every year also. Now it's gone for good, unless they meet this year in the Big 12 Championship.
@bbender1986 Sounds like you need to do your homework. Last year was a very rare occurrence due to so many injuries. Nebraska is probably actually glad they're escaping the Big 12 so they won't have to play OU again. If you will do a little research on recent past schedules I think you know what usually happens. BOOMER SOONER! Nebraska is getting back but don't get too cocky.
@joebs333 No, I meant when the Big XII started. Nebraska and Oklahoma could have scheduled each other during a "non conference" slot. Oklahoma declined Nebraska's offer. Not that I blame them, Nebraska just won 3 championships in 4 years and Oklahoma was in a downward spiral. Since then things have flip flopped. We will miss vast long tradition of the Big XII, all 15 years. The ship was sinking and Nebraska was the first one to abandon ship. Colorado followed and now A&M is out the door.
@ThunderSooner2835 Yeah! I'm happy and a little mad about that. The only way Nebraska and Oklahoma play this season is in the Big 12 Championship Game. Which will most likely happen (knock on wood...) Go Huskers!
ROMEYYOUROCK What in the hell are you talking about? You can't schedule extra conference games as non conference games. How would you even count the game? Name me one case where two teams from the same conference play each other in an extra non conference game. I'll wait...
@joebs333 Oklahoma and Nebraska could have schedule whoever they wish outside of the conference schedule. Nebraska offered to keep rivalry going but Oklahoma declined. Being a Nebraska fan I will miss playing most of the original Big 8 teams, especially Oklahoma. It's nothing to do with a better chance of winning. It's all about dollars and cents.
@soonerscott2007 How recent? I'm sure you just want to look at the last 6 games when Nebraska was at its worst. Last 10 years, Nebraska 2 - Oklahoma 5, Last 10 before that, Nebraska 8 - Oklahoma 1.
ROMEYYOUROCK: Recently is what counts the most but if we're going to go back we might as well go all the way. You're acting like OU didn't own Nebraska pretty much every decade before the 90's as well as after. The nice stretch Nebraska had that you pointed out was the only one.
@bbender1986 Oh yeah is that why Nebraska left the Big 12, we won half the conference championships 7 out of 14. All the rest of the bottom feeders own 1 or 2.
@alexhp91 Yeah and OU realized the Pac 10 didn't want them they bowed down to Texas. The Big XII needs Nebraska to remain relevent. Have fun beating up on ISU, Kansas, and Kansas State, chump. It was be bitter sweet kicking oklahoma ass one more time in the Big XII championship game this year.
"Welcome back Oklahoma" chills every time
Devin Hamilton Oakies generally don’t know where they are.
Man Torrance Marshall was a beast at linebacker back then.
The memories. Bob Stoops put us back on the map.
I remember the Monday after this game, my 8th grade English teacher put on the chalkboard: "Nebraska 14, Oklahoma 31. It's hard to be humble when you're a SOONER!" So true. BOOMER!
“Strait might go straight to the end zone!”
Legendary call
I'm an OSU but I love watching these old games. The defense that year was just ferocious.
the game that changed my life. i still remember exactly who i was standing screaming my ten year old head off next to. i miss that defense. they were great
Those were the days!
Why the hell did Nebraska leave the big 12? Gave up so much tradition
Clint Elliott simple, tired of giving most of the money to Texas unlike the Big 10 where we split the money evenly
sorney98 would you rather Nebraska be back in the Big12 where they were relevant or just be where they are now? Which is probably less than a.500 record..
Big 12 Texas University Conference, Any more questions.
@@sorney98 ......and now, just like Mizzou and Colorado they're bottom feeders. Sad.

Thanks soonerscott!! Love it!

i was working at wal mart on a Saturday and mom recorded the game but found out the score and made my day

It wasn't up to them, the Big 12 made that decision. What a stupid comment.
and players had respect like throwing the ball to ref
Nebraska really f***** up when they fired Frank solich they were winning 9-10 ball games a year it's not easy following a legend in Tom Osborne but they were still winning after they let go of Frank solich they have been mediocre every since.
John Manning I know and they had even made the national championship, they just ran into Miami that year and no one in the country was gonna beat them in the championship
You always got the feeling Solich knew what he was doing.
They really haven't had a great coach since he was fired. --- my opinion
Agreed 👊🏾
Heupel threw a beeeeeeaaauuutiful ball!!

do you think you can get all of the 2000 games
@jpm4444
It was the big 8 championship almost every year. I can't think of a year when it wasn't, actually.
Lots of times. CU was involved in the 1990's

Go Huskers!
You left out "The Wink"?
BOOMER SOONER - Class of 75!! GO OU!
A defense away from a national championship
I say that as long as we keep Lincoln Riley.

@alexhp91 Congrats.
@shepardw1 Neither. It's a great series.
I wish you knew what in the world you were talking about...
Ha Hack! OU won! We'll always be just a little bit better than Nebraska!
*see
