We're taking a look at the greatest games in the rivalry between Oklahoma and Nebraska this week. And, you can't talk about the rivalry without remembering 1971's "Game of the Century".
More of a "Game of the Decade" than century. Every decade had great games. Too bad colleges are following the money in creating super confrences. Rivalries like OU-Nebraska are now fading into memory.
Our family was among the lucky few Husker fans who got tickets to see this game. I've still got my ticket stub in my wallet. Probably will until the day I die, even though I can't go to the games anymore.
Well, this game sure made up for a lot of OU drubbings of us in the years to come.

I'm sure it was a great game but the game of the 20th century was Michigan State - Notre Dame 1966.
