Auburn To Play Nebraska In AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic
The 10th-ranked Auburn football team (10-2) accepted an invitation Sunday to play 22nd-ranked Nebraska (9-4) from the Big 12 Conference in the 71st annual AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic in Dallas. The game will be played at the Cotton Bowl beginning at 10:40 a.m. CT on January 1, 2007.

Las Vegas Odds:

Auburn +27

Nebraska -27

Now taking any and all bets........................................... :lol:
 
that is a game that can get ugle real fast but if that is spread I think I would take the huskers as I don't think Auburn would cover.. But I don't gamble anymore so I guess it doesn't matter.. Wonder what the spread is on Florida vs OSU...

The spread I posted was just a joke to get a rise out of some.
 
Good, cause other wise there was a sports book that was about to go under, lol.. I assumed pretty much that it had to be but.. I would figure a 14 point one however.. The Big 12 seemed to have a bit of a down year this year and the SEC is, well, the SEC...

NOw, what I would love to see is Boise State beat up on Oklahoma as that would be just priceless. Doubt it will happen however eventhough the Broncos are a pretty good team these past few years.
 
anytime OU gets embarrassed is fie by me. but KSU has Rutgers this year, so I better just stay quiet until that is over. I am hoping we show up and play ball, but fear we may get throttled.
 
RUN MIKE RUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

don't bet with her....she is a dirty viscious gambler. you wwill end up in one of those damned Husker shirts!

Auburn didn't accomplish all of its goals this season, but it's hard to complain too much about a 10-win regular season with two wins over BCS teams and a trip to a New Year's Day Bowl.
The 10th-ranked Tigers (10-2) will get that chance in the Cotton Bowl against No. 22 Nebraska (9-4) in Dallas on Jan. 1.

"When we start the year out we always want the opportunity to win our conference and then go to a good bowl game," Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville said. "We accomplished one of those being the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. We didn't win our conference. We came close and competed hard, and that's what it's about. This is a great reward for our players. This is not a second-tier bowl. This is one of the top in the country and always has been."

Auburn did beat Florida and LSU, two teams that will play in BCS bowls, but lost at home to both Arkansas and Georgia. Nebraska won the Big 12 North and lost 21-7 to Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship game.

Even though Nebraska is trying to return its program to its previous place among the national elite after some down years, the Cornhuskers still carry a weighty reputation on the national football landscape.

Third-year coach Bill Callahan has the Huskers passing the ball a lot more often and a lot more effectively than the program ever imagined under former coaches Tom Osborne and Frank Solich,

"It's great for our players to have an opportunity to get the reward to play in a game such as this against a great football program in Nebraska," Tuberville said. "I have watched them over the years and coached against them a few times, being at the University of Miami in several bowl games. I have kept up with Coach Callahan's career over the years, being a student of the game. I'm really excited about playing against his team and players.

"It should be a great game between to similar teams. We run the same offense, the West Coast offense, and two similar defenses that attack the line of scrimmage and try to make plays on defense. It's a reward for our players and that's how we'll treat it. We obviously want to come out and play as well as we possibly can."

The Tigers also hope the end the season a lot better than they did the 2005 season, when they lost 24-10 to Wisconsin in the Capital One Bowl. As far as Tuberville is concerned, the Tigers have already had a successful season, but winning in the bowl would make it even better.
Mike, Looks like the coach knows he's already beat!!!

"Ten wins in major college football is huge," he said. "Anytime you can get to double digits it's big, and your players obviously played consistent. It wasn't a year that I would like to go back and replay because we had so many injuries and things that went against us. I'm really proud of the way our players stood up and played and our backups playing and coming in and doing things that sometimes they didn't think they could do to continue winning games."
 
The New Year's Day bowl appearance is a breakthrough for Nebraska, which last played on college football's biggest day in 2002 in the Rose Bowl. The incentive to re-establish themselves as a traditional power, coupled with their first appearance in the Cotton Bowl since 1980 could give the Huskers an edge unless they're left smarting too much from the loss to Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship game.
 
There's no doubt Nebraska has the best team in the Cotton Bowl. Auburn has had several players hurt during the course of the year and some may not be well by bowl time.

OK, Give me Auburn plus 7 points and I'll bet with ya.

By the way, did you know our quarterback has myasthenia gravis? Google it, his name is Brandon Cox.

Our main running back has a severe case of "Turf Toe" also. Center is still nursing a knee. Man, I'm not sure they should even play at all? :wink:

You should give me about 15 points but I'll just take 7. :cry:
 
Sorry little buddy no points........ My boss has burned me the last three games we have bet on...

You take Auburn, I'll take Nebraska.... Who ever wins, wins....( No whinning,)

Now is this the way I will be converting all of you to the Husker nation by wearing a shirt??? Or do you have other options??? Let me know so I know what I can exspect from YOU!!!! :D :D :twisted:

I dunno Katrina. I'm at a severe disadvantage here. Sounds like you're trying to rake me over the coals.

OK. I tell you what I'll do. Give me just 6 1/2 points and we'll talk. You've finally worn me down. :oops:

No T-shirt wearing. Cash, check, money orders, Visa and Master cards accepted.
