Oh yeah! Huskers and Sooners next Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium:)

The 2006 Dr Pepper Big 12 Football Championship returns to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Dec. 2. The 11th edition of the battle for the league title will be played at the home of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs for the fourth time in league history in a venue that seats more than 75,000 fans

Oklahoma has won two of the three matchups played in the City of Fountains. The Sooners won the last contest there, posting a 42-3 victory over Colorado. Other games in Arrowhead were in 2003 (Kansas State 35, Oklahoma 7) and 2000 (Oklahoma 27, Kansas State 24).

OU has won the most Big 12 title games with three championships. Nebraska and Texas are the only other squads to win multiple crowns with two each, while Colorado, Kansas State and Texas A&M have one apiece. The Sooners have the most title game appearances with five, followed by Texas (4). Colorado, Kansas State and Nebraska are next with three appearances each.

The winner of the Dr Pepper Big 12 Football Championship Game earns the league’s automatic berth into the Bowl Championship Series.
