More from Norman To Tear or Not to Tear In addition to the debate over throwing oranges, there are mixed beliefs as to whether Sooner fans should head for the goalposts after an OU win. While local law enforcement has made it a priority to protect the end zone structures, adding personnel and even cameras to watch the area, the debate rages on. Husker coach Bob Stoops has said he is against the act, as is former OU coach Barry Switzer. They believe you should act like beating the No. 1 team isn't a big deal, like you've been there before. "No way," Switzer said when asked if fans should mob the field. "Goalposts only come down when people don't have any confidence or belief. We aren't that way. It should be just. 'ho-hum.'" On many internet chat boards, fans seem split on the issue. One OU fan said police threats shouldn't scare anyone, while another urged fans to act with class at the nationally televised game. Local police have said anyone caught trying to tear down the goalposts could be arrested and charged with a felony count of malicious injury to property. Crunch-time experience Though Oklahoma quarterbacks coach Chuck Long has no ties to the Oklahoma-Nebraska rivalry, he is well educated when it comes to No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdowns. Long was a senior quarterback in 1985 when he led top-ranked Iowa on a game-winning drive against No. 2 Michigan. The sixty-yard, last-minute drive culminated in a game-winning field goal and pure pandemonium. "You wouldn't believe that place, it just fell apart. It was crazy," Long said. "The city was just on fire for the entire weekend." Odds and ends The world's largest touring grill is coincidentally in town for the big game and will be selling bratwursts prior to kickoff. The grill, a converted tractor-trailer, is 65-feet long and can cook 2,500 brats in an hour. A jam-packed pep rally, featuring the rock band the Toadies was scheduled for Friday night, after which the 2000 Oklahoma men's basketball team was to be introduced. NORMAN, Okla. -- Next to inquiries about the weather, the biggest question in Soonerland this week has been. "Whose got tickets?" The answer is just about everyone, including you too, pending there's a shiny piece of plastic or a fat wad of cash in your wallet. While area radio stations have been daring fans to chug creamed corn, harass drive-through fast food employees and hum the Sooner fight spot inside Memorial Stadium, the scalping scene has been red-hot. In a state where the act is legal, the price has skyrocketed to as much as $2,400. On the internet auction site eBay, the cheapest pair of tickets as of Friday afternoon was $290. Many packages were priced over $1,000, with one four-ticket package asking for $2,400. On Thursday, OU officials were angry about an eBay ad offering a media sideline pass for $227. The ad was quickly removed, and athletics department officials were investigating Friday. Sixty-seven ads in Friday's Daily Oklahoman classifieds were either looking for, or selling tickets. So yes, there's seats to be head -- if you're willing to pay. "It's been pretty busy, probably the biggest game we've had around in here in 13 years," said John Keele, manager of Best Tickets. "But I don't know about anything selling in four-figures. I think that's all fluff." A lot of the last-minute ticket hunters are Nebraska fans, who turned heads in a September game against Notre Dame when some 25,000 Husker faithful invaded South Bend for an overtime victory. This week, supporters of the Sooners have pleaded on various internet chat boards not to sell to the Huskers. But one local broker, Shelby of Ticket City, could care less. When asked if he had any qualms about selling to Nebraska fans, he emphatically said, "No." "I'd rather sell to a Husker fan," he said. "I'm a UT boy. I hate OU. I like the Huskers a whole lot better. I hope Nebraska goes in there and lay the smack down on OU." Shelby wouldn't give his last name. Wonder why. While RVs and campers have been rolling into town, staking a claim to a prime tailgating spot, beer trucks and food warehouses have been on overload delivery. Keith Allen, the owner of Brother's, a popular campus bar, is expecting one of his biggest crowds ever. He says it will probably rival the jam-packed night in 1997 when the Rolling Stones were in town. Allen has stocked four times the normal amount of food and beer in anticipation. There will be extra cooks, wait staff, and of course, bartenders. Allen expects an increase in revenue of about 20 percent from a normal game, and about five times an average day. The only question that remains is the weather. Local forecasters are all but guaranteeing showers and thunderstorms on Saturday, but the question is when. Most forecasts are anticipating mid- to late-afternoon rain. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. local time. Not only would a wet game slow the high-powered Oklahoma air attack, but it would also hurt businesses like Allen's. "We can seat about 350 people comfortably, inside and out," Allen said. "If it rains, that would kill us."
