Both Oregon and Boise State will be looking to "punch" (ha ha, get it) their ticket, so to speak, with signature wins on the opening weekend of the 2011 college football season.  We'll be with you here from start to finish, so feel free to use this running game thread for all your comments non-OU game related (of course we'll have our own special game thread for that one).  Here is a quick rundown of both the Big 12 games and some national games of interest.
