I don't - theres no reason to schedule something more than a few years out. It's not like we're sending humans to Mars here, we're scheduling CFB game...I get why the schedules are done so far in advance, but hard to get excited when they’re 13 years away.

Announcement from UGA and OU may be delayed because they are attempting to be matched in Atlanta and Dallas neutral site games in 2023 and 2031. Which is what they should do. Split year H/H scheduling is stupid.Here's OU's future OOC schedule, not including other 2 games per year:
2019: @UCLA
2020: TENNESSEE
2021: NEBRASKA
2022: @ NEBRASKA
2023: GEORGIA
2024: @TENNESSEE
2025: MICHIGAN
2026: @ MICHIGAN
2027: L.S.U.
2028: @ L.S.U
2029: NEBRASKA
2030: @NEBRASKA
2031: @ GEORGIA
2032: ALABAMA
2033: @ALABAMA
2034: ???
2035: CLEMSON
2036: @ CLEMSON
I've been around a few and think you are right.Live with them and you’ll start to love sharing a state with Auburn fans. Nebraska fans are about the dumbest and most obnoxious fans I’ve ever been around. Tradition be derned I don’t want to ever see them on our schedule ever again.
I don't. Though I will say Omaha is really a nice city to be in from May- July.I miss Lincoln.
TBF Their 55 and up fans are some of the best that youll meet, and what many older fans here remember and think highly of their fanbase. But I think all the blown championship runs in the 80's, the run in the 90's, and the drought since has made some of the worst fans you'll find in this country. The only worst fans Ive met are Michigan and UGA fans.I've been around a few and think you are right.
I hate that these games are pushed so far out into the future. One of my most favorite football memories, even though it ended in disaster for us, was that 2002 game in Norman. You guys jumped out to a big lead, but then we mounted a comeback for the ages. Rinaldo Works (and an untimely Watts fumble) did us in at the end, but that was still an amazingly fun game. We held our own the next year in Tuscaloosa as well, despite being very out manned.I've been wondering why no official announcement...good info, thanks. I much prefer home/home over neutral site games. Part of the allure is going to a new game day atmosphere. I cherish my experiences in T-town, Knoxville, and Tallahassee to name a few. I miss Lincoln.
What is stupid about playing games in your own stadium?Announcement from UGA and OU may be delayed because they are attempting to be matched in Atlanta and Dallas neutral site games in 2023 and 2031. Which is what they should do. Split year H/H scheduling is stupid.

I think (hope) he meant the 8 year gap H/H. That is stupid.What is stupid about playing games in your own stadium?

I agree on that point. If you are doing home/home, it should be in consecutive years or no more than two years apart.I think (hope) he meant the 8 year gap H/H. That is stupid.
The gap was severe in 2003, Mike Shula's first season. But we were not that far apart in 2002. We had NFL talent all along the DL: Kindal Moorehead, Jarrett Johnson, Kenny King, and Antwan Odom. These all may not have been 10 year NFL starters, but they were all talented enough to be drafted and make rosters. I remember Johnson having a long career with the Ravens. We had guys like Justin Smiley, Evan Mathis, Wesley Britt, and Alonzo Ephraim on the OL. Smiley and Mathis had productive NFL careers. So at least the lines were well matched. Then we just had a lot of gutsy guys like Watts, Ahmad Galloway, Lane Bearden, Charlie Peprah, etc.You are absolutely correct. Based on talent alone, those OU teams should have beaten us soundly both times, yet both games were very close.
Anything other than consecutive years is stupid.What is stupid about playing games in your own stadium?

Conjecture on my part about the neutral site games, but I can't imagine what else would be holding up the announcements.I've been wondering why no official announcement...good info, thanks.

I agree. The Iowa State connection already puts them in Big 10 territory also. Any future additions to the SEC are likely to come from North Carolina, Virginia, or some other state that was once part of the Old South/confederacy. Oklahoma does not fit that bill and will likely follow Texas anyway.I think Oklahoma would be a better fit for the Big Ten than the SEC. You could get Nebraska back as an annual opponent.

They might as well kick Texas and West Virginia out and make bring back the Big 8 again. Texas is a cancer and can easily go independent and West Virginia is more of an ACC school.I agree.

there would be no profitability in that. The Big XII needs Texas more than any other team.They might as well kick Texas and West Virginia out and make bring back the Big 8 again. Texas is a cancer and can easily go independent and West Virginia is more of an ACC school.
