Talks happening for a home and home involving Texas and Bama

[bornbama1 106]

Read that negotiations are ongoing between the Texas and Bama for a home and home series. These kinds of games would be great for CFB. It would also pit two of my favorite teams against one another.

This idea. I like.

 

[DigglerontheHoof 21183]

That would be fun. 

 

[936horn 910]

The more marquee match ups we have, the better in general. Plus hopefully it gets scheduled after Saban has retired...

[Assman 1830]

 

[Escapedgoat 90]

I'm all for these and especially if they are home and home.

I would hate this to be at Jerryworld or any neutral site.

[G650 14245]

Hell yes.

[skeeter 454]

Aggy would bitch like a drama queen that we’re cutting in on their action ... 

[JayM09 0]

Let's do it.

[Beef 128]

I am game. 

[nycHorn 2998]

Couches on lawns all across Bama are ready to be burned!

[jimmyjazz 45893]

Yep.  That would be amazing, and interestingly enough, a marquee home-and-home where I would have almost zero interest in making the road trip.  Columbus, South Bend, Pasadena, sure.  Tuscaloosa?  Er, maybe not so much.

[Neonmoon 38129]

Fuck Bama

And their BBQ sucks

[Hefeweizen 5310]

This idea I like. Fuck Bama and it would be epic to play them home and home. 

[gecko 1104]

Great idea.....hope it's not relegated to Fox at 11am

Also the key statement, "home and home" is an important one....we can only hope

worth it for the aggy tears alone

[Rollo Tomassi 80]

This would be awesome.  What years are we talking about here?  I don't think we have anything open until about 2027 or so.

[Billy Pilgrim 1960]

Yeah- won't be the same when Saban is gone from bama and Herman is going for a 6th national championship in 8 years and everyone is rooting against us.

[gecko 1104]

It would be good to get this scheduled before 'Bama comes back to earth (post-Saban, pre-Dabo) and while we are "hopefully" coming back to football life.....

[bschoolprof 6252]

Love this idea.  Hopefully we are good by then.

Fuck neutral site games. They take away so much of what makes college football great (besides the game itself).

Big name opponents in the future:

2018: USC

2019: LSU

2020: @LSU

2021: @Arkansas

2022: Ohio State

2023: @Ohio State

2024: @Michigan

2025: None

2026: None

2027: Michigan

You can see our full planned OOC slate here: http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa/big-12/texas-longhorns.php

Alabama is open from 2022 onward, so 2025-26 would work nicely.

Was not impressed by Dreamland, but the ribs at Archibald's were pretty damn good.

[HOOKEM4 5036]

Love it. 

[BrazilHorn 6586]

Just don’t do it in Jerryworld or reliant. I want a true home and home.

I was also not impressed by Dreamland. 

They are famous for ribs, but it was like 90s style BBQ aka cheap and shitty.

Place went down hill when the original owner (Big John Bishop) died. His kids made it a franchise and fucked it up.

I'm in.

New Orleans could be fun, though!   Generally speaking, I agree.  We need them here and there.

[hobbs 243]

Yep, ink it.  But please, please no Jerryworld.  Needs to be a home & home, but NOLA could be fun as hell too.

[NOMAAA 1696]

this would be epic.  would like to watch us push sabans shit in in front of their home crowd while drinking whiskey.

[Nuge 1966]

Yes please.

We will NOT have a home game at a neutral site.

[ATLLonghorn 848]

Dreamland sucks.

If we're going to give Bama the opportunity to play in front of Texas recruits then we should get two home games to one road game in T-Town.

So that 2021 @ Arkansas is the return game for 2008? That's insane. It was originally scheduled for 2014 and they pushed it another 7 years. I don't think I've ever seen a 13 year split between games like that.

[QfromOH_1013 13]

Let's do it!... last time Herman was on a coaching staff that played Bama they kicked ass!..

[victory88 5663]

please let it be a home and home.  need payback since we played them in 09.

Texas-OU is more of a home game for both teams because it's always in the Cotton Bowl and the fans never switch sides.

[Jersey Man10 3528]

Hopefully we destroy them and then the following week Bama destroys aggy.

[Horny Bull 2759]

In for an actual home and home.

By the time we get to 2021, Fayetteville may have progressed to 1977.

[Duke Silver 191]

2025-2026... isn’t that about the time the conference tv contracts expire?  Interdasting. 

[LonghornSean 3989]

Would be awesome but I just don't believe Bama is interested in a home and home with a major team outside of SEC country.  Hope I'm wrong but they know how to build in advantages through scheduling.

[Majorcholas 508]

I think it’s awesome to have a badass marquee name to be playing every year. 

 

And we ain’t Aggie scared to play a badass or two non conf.

[tx 3 putt 76874]

in for this road trip

 

25 and 26, are herman and saban still the head coaches ?

Annnnnd....Aggy can stay in the shallow end of the pool like the rest of our bitches.

It would be cool if we could start these negotiations AFTER we got good again, but fuck it. We're Texas. Sink or swim

[SW Horn 7]

Bama would be a good road trip. Don’t care if they’re good. Just hope we’re good. 

[trueut2003 73]

I'm guessing I'll be pretty old when they play these.
