August 21Aug 21 Happy playing a 9 game schedule. We have a couple of good OOC matchups coming up but half of them have already cancelled on us because of realignment. Getting to play everyone in the conference twice every 4 years is much preferred over maybe playing a cool P4 OOC game. Just annoyed that everyone keeps pairing us up with Oklahoma. We're already playing each other 2 out of ever 4 years, we don't need to "create" marquee brand matchups as a rivalry game.
August 21Aug 21 1 hour ago, utee94 said: It's not really pods because every school doesn't have the same 3 other schools on the schedule. A true pod of Texas, Arkansas, OU, and Texas A&M schedule would look like: Texas: Arkansas, A&M, OU OU: Texas, Arkansas, A&M A&M: OU, Texas, Arkansas, Arkansas: OU, Texas, Texas A&M That's okay, but really, why would OU and Arkansas have to play each other every year? They don't have longstanding rivalries with one another. The 3 perma-rivals, on the other hand, can rotate all of that out and make it fit better for each team. From above: Arkansas: Missouri, Texas, Ole Miss Texas A&M: LSU, Texas, Mississippi State Texas: Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Arkansas Oklahoma: Texas, Missouri, Florida Arkansas has developed a "rivalry" with LSU. Not sure anyone has any sort of rivalry or feelings about Missouri aside from Arkansas and historically OU. Based on all I've heard, nobody thinks of them at all. I think aggie would WANT be aligned with LSU, Arkansas and Texas. Those are their "rivalries". Just don't think LSU sees that game the way aggie does. I think more likely aggie gets Arkansas, Texas, OU or SC Arkansas: Texas, LSU, Aggie LSU: Arkansas, Ole Miss, Bama are their 3 traditional ones. Tennessee: Vandy, Kentucky, Bama Florida: Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky (Auburn or Bama both apply as rivals) Kentucky: Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Florida Georgia: Florida, Auburn, Tennessee Bama: Auburn, LSU, Tennessee South Carolina: Georgia, Tennessee, Aggie ? Vanderbilt: Tennessee, Kentucky, Ole Miss Missouri: Arkansas, OU, Texas or Aggie? Ole Miss: MSU, Bama, Auburn or Arkansas OU: Texas, Arkansas and Aggie or Missouri MSU: Ole Miss, Kentucky, Bama Auburn: Bama, Georgia, ? USA Today already penned an article.

August 21Aug 21 So if we are already scheduling one big P4 school and one in-state G5 school, what’s our third opponent?

August 22Aug 22 i just posted this over in the aggy 995 thread but posting here too...... just thought of another 'big evil texas destroyer of worlds' moment coming when snakey tells the fcs addicts that they have to move those games to september to clear the table for the tv discussion disney ain't forkin' over $80m to have their hands tied by tier 3 content

August 22Aug 22 30 minutes ago, Js1 said: So if we are already scheduling one big P4 school and one in-state G5 school, what’s our third opponent? We'll play one Texas system school (UTSA/UTEP and either is already scheduled till 2031), one FBS either from Texas or a bordering state, one P4.
August 22Aug 22 Allow me to rephrase. Future P4 opponents, D1 UT System schools, and Rice/Texas State. No more directional Louisiana schools please. Keep the money in state.
August 22Aug 22 We're booked up through 2029. I doubt we drop anyone. 2030/2031 P4 home and home matchup will be interesting to see who we can get. Washington or Oregon would be great. Clemson, Florida State would be fun ACC opponents but I'm not sure we'll see any ACC teams that have an existing SEC rival. I doubt we dip into the Big 12 for a while and I'd imagine BYU or Colorado would be the choice. 2026- Texas State, Ohio State, UTSA 2027- New Mexico State, Michigan, UTEP 2028-Louisiana Tech, @ Notre Dame, UTSA 2029- ULM, UTEP, Notre Dame 2030-UTSA only 2031- UTEP only 2032-@Arizona State only 2033-Arizona State only Edited August 22Aug 22 by mdmost

August 22Aug 22 So I'm guessing our timeline from here looks something like this: Next couple of weeks - Announcement of 3 perm rivals for each school Late Septemberish - Announcement of '26 opponents and locations October - Announcement of '26 schedule Next summer - Announcement of '27 schedule Edited August 22Aug 22 by TrashMaster G

That interview is worth a listen if you can find it. Finebaum overtly talked shit about Cignetti and Sankey subtly threw some barbs as well.

I can see why aggy wants to play this game every year, based on their record since 2014. 8-2, but trending the wrong way for A&M. Both of those losses have been in the last three years. USCe won't be an easy out, even in College Station this year. LaNorris Sellers is going to be an absolute monster.

August 24Aug 24 to complete the list of fbs in the State of Texas..... north texas, rice, sam houston, texas state, utep and utsa we haven't played smu in 30 years, and i don't ever remember them blaming us for their problems or acting like dicks, which would decisively put them in a different category than rape, roach,cougar high and tceh who can all call us in the year 2100, and we might pick up years we need an extra home game: state, utep, utsa years we can afford an extra away game, alternate between nrg/samhouston/rice and deathstar/smu/unt, straight 1-offs, no 2-1, it's really our home game just played in dallas or houston no louisiana directionals at all also, we've played new mexico 3 times, last in 2012; and they should be on our rotation utep and utsa and only utep and utsa is going to get boring fast

It’s not pretty, but it’s a third UT System option. We have history with UTEP. We’ll never you forget hand job man. I doubt we’ll give Rice another game in Houston. CDC wants as many home games as possible. I’d caution scheduling SMU. The surly HP dudes are adamant they’re playing LSU at Ford Stadium in 2029. They’re not going to roll over and give Texas a home game at Jerryworld. Edited August 24Aug 24 by billfromlaketravis
August 25Aug 25 I doubt we play any away games in the OOC going forward in-state. We're not going to play SMU or Rice away from DKR. We don't need to go to Dallas as that's an annual event. The one off with UCLA was because they wanted to play a neutral site in Arlington. I doubt we have any desire to play at JerryWorld ever again outside of the playoff. Edited August 25Aug 25 by mdmost
