Texas schedules home-and-homes with Florida (2030-31) and Arizona State (2032-33)

AOC says we only have 12 years....

So we might see at least one of the Florida games.

When did Florida finally grow balls? This is great. Arizona State could be a conference game by then (this is bait for the realignment people)

Wait? No trip to Tampa now? Was kinda looking forward to that. 

Not a fan of rotating UTSA and UTEP every year but the LHN needs its cupcake game. 

Also, there are holes in our 2022 and 2023 schedules that still have to be filled. A little strange to not keep the away game in 2022 to Tampa. Maybe a quicky home and home is still in the works.

I prefer helping out system schools over the likes of Tulsa and San Jose State.

Finally a trip to Gainsville. I hope we do a home and home with every SEC team before we entertain the thought of playing aggy.

I wonder if Coach Cake-Baker will even be on the sideline next year.

This....

I can't speak for UTEP because I've never been to a game out there, but UTSA for being a new program has pretty good fan support compared to other relatively new programs.

Are we even going to El Paso as part of this agreement? It wouldn't shock me if we just bought a bunch of home games with them. I know we went out there a decade ago. 

Likewise UTSA.

We're not going to El Paso. Just alternating UTEP and UTSA at home.

We should go back and give some other kid a chance a nationally televised handjob.  We're Texas - we'll make ya famous.

Handjobs for everyone!

So our upcoming OOC has these home and homes on it: LSU, Alabama, Michigan, tOSU, Georgia, and Florida. Not bad. Not bad at all. Playing the best of the Big 10 and SEC without having to join either conference.

Right. This isn't some novel arrangement, we're just scheduling UT system schools for the annual Longhorn Network OOC game instead of some other mid-to-low tier G5.

Just a comment about general fan support.   No, all of the games with UTEP and UTSA will be home games.   

I remember last time we went to El Paso the game started like 9:00 PM central.

We'll see if they stick with it. The Gators haven't played an OOC game against a P5 team outside of the state of Florida in over 30 years, if you don't count the neutral site game with Michigan a few years back.

Was it a Thursday night  game?   But yea it was a late start because they are in the Mountain time zone out there, so it was  8 PM for them.

Texas last played Florida in 1940.  90 years later, the rivalry renewed 2030.  Anyone who attended the 1940 game should get VIP seats then.

Their fans are getting more demanding about this. Fifteen years ago all but a tiny minority was fine saying "we have FSU every year so we can't schedule another top tier out of conference opponent". Now more and more Florida fans want to see compelling non-conference matchups in Gainesville, not just FSU and not just adding Miami, either.

Exactly.  This is a direct response to the vocal minority that think changing conferences would actually be a good idea.  Getting to play the best teams in the SEC and B1G, while not having to play Illinois and Indiana and Kentucky and Texas A&M, is a GOOD thing.

I like this move mostly because it is pushing back the first possible re-scheduling of aggy.

So assuming we don't add a minor FBS home and home, there's nothing stopping us from playing 3 OOC home games in 2022, right?

UTSA friend already talking shit about how good they're going to be by the time we play. When did their fanbase get so cocky?

They won't add Miami back to their OOC schedule full-time. Spurrier dropped them when he first came on board because they were getting whipped by the Canes every year. One of my partners is a Gator grad and I agree about their fans being demanding about it. Before Kirby came on the scene at UGA, the SEC East division was hot garbage.

I’m glad my descendants will be enjoying some quality longhorn football games. Maybe I should put a clause in my will requiring them to put a scoreboard at my grave site.

Their fan base got pretty cocky last time we played out there

UTSA, not UTEP.

They  should be demanding their game with UGA be moved back to their campus. 

I’m a little disappointed they didn’t set up the CSU as a 2 for 1. A trip to Fort Collins would be awesome

You're way past the middle of your life, especially considering your height to weight ratio.

This would make you The First Lady of The Surl.  So you would have that going for you, which is nice.

In for the long thread!

Thousands of business trips will surreptitiously extend a day or days to conclude that Friday, along with massive unaccounted-for mysterious cancellations of all PHX flights to AUS, DAL, DFW, HOU, IAH, etc.

Regarding the fantasy of another marquee home and home in 2022 and 2023, here are teams that need opponents at glance for those 2 seasons:

-Notre Dame (I think we had them scheduled for this cycle but they backed out to play OSU. Either way, if we were on their schedule these two seasons, they would have one of the toughest schedules in history both years.)

-Washington (I have to believe they're looking for a marquee match-up on their end for both years)

-Stanford (they've got room. It would be a tough deal for them.)

-Florida State (They have UF and no one else in the non-con so far for both seasons)

I got bored after that. Probably some others, but I'm sure we'll wind up with something like NMSU and La Monroe in those years.

I’m more than a little disappointed. Can’t say for sure I’ll still be living in Wyoming in 5 years but that would have been great to drive down for.
