Site Shows North Texas At Tulsa Oct. 1

[NT80]

Not sure is this has already been posted. FBSchedules.com is now showing our game at Tulsa on Oct.1, 2011 and the OOC games are all set. Unless we open on the road against an SBC team Sept 3 then the season opener will also be the home opener Sept. 10 against Houston...

I'm almost positive that's why we backed out of our scheduled game with Tennessee. Administration really wanted to make our first game of the season, the stadium openener.

I'd have rather gone to Tennessee than Bama, but that might be a cool road trip come early Fall.

Just wait a couple months for the official release from the athletic department.

They could have just changed in off a rumor. FBSchedules.com has stuff like that happens all the time.

Indiana is 10/08 , 9/24 will either be a bye or a conference game

If we don't have a game on September 3, then I don't think we'll have a bye the rest of the year.

[Uh Paul in uh]

I like the idea of the first game being the home opener, it gives us a real good chance of starting the season 1-0

[NTEdgex2]

Anybody have any idea about the 10/29 game? Home, away, open? Will have to miss that one if it's here, daughter is getting married that evening.

GMG!

We could still have an open date during the season even by not playing Sept. 3. There are 9 weekends between Oct. 8 and Dec. 3 to play 8 conference games.

I think i would have preferred having a game to kick the rust of before playing UH.

Houston will get beat up by UCLA before playing us...

That's a home game for UH - I wonder if it will be played at Robertson Stadium, or moved to Reliant Stadium. If it's at Robertson, there's another hole shot in the theory that big name teams won't play in a 30,000-seat stadium.

Interesting - UCLA will then play at Rice in 2012. Another school wanting to recruit the state more.

This is a great schedule! Three possible wins with Houston, Indiana, and Tulsa; only one money game at Alabama.

I'd love for us to stick an FCS game in on September 3, just to get warmed up and see where we need polish before Houston hits town, but that's probably wishful thinking by now.

Especially because we already have 12 games scheduled.

Boise State played a 13 game schedule in 2009, including 1 FCS school: Boise State 2009 Schedule

I think the bigger problem is how hyped the Houston game has been. To add an FCS game in front of it would just be kind of a strange thing to do at this point in my opinion.

Hawaii opponents get another game if they want it. Everyone else can only have 12 regular season game.

Well, nevermind then...know it all.

[FloMoGrad]

2 conference USA schools, a Big Ten school and an SEC school.

That's a tremendous job on Rick's behalf.

I think this is a great schedule and having Houston and IU as our 2 OOC home games was tremendous as well.

Opening the season with Houston and our stadium opener is a calculated risk that I hope pays off for us. We'll have an extra week of preparation on Houston, as they open up on the 3rd against UCLA at home.

Interesting to look at some of the future schedules as well:

2014: At Texas wk 1, home against SMU wk 2, and then at Army unscheduled and Home against Tulsa unscheduled. That could be an interesting yr to say the least.

Fixed, I don't deal in absolutes.

[Mean Green 93-98]

Fixed, I don't deal in absolutes.

If that's true, shouldn't it be "know it none"?

[Mean Green Matt]

Fixed, I don't deal in absolutes.

So you absolutely don't deal in absolutes?

[forevereagle]

If that's true, shouldn't it be "know it none"?

Isn't none an absolute?

So you absolutely don't deal in absolutes?

Most of the time.

[Mean Green 93-98]

Isn't none an absolute?

Exactly.

You've kind of got yourself on the horns of a dilemma now, don't you?
