International Man of Mystery
Huskers-Sooners to Renew Rivalry

The Nebraska Athletic Department announced Thursday that it has signed a contract for a home-and-home football series with the University of Oklahoma. The two long-time rivals will renew their historic rivalry with games in 2021 in Norman and 2022 in Lincoln.

The first matchup is scheduled for Sept. 18, 2021, at Oklahoma, and the teams will meet at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln on Sept. 17, 2022.

"Our rivalry with Oklahoma has been one of the great traditional matchups in the history of college football," Nebraska Athletic Director Tom Osborne said. "The games between the two schools were generally to decide a conference championship, and many times helped determine the national champion. Those matchups were always played with great intensity on the field, but with a great deal of respect from both sides and among the fan bases.

"I know our fans look forward to non-conference games against high-profile opponents like Oklahoma. I'm pleased we were able to finalize this series."

Perhaps Tom's final major contribution to NU football. Thanks again Tom for the memories and bringing old ones back to life.

 
Thats definitely good! I don't mind having a tougher preseason schedule at all. Would love to see Missouri a couple times every other two years as well. 2 years on, 2 off, switching with another SEC school, like Tennessee or Vanderbilt.

 
Cool news, but the earth will be long gone by then.
