We just scheduled Oregon

Tennessee moved our game back because they just signed a deal to play VT at the Bristol Motor Speedway in 2016. Room for 150,000 and it will probably sell out.

 
Good lord, an entire generation will have been born and in and out of college between the signing of the Tennesse contract and the date that the actual games will be played.

 
This is great. Personally I'm really bored with our non-conference schedules in most recent years. Always seems to be one solid team that is the in the top 25 or close but not really a national powerhouse (UCLA, Washington, Va Tech), one borderline respectable program (Southern Miss, Fresno, Wyoming) and then a couple creampuffs.

The last time we played a top 10 team in non-conference was 2006 & 07 USC. And we got killed, but it was a great barometer of just how far we were from the top. It's exciting to play a perennial top 10 team who is consistently in the national title picture. No more hiding the playbook for conference season or trying to sit on a first half lead. We will have to go all out for four quarters to stand a chance. And that's exactly the type of game I want to watch. It will be great to actually be mentioned on national preview coverage for more than 30 seconds. If we get slaughtered again, so be it. It will just show us we aren't top 10 caliber yet and we can move on to the goal of competing for the conference title.

 
Top 10 teams (at date of game) we've played in the non-conference schedule since Osborne retired:

1998 vs. #9 Washington, W 55-7

2006 vs. #4 USC, L 10-28

2007 vs. #1 USC, L 31-49

We should get Mizzou and aTm on our schedule. They'll both be regular top ten teams now that they're in the $EC.

In 2026 timeframe:

US government will be bankrupt. Default HUGE deficit loans, no social security, no defense, no medicare, etc. (I'm serious). Thus, NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, NCAAF, etc. folded.

Escape from LA and NY movies are real or else WWIII post war......similar to Postman and Mad Max movies.

You know U.S. debt per citizen.......yes, every man, woman and children now owes $53,300!
