The author, Kristi Dosh, is one of the better reporters out there for following the business side of sports: pro and college. Now, on common sense? Hell, she married Chadd Scott...so, little to none in that area.
Following up a comment from earlier, I just looked at the future schedules on lsusports.net, and the future Oklahoma series no longer appears on the site (games through 2024 are listed). Interesting because today's paper says Oklahoma has signed a 3-game agreement with Tulane that includes one game in New Orleans in 2021. That game is currently listed for Yulman Stadium, but I have to think ticket demand could force it to the Dome.
Those games with OU have been on and off the schedule for about 8 years now. I think they dropped them for good a few years ago when they made that sidebar bowl agreement
I would rather play teams like OU in one of those opening day neutral site games than a home and home. I think fans would rather travel to some place like Dallas, Houston or Atlanta than to Norman, Eugene or Raleigh for a return game. The 2016 game with Wisconsin is cool because at least they play at the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field.
That's not what we're discussing though. Our AD is talking about a ONE'er, not a home and away. Really? How many of those were a regular season game in their stadium with no return game at TS?
Yes, Tap, I was. It's the thread title and I was responding to it. It's inferred, I thought that was understood. Also, I'm not sure how Terry changed the topic. Had I been replying to what he said I would have quoted him. I'm not even sure what SMH means. Close. 2 & 3 were together with one special note, I said, "I don't see us banging on the door of the Florida St, Ohio St, or Oklahoma to go play there, either.That "the" was because I meant to say "the Florida State's out there to mean upper tier programs. My fault for not being clear.
Imagine my reaction reading most of what Tap, AKA "it's all Birmingham's fault conspiracy theorist" posts. Shaking My Head.
