Good luck! They backed out of ours... buncha wussies.
Congrats to Temple. We played them Home and Home in 2008 and 2011. All of those who traveled to Norman said Oklahoma fans were the most hospitable fans they had ever come seen. They traveled around 5,000 fans to Cincinnati.
I guess they wanted to play a different TU for once. Mix it up a little bit.

No, TH just wouldn't do anything but a 1-1 H&H and they balked.

Glad for Temple and hope it's not a true 2-0-1. Two home games in Norman. 0 in the up coming a Temple OCS & 1 in an NFL stadium.
Cheers!

No we backed out, TH did not want to have only five home games that year.

He did something similar with Tennessee IIRC
Great get. Temple is an asset for tbis league.
It's a ways down the road but I'm already extremely pumped for this series.
Now we just need the other series announced that will be in the next few years.
This confirms it, a Big 12 expansion conference game, Temple to the Big12, it’s a done deal!
Sorry, it’s a bit out of bounds I know but it was a softball, I had to take a swing. In all seriousness it’s very good news for Owls football.
Congrats Temple fans. I normally say nothing less than a 1 for 1, but Oklahoma football is one of the handful of programs worth a 2 for 1 deal. I do get worried though that lesser P5s will try to treat this as a precedent for scheduling future OOC series. Hopefully your admins will tell them to F off (if it happens).
Great get though. Hopefully your AD also discussed a home and away basketball series with the Sooners.

I would love to see this lead to a home and home for basketball. As far as the 2 and 1 I agree with you 100%, but because of Temple having to rebuild from the many lost football years I don’t have a problem with it for programs like Oklahoma and Notre Dame. Penn State on the other hand is one I would like to see as home and home or not at all (I have a real dislike for PSU).
2 games with Maryland and 4 with Rutgers are already on the future schedule and all of those are home and home series so I’m not too worried.
Don't forget that Tulane begins its three game Oklahoma seies September, 2017.
