Texas Tech-Arkansas 2014-2015 done deal
http://www.texastech.com/sports/m-footbl...13aaa.html
Quote:The series will begin on Sept. 13, 2014, at Jones AT&T Stadium and will give Tech a home schedule that features Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and West Virginia.
"We are thrilled to begin a home-and-home series with the University of Arkansas," Kirby Hocutt, Director of Athletics said. "Texas Tech and Arkansas had many memorable games while conference foes in the Southwest Conference, so this should be very exciting for the fans. We feel like we will be placing ourselves in great position as we kickoff the College Football Playoff era in 2014, with a non-conference opponent the caliber of Arkansas and a challenging Big 12 schedule."
The 2014 home schedule will be awesome with Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and West Virginia coming to Lubbock. The downside is we play all 4 teams on the road in 2015 but it should be worth it. Especially if Kliff does as well as I think he will. Exciting times in Lubbock.

Nothing like this has happened since the railroad laid tracks through town...
Just joking. Congrats on a non-cupcake game.

Thanks Medic, I know Tech fans are looking forward to this game. 1st time Arkansas has been back to Lubbock since the early 90's. I admit, I'm looking forward to a decent OOC game in a different state compared to the mostly less than desirable schools we have played OOC in the past.

Quote:"With the Texas Tech series, we are renewing a Southwest Conference rivalry and strengthening our non-conference schedule while gaining valuable exposure in Texas," Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long said. "With the landscape of the college football postseason changing, it is imperative that we schedule competitive non-conference matchups that will benefit our program."
Quote:"The addition of Texas Tech gives us a quality non-conference opponent for the first two years when the world of college football changes with the playoffs in 2014," head coach Bret Bielema said. "We anticipate strength of schedule being a factor in deciding which teams are selected and feel adding Texas Tech to our already strong conference schedule puts us in a great position in that regard. There is a tremendous amount of excitement around our program, and this is a matchup our fans can look forward to."
