HOLY WTH? Arkansas is going to leave the state for a non-con game? is Frank Broyles dead?2-1 deal with the Hogs starting in 2026.
I agree with all but the final point. Pretty sure he is only capable of speaking/reading Russian at this point. And if Hell is frozen I sure wish it cooled the surface of Earth some right nowPigs fly.
Hell is frozen.
Mitch McConnell read the good book.
And I wonder if Gragg was the principle negotiator on this deal.
Interesting. Wasn't he in charge of the GHC for a bit? Also, I wonder if Jerry O is doing any of this stuff behind the scenes for TU.My understanding is that associate AD Brian Scisolo negotiates most if not all of our scheduling for football.
They should really make one off programs again for these series. I loved looking at the old ones with the game by game artwork.

Yeah I would think 8 games against OSU and 3 vs Arkansas that aren't one off buy-me games is pretty significant. Now if we can get Ohio State or Texas or Michigan St to agree to one road game as a show of good faith for us going to those places and being a whipping boy, that would be a real coup and boost.The most significant day for the athletic department since we joined the conference.
This should hopefully put to bed any speculation regarding the demise of football.
Nice work folks.
Will Les Miles play anywhere he is not required to play that doesn't have natural grass on the field?I’d be fine with KState or Kansas. Nail down all the old regional series.
No one I would rather beat!Will Les Miles play anywhere he is not required to play that doesn't have natural grass on the field?
KState would be a good series and tie it to another series in basketball.

I mentioned this in Hurricane Alley earlier, but yes, he was. Same with the OSU deal.And I wonder if Gragg was the principle negotiator on this deal.
In Snyder's defense, his scheduling philosophy when he took over was to get his players to understand how to win. They routinely had the softest schedule in the Big 8 in terms of non-conference games. Even in the years where they were getting high win totals and challenging for Big 8/Big XII titles, they were playing a super soft noncon schedule. Once they made it back, it didn't necessarily make sense to play in Tulsa because he already cornered the market on the Lockett family.Hopefully the new K-State coach is a little less stubborn than Snyder. We beat those guys the last 6 times we played them then he took over and refused to continue scheduling us.

Probably the most significant day in the most significant year....with the new $7M TV contract and its expanded national exposure. And throw in a very fine basketball recruiting class. What a long journey from going independent and withdrawing from Missouri Valley, the Denver Airport thing, and now to today's announcement of the Arkansas series. All the hard work and perseverance is paying off, paying off in a huge way.The most significant day for the athletic department since we joined the conference.
This should hopefully put to bed any speculation regarding the demise of football.

While I respect the professionalism of Dr. Gragg and Brian protecting TU’s interests, I also do not underestimate the role of ESPN pressuring P5 opponents to schedule AAC schools to enhance the value of their investment and the role of BOK paying for name rights to offset any potential lost or unrealized revenue. So I’m skeptical of the true role of TU here.I mentioned this in Hurricane Alley earlier, but yes, he was. Same with the OSU deal.

It’s not like TU called over to Stillwater or Fayetteville and they finally answered the phone. Those schools didn’t seek out this opportunity on their own for the first time in 20 years or succumb to the beguiling charisma of Dr Gragg or buy into the picturesque setting of Chapman Stadium that creates the excitement and pageantry of college football that OSU wants to be a part of.
People other than TU, along with market forces making cost cutting necessary, forced these schools to the table. But I don’t effing care. I’ll take this arrangement and if credit goes around TU thats deserved or under deserved, that’s cool.
