UH v. OU?
It looks like OU may add the University of Houston to this fall's football schedule:
Oklahoma's not-yet-released 2004 football schedule is undergoing an extensive facelift.UH already has tentative games with LSU and Miami scheduled. I would hope Oklahoma would be a replacement for one of those games. Otherwise, that schedule's just much too brutal. Art Briles has the rebuilding project off to a great start, but UH isn't ready to take on 3 potential Top 10 non-conference opponents just yet.According to a source, OU has nearly finalized a two-game series with Oregon that would bring the Ducks to Owen Field on Sept. 18. OU is also close to a one-game deal with Houston that would be played Sept. 11.
If finalized, Oregon and Houston would replace games already scheduled with Florida A&M and Arkansas State. Bowling Green is scheduled as the season opener Sept. 4.
OU athletic director Joe Castiglione confirmed Tuesday he had been in discussions with Oregon, but he declined further comment. The game would probably be televised by ESPN. OU would play at Eugene, Ore., in 2008.
Good for Joe Castiglione trying to upgrade Oklahoma's schedule. I hope it works out, because it was too weak as it stood.

Over at Coogfans they're saying that it's in leiu of LSU. I look forward to playing OU, but I think I'd rather have played LSU since we have a longer history and a better relationship with that school. I am glad that we're not playing three top-10 teams next year, though.

Joe Castiglione. Losing him was the biggest damn mistake Missouri ever made.
...Was a helluva lot more personable than any of his coaches at MU, too.
