Horns add Southwest Conference foes Arkansas, TCU to football schedules

By Staff | Monday, May 8, 2006, 02:38 PM

The University of Texas’ future football schedules announced Monday look a lot like schedules from the old Southwest Conference days. Former foes Arkansas and Texas Christian highlight the list of future opponents, which also includes first-ever games against Texas-El Paso and Central Florida.

The Horns-Hogs matchups will be Sept. 13, 2008, in Austin and Sept. 12, 2009, in Fayetteville, Ark. Texas and Arkansas split their last home-and-home series, with Texas losing at home in 2003 and winning in Fayetteville in 2004.

The 2007 schedule will include Texas’ 82nd game against Texas Christian, to be played Sept. 8, 2007, in Austin and a first-ever game game against Central Florida. The Central Florida game will be Sept. 15, 2007, in Orlando. The Golden Knights will come to Austin in 2009 and 2011.

In 2008, Texas will travel to Texas-El Paso for the first time, with the Miners coming to Austin in 2009.

Texas previously had announced a non-conference home-and-home series with UCLA in 2010 and 2011, as well as several games against Rice.

The Longhorns are still looking for one non-conference opponent per season for 2007 through 2011.
