UNT-LSU game

I did a little asking around today about the status of the UNT-LSU football game next season. Take it for what it's worth, but an LSU official said that the school is trying to set up a home-and-home series with a BCS conference opponent beginning next season.

The official said LSU might have to move a game to make room for the new series on its schedule, but at this point it does not plan on moving the UNT game.

UNT athletic director Rick Villarreal said the school is still working on moving a few games around and will not have its schedule finalized for a few weeks.

It should be interesting to see how UNT's schedule shapes up, but at this point, a couple of scenarios seem possible. The UNT-LSU game is moved back to later in the season to accommodate an LSU game against a BCS opponent or UNT heads to Baton Rouge for a big payday and a potential beat down at the hands of the defending national champion to open the season.

UNT will host Tulsa on Sept. 6 and play at Kansas State on Sept. 27 in two other non-conference games. Both Tulsa and KSU have released their schedules.
