Why the five year break?  We'll probably never get that return game, ha.

[PonderinHog]

About time!

[RME]

That's pretty awesome.

[Oklahawg]

Cue complainers and whiners: directional schools not good enough, but now, gasp, ND is too good.

I can't wait.

I think those are different crowds.  Personally, I'd rather start a 10 year series with Kansas. 

[Mr. Porkleone]

Wow. Can't wait to go to South Bend.

Yeah, that'll be a fun trip.

The 2020 game was to balance the 2021 Texas game and 2025 is the first time the schedules matched up again

Gotcha, thanks.

If I'm still here in South Bend in 2020, this should be a fun time. Love or hate Notre Dame, their home game day atmosphere is pretty awesome

2021 is because the Hogs are hosting Texas.  2022, 23, and 24 Notre Dame already has 5 road/neutral site games scheduled so I guess they didn't want to have only 6 home games those years.

[Deep Shoat]

First item on my bucket list. 

See y'all in South Bend.

[247Hog]

This will be fun playing against Bob Stoops and the Irish

We'll have a second-year head coach against their third-year head coach.

Love it! Hope JL put a big ole buyout clause in there though lol.

True that.

Only complaint I have is this...

Why do we get the two years they are slated to win the NC, Geez!

You need to be on the scheduling committee.  A power 5 team and almost assuredly a win every year? Sign me up.

[Vantage 8 dude]

That's the spirit, Mr. Positive.

[Arkansas Fan]

Maybe Notre Dame will have a new HC in 2020 and 2025 so we can beat them. Even one victory over Notre Dame would look good on Arkansas' history.

[RME]

That's the spirit, Mr. Positive.

Wonder how many National Titles we will have by then?  CBB will be 50 and 55 years-old when this ends basking in the glow of his many Arkansan children and successes on the Hill.

We already have a victory over them in Basketball!

I was wondering if ND would be good again by then.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

I do think it's interesting to discuss who might be coaching the Hogs and Irish in both 2020 and 2025.

For 2020 we still have 3 seasons of FB to play before then, a lot could happen for both schools.  Right now BK is on more of a hot seat than BB.  I'd say chances are better than 50-50 that ND has a new coach in 2020 and right around 50-50 for Arkansas.

2025 I'd say 100% chance that both schools do not have the same coach they have today.  ND could be on their second coach post BK.  I know some mentioned Stoops.  I'm thinking this will be PK Fleck's next stop.

Now about the 5 year gap.  It's interesting that the Jerry World deal runs out the year before or 2 years before.  I'm not sure on the exact details but I'm sure someone on here knows.

After it runs out Arkansas and A&M both want that conference game back on campus.  So does Arkansas want to keep a regular or semi regular presence in Dallas?  I know this would be a marquee game for DWRRS but the attention it would draw in Dallas would be huge.  Also I'm sure Jerry would love the game there and knows it would be a hard sellout with ND.  I'm guessing he would be willing to pay a nice sum to get the game.

Either way will be great exposure for the program.

ND fans gotta be excited.  Teams always get much better between the time we schedule them and the time we play them.

Didn't USC suck when we scheduled them?

[BigSexyHog]

Pretty cool.  Think I would like to make this trip

[HF#1]

Now lets hope they don't pull a Michigan.

Now lets hope they don't pull a Michigan.

ND isn't afraid to play us AND Michigan, so kudos to them.

[Scott Marshall]

"It's remarkable to think our historic programs have never met, but we are excited that this will change in the near future as we add the University of Notre Dame to our football schedules in 2020 and 2025," said Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long. "This series will benefit our football program, our University and the Southeastern Conference, but more importantly it is an opportunity for our football student-athletes to compete against one of college football's storied programs while providing a premier match-up for our fans. This series will provide a once-in-a-lifetime road trip and another memorable football Saturday at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

Man wouldn't it be great if we were to beat them and Michigan lose to them!

If anyone was wondering when Notre Dame football would return to national prominence...

...the answer is 2020.

[ADavisTheGOAT]

Looks like I'll be making a trip to South Bend in 3 years.

One of two things will be true by then.

1. Bret will have us on track in his 8th year.

or

2. Bret won't be our coach.

This guy doesn't seem too scared of Bielema.

"For 2020 it should work out, unless Big Brett Bielema has some heart issues in the meantime. Petrino at Arkansas would scare the crap out of me though."
