Hogs add ND to schedule

[Tsarcasm]

i agree. i just figured you guys might like a little chuckle.

[PorkRinds]

Unless we get Michigan'd again.

[Steef]

Unless we get Michigan'd again.

True. But we made good money.

[rhames]

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."

Hahahaha.

[gchamblee]

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

My very first thought was "they will let us come up there and then cancel the return trip".

[gchamblee]

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

I immediately thought of you when I read this

[gchamblee]

That's the spirit, Mr. Positive.

[younghog]

I love ND on the schedule..

GO HOGS

[Polecat]

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

As long as we're in the SEC West, I'm 100 percent for this

Yep. In today's CFB it doesn't matter who you play.  All that matters is how many W's you have by your name.

[ricepig]

Nope, we need Clemson, USCw, OSU, and FSU as our OOC games, all on the road.

[98hogs]

Awesome but 5 years is too many years for the return game

[ricepig]

Awesome but 5 years is too many years for the return game

It is if it's your only option. We'll find some good ones for 2021-2024.

[rzrbk4life]

Sweet! Guess i'll have to schedule a road trip to South Bend

[redleg]

I am very excited for these games.
But, Arkansas' luck, by the time the Hogs play them they will be a Top 10 program again, just like Texas in 2021 probably. Hope we can win one of the two games versus the Irish.
WPS!

[DoubleReedHawgCaller]

 They'll have a Heisman candidate after that game for sure. 

[WilsonHog]

I went to South Bend two years ago to watch the Irish play UMass. Best time I have ever had at a college football game.

[Stephen Greene]

Wow

Awesome

most fans don't realize how close we came to playing them for the Natty in 1988

Make sure Ron Brewer is on the sidelines for good luck! 

[RazrRila99]

We'll not get the return game.  They'll find some way to weasel out of it.

[PorkSoda]

speaking of, when do we play texas?

[ricepig]

2021

[bphi11ips]

2021

As far as we know.

[ricepig]

As far as we know.

That's all we can go by, the future schedules.

[OneTuskOverTheLine™]

What's the over/under on ABC's 20/20 having a nauseating year of hype over the year and their name match? Anyone else remember "77 the year of the 7.!!" back in 1977? Over and over and over they repeated that crap.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

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

Bingo.  When I saw the years, I didn't even have to look who was at home first.

[RME]

Michigan cancels on us, therefore every big OOC school we schedule is gonna cancel on us.

How do some of you guys make it through the day?

[PonderinHog]

Skeptically, until about 11:59 PM.

Cut them some slack. Low T affects men in a variety of ways

[rhames]

Speaking of low t...i will be 37 when Notre dame comes to Fayetteville


Wow.

[theFlyingHog]

Wow.

Holy crap I'll be 41. I ain't ready for that

[RME]

Skeptically, until about 11:59 PM.

Until the clock strikes 12:00 AM on Notre Dame gameday in 2020 and 2025 and they haven't canceled? 

[Porkette]

My very first thought was "they will let us come up there and then cancel the return trip".

That was my exact thought when I first saw this as well. Judging by this thread, embittered Razorback minds think alike, lol

[jgphillips3]

This is good.  If we are going to schedule a "name" program, scheduling the most consistently overrated team in college football is a good thing.

[twistitup]

We will go to South Bend w our new Kiffin led offense and easily put up 40

[twistitup]

Hopefully we find some LB's by then so they don't put up 50

[Danimal]

Holy crap I'll be 41. I ain't ready for that

I'll be 60 -- quit yer whinin'...

[RealHog]

My very first thought was "they will let us come up there and then cancel the return trip".

Haha exactly this. Harbaugh probably put him up to it after Michigan took a big crap on us.

[RealHog]

Awesome but 5 years is too many years for the return game

They will have an "emergency" and buy us out for some sexy team before then.

[Hawghiggs]

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

I'm with you.

[PorkSoda]

That's all we can go by, the future schedules.

that and texas's penchant for rescheduling that game.

[Inhogswetrust]

I went to South Bend two years ago to watch the Irish play UMass. Best time I have ever had at a college football game.

So the Irish had Mass.

[ChicoHog]

As a lifelong ND fan and a die hard Hog fan and Arkansas alum this is awesome.  Borderline erotic as Bielema would say.  Tickets will be at a premium I'm sure but sign me up.  I have a couple buddies I graduated with over 30 years ago and we go to a game every year in Fayetteville, that we are going to South Bend in 3 years. 

I have no interest in going to see us play Kansas either home or away.  I want to see good teams and exciting games.  I love the fact we are trying to find some teams out of our area.  Maybe the Pac 12 or ACC are next. Bring it on!

[Sivad]

Home and away vs. the most storied team in college football - kudos to whomever got it done.

[Ben]

The First ever Lou Holtz Bowl.

[gchamblee]

Michigan cancels on us, therefore every big OOC school we schedule is gonna cancel on us.

Pfft, I'm more optimistic than a fat woman with a rape whistle.

[Sow Lancelot]

I went to South Bend two years ago to watch the Irish play UMass. Best time I have ever had at a college football game.

I have a friend who is a ND alum. We've been to a few games there and it is truly a bucket list trip for a college football fan.

[ricepig]

that and texas's penchant for rescheduling that game.

Well, we're guilty of that, too. We postponed it when we set up the original aTm series in Dallas, hopefully it gets played.

[Hoggish1]

Awesome.  I hate Notre Dame.

[ricepig]

So, since there is "no chance", according to HV that ND every comes to Fayetteville, it's just a ploy by Long to sell season tickets for 8 years so that you'll be guaranteed a seat for this game that won't be played?
