Where'd this Vandy game come from!? This is the first I heard about that one.
Well, here's to hoping that some of these opponents are worth a damn the coming years...
The Vandy game was news to all of us.
What happened to our home and home serieses against VT and Oklahoma? Those were set before, right??
No kidding, I thought the same thing. Also, I thought the Cal series was a home and home, ala Miami, USC, Texas, etc? Wierd... I was looking forward to the Oklahoma games
Looked it up after I posted, the Oklahoma series is scheduled for 2016 and 2017. Hopefully they stay on the schedule
