Houston, Red Raiders ink home & home series

Get ready for a good, old-fashioned SWC red-out.

The University of Houston has agreed to a home-and-home football series with Texas Tech, beginning in 2009.

The first game will be played on Sept. 26, 2009, at Robertson Stadium, with the second game set for Sept. 25, 2010, at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock.

The Cougars have not played the Red Raiders since the dissolution of the Southwest Conference after the 1995 season.

Here's a little tidbit that may surprise some fellow bloggers who are always so gung-ho for Texas Tech....

UH leads the all-time series with Tech 17-10-1.

Kudos to both teams for inking this game. Texas Tech tends to do fairly well with keeping its OOC schedule at the mid-major level (or above), but an OOC game against Tech is certainly a welcome addition to the Cougars schedule.
