USC, Texas scheduling game with flying cars?

Think back ten years....

Pluto was still a planet. An unknown named Lance Armstrong was in the Tour de France and Sega was still producing video games. Boris Yeltsin was the president of Russia and the world was panicked by the Y2K problem. TigerEducated was dancing to "Mambo Number 5" and American Beauty was in theaters. You were using dial-up internet, and Florida State football was still relevant.

Seems like a long time ago, doesn't it?

Now imagine ten years into the future.... I don't know about you but I'm thinking... flying cars?

But not the folks in Austin. No, sir. The Longhorns are thinking... home-and-home series with USC.

The Austin American-Stateman reports that the Longhorns are in negotiations with Southern Cal for a shot to pair the two schools in 2019 and 2020 for the first time since the 2006 BCS title game. USC has confirmed the talks.

"USC is talking to a lot of schools — including Texas — about future football scheduling," USC spokesman Tim Tessalone told the Statesman. "Nothing has been decided or finalized."

Hey... I'm all for this game. I would hope it could be done sooner - you know, before there's teleportation - but as long as they still have football tailgating in the twenty twenties... I'm in.
