I’ve been toying with the idea of another year of Longhorn Road Trip during the 2007-08 season, but today’s scheduling news has me geeked beyond words. Mark Rosner of the Austin American-Statesman posted the story to his blog earlier today, announcing that the Horns would host Wisconsin and play Michigan State in Detroit next year. Readers of this blog may have noticed my infatuation with the Badgers, thanks in no small part to a former co-worker from my days in Belmont. And granted, Wisconsin is going to be rebuilding next year much like we were this season. But I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to see the Badgers here in Austin and then get to see a game up in ‘Scon in the 08-09 season. Hopefully Bo Ryan will still have some hair left by then. So what’s on the slate for next year’s schedule? Check out this nice package of non-conference opponents: at UCLA in December I was waffling on the idea of another season following the team, but that schedule right there may have pushed me over the edge. You can be sure that I’ll revisit the topic during the offseason. Quarterfinal preview coming at you early on Friday morning before I drive to Oklahoma City. |

I cried when I saw the Wisconsin game on our schedule. There is a basketball god… and he loves the longhorns. He is also possibly Andy Katz.

We all need another year of longhornroadtrip. We on the other (better at dogdeball but worse at super tenie ball) half of the south Ozone are curious if you are going to go around for another full year. Even if you are not keep the roadtrip alive.
