Well, I was wrong about no repeats, obviously. I like what I see, nonetheless. 

My logic for what I did think we’d see was rooted in this, though. Were the big prize for home games for all of these SEC backwater programs. 

Hey now, Gainesville has springs nearby.

It's interesting looking at the schedules, all the remaining big name SEC teams get Texas coming to them first. LSU, Tennessee get home games with us in 26. Bama gets us in 27. Georgia gets us this year at home so we don't return the favor until 29. Even lower tier ones get us first. Mizzou in 26. South Carolina in 27. Only Ole Miss and Auburn have to wait till 28 and 29 respectively. 

[aggy] But ol' Snakey is rolling out the red carpet for them damn 'Sips, prolly cuz they're paying him off. [/aggy]

I was curious as what the new guy hazing might look like and here it is. And as others have pointed out upthread, Texas home games were baked into our admittance into the conference.

Meanwhile, OU continues to get a free ride.

We've had an easier go the first two years and OU has faced a slog. It's balancing out a bit.

So throughout all the information blitz yesterday did they give any indication of when the actual ‘26 schedule will be announced?

We civilized folk tend to make plans 1 year or more in advance….

Just buy a refundable ticket to Knoxville every weekend in October (except OU) and the first two weekends of November and then cancel the ones you don’t need. Simple.

On the other hand of the 14 teams in the SEC prior to us joining we saw Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Miss State at home first and Ole Miss and Auburn come to Texas before our road trip. So it was only one game off from half and half.

Texas 2026 schedule: Things to know: Gerry Hamilton

Spoiler

Texas 2026 schedule: Things to know 

The SEC announced the nine game schedules for 2026-29 Tuesday night on ESPN2. As expected, the 2026 schedule is heavy on the Manning family's history in the SEC with Arch possibly being in his final year in Austin. 

There is a chance that four or five of the teams on the 2026 schedule for the Longhorns have new head coaches, and probably at least half will have new starting quarterbacks. 

Non-conference ...
Sept. 5 vs. Texas State - could very well have a new head coach with jobs such as Oklahoma State, Arkansas and possibly Ole Miss coming open. Not to mention Baylor, if things go south. 

Sept. 12 vs. Ohio State - A lot to this game. Likely ESPN College Game Day. Arch Manning revenge game? At least three times playing in less that three years. Chaminade-Madonna High will be well represented with Jeremiah Smith and Derrek Cooper. And more. 

Sept. 19 vs. UTSA - Will UTSA have a new head coach? Jeff Traylor will get to  P4 job in this coaching carousel cycle if he can. Tough job now with NIL, even with rev share. Oklahoma State, Arkansas, possibly Baylor ... not to mention a sleeper interest such as Virginia Tech. 

SEC opponents ...
Arkansas - Will very likely have new coach, and definitely a new quarterback. 

at Texas A&M - Take your most sure-handed holder to College Station. This game could have playoff implications. Elko is doing solid program ascending work in CS. 

vs. Oklahoma (Dallas) - Finally we get to see Arch vs. Mateer. We will assume Venables will be back, for now. Two quality home wins to start 2025. If things go south the remainder of the season, coaching search and #AllSoftballNoBrakes 

at LSU - New quarterback for the Tigers in 2026, but a familiar name from Austin in 2024. Arch Manning returns to his home state for his only college game vs. LSU (more than likely). Manning family history in the Pelican State, etc... all of it will be built up by ESPN. 

at Tennessee - Arch Manning in Knoxville to take on Peyton Manning's Volunteers. Who will young Marshall Manning be rooting for? Cousin Arch or his and dad's Volunteers? The build up for this one will be big too. 

Ole Miss - May have a new head coach (see Florida below). Arch Manning hosting the alma mater of Archie Manning, Eli Manning and dad Cooper Manning. The Manning family history in the SEC will be on full display. 

Florida - Three straight years playing the Gators. The third time with a new head coach, and maybe new quarterback. 

Mississippi State - Everyone's favorite Art Briles will be in DKR, once again. Third year in a row facing the Bulldogs, and this time will be with a young quarterback they love (not like). 

at Missouri - Texas is 6-1 vs. Missouri all-time. This will be the first meeting since 2017, a Texas 33-16 victory. Will Missouri have a new head coach? Eli Drinkwitz will be mentioned in the Florida Gators coaching search along with Lane Kiffin (the early favorite) and Curt Cignetti.

Tennessee next year is set up for Peyton to be the Volunteer's guest picker on Game Day. 

Ohio State in Austin
LSU in BR
Tennessee in Knoxville

All likely to be Game Day games.  Off chance of OU in Dallas too if we are both top 10

Can UF money whip Kiffin enough for him to leave a comfortable situation in Oxford?

It appears that Ole Miss has a well-established and run NIL program in place for him. It's not like Gainesville is on the beach. Will Joey Freshwater demonstrate loyalty this go 'round?
