Alabama to return to Cowboys Stadium to open 2015 season

[pmull]

The good folks in Dallas want to lock us in early for the 2015 season opener. They will find a big name opponent for us to beat later.

The University of Alabama will likely return to Arlington, Texas, in 2015 for its season opener in the Cowboys Classic, according to UA Director of Athletics Mal Moore.
 
UA's opponent is undetermined at this time.

The annual game sets up a marquee non-conference game at the nation's most prolific football venue, Cowboys Stadium. In August, the Crimson Tide made its Cowboys Classic debut with a 41-14 win over Michigan.

Alabama's return to the venue would secure a marquee out-of-conference game for its future schedules through the year 2017. The Crimson Tide will play Virginia Tech in Atlanta's Georgia Dome in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Classic in 2013 and return to Atlanta to open the 2014 season against West Virginia. A 2015 game in Dallas would bridge a one-year gap before the Crimson Tide begins a two-year home-and-home series with Michigan State in 2016 and 2017.

I hope we get a nice tradition-rich matchup like we did this year.  Maybe USC, Nebraska, or Oklahoma.  I'd include Texas in that list but don't want to play them an hour from their home.  Ohio State could be fun too.

We have to give CNS his "Beat the Tar Out Of Memory Lane" tour first. RTR

Add USC to that list. Wouldn't mind giving ol' Lame a good punch in the gut (provided he still has the job by then).

These are all good games. I would also add Nebrska and Oklahoma.

CB, Lame will not be at USC in 2015. He will get fired before then. HTH

Oh, I think so, too. It would still be great to put a whoopin' on the Fightin' Prophylactics.

It looks like we will play Wisconsin.

The University of Alabama's 2015 opponent in the annual Cowboys Classic is expected to be Wisconsin, Tidesports.com has learned.
 
Although the deal is not believed to have been finalized, indications are that the schools have informally agreed to play in what would be the Crimson Tide's second appearance in the game. Since 2009, the Cowboys Classic has produced marquee out-of-conference matchups at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, including Alabama's 41-14 thrashing of Michigan in the 2012 season opener.

UA athletic director Mal Moore told Tidesports.com this month that Alabama would be returning to the venue.
 
Wisconsin ahtletic director and interim coach Barry Alvarez said months ago that a 2015 game against Alabama had been discussed but did not confirm it was a certainty or that it might be played at Cowboys Stadium.

However, Cotton Bowl officials, who help organize the Cowboys Classic, believe the matchup is all but set.
