Bring On The 'Dawgs

Oklahoma State has finalized a two-game contract with Georgia of the Southeastern Conference that will have the Bulldogs coming to Stillwater for the first game in the completely renovated Boone Pickens Stadium in 2009, according to a report in Thursday's Tulsa World newspaper.

The Tulsa World story states that Oklahoma State will open the 2007 season by traveling to Athens, Ga., to take on the Bulldogs in Sanford Stadium (seating capacity 92,746) before a nationally televised (ESPN) audience.

The third phase of the Boone Pickens Stadium renovation - bowling in the west end zone - is scheduled to be completed in time for the 2009 season. Seating capacity is expected to be 60,000.

The Tulsa World story also says that nonconference football games have been scheduled with Arizona (2011 in Stillwater, 2012 in Tucson), North Carolina State (2014 in Raleigh, 2015 in Stillwater), and Clemson (2017 in Clemson, S.C., and 2018 in Stillwater).
