..they will come. Or, so the Cowboys think.
In their attempt to book as many events as possible, the Cowboys are luring Texas A&M and Arkansas to play a long-term series at the new Arlington stadium beginning in 2009. Various media outlets are reporting that the schools are close to finishing a deal, but nothing is finalized yet. The Aggies and Razorbacks will play from six to eight games at the Cowboys' stadium.
Both schools would love to play a game in the Metroplex. Arkansas sorely misses the recruiting exposure in Texas they once had in the Southwest Conference. A&M will always take a reasonable opportunity to play in North Texas.
This is also an attempt by Jerry Jones and Co. to upstage the OU-Texas game, set to remain at the Cotton Bowl for at least the next five years.
Every RV in Arkansas will be in Arlington once a year for this thing. Good luck with all that.

If by upstage you mean make money, then, yes. This deal is all about money. Will it be fun to have another Texas-OU type weekend? Sure! We can always use more assults, DUIs, and Razorbacks meeting Aggies (is there really a difference between the two?). Maybe it will bring back the murders that used to happen in Dallas from the TX-OU weekends ... boy, those were the good ol' days.
Jerry is not a dumb-dumb. He is doing this to make money and that's it. Laura Miller and the city of Dallas screwed up the Cowboy deal and much more. They still aren't making it right and it won't be long before the Cotton Bowl will be condemned and the game will be in Arlington.
HSOs fresh off the grill. :)
