Oklahoma will kickoff the 2010 football season on September 4th with a home game against Utah State. Then they'll start a brutal stretch of six consecutive games against teams that played in bowls following last season including two teams that made appearances in BCS bowls. In all the Sooners will play nine 2009 bowl teams in 2010.
"We have assembled a schedule that is representative of our tradition. It features intriguing intersectional games as well as the always rigorous Big 12." - Joe Castiglione

Utah State should Oklahoma's 800th win as a program, making the Sooners just the eighth college football program to accomplish 800 wins. The Florida State game will give Oklahoma the opportunity to set a new school record consecutive sellouts with 70. Coincidentally it will also be Bob Stoops 70th game as Oklahoma's football coach.
Its definitely a better home schedule than last year with Utah State, Florida State and Air Force but there is a drawback to it. The season starts with three consecutive home games to start the season the Sooners will only play in Norman three times after September 18th.

Not bad at all
Especially with us probably starting around 7-12 in the preseason rankings.
We will have plenty of opportunity to move up with games against Florida St and Cincinnati but as always, the October 2nd (kinda early this year, no?) game against Texas is the key to the season.

Very early
in fact its not a State Fair game this year.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
That doesn't seem right does it?
Granted it will make getting out of the fair a little easier but still.
I don’t remember the game being this early in years.

well that's cause you are right
the game traditionally was held the 2nd Saturday of October. But as Hazzy points out the Texas St Fair runs for almost a month now, and the Big 12 as moved the game around a bit over the last few years. This is the earliest I can remember as well.
Personally, I don’t care if it restrictive to the Big 12…..OU/Texas should be the 2nd weekend in Oct. Make the rest of the league schedule around this game damn it!

It's during the Texas State Fair
The dates for the fair are Sept. 24 – Oct. 17. See: http://www.bigtex.com/
