Source: OU-Texas will kick off at 11 a.m.

 FROM DAVE SITTLER'S BLOG:

The date and time of the Super Bowl may be the most-asked football scheduling questions in the rest of the country, but not on either side of the Red River in this part of the nation.

So for those of you counting down the days to the 2009 Oklahoma-Texas football game (as of Tuesday it was 150) here’s an important item to add to your planning – look for the Oct. 17th contest at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas to kickoff at 11 a.m.

Neither school nor the Big 12 Conference has announced a start time for what is already one of the most-anticipated showdowns in the storied history of the Red River Shootout. But sources have confirmed the late-morning start to the Tulsa World, as well as revealing that ABC most likely will select it for a national telecast.

The Big 12 could make the 11 a.m. kickoff time official during its spring meetings, which are being held this week in Colorado Springs, Colo. Historically, some games that have been selected for TV are announced shortly after the meetings.

The morning kickoff time would also allow those OU supporters who are also U2 fans more time to return to Norman before the Irish Band appears at Memorial Stadium on Oct. 18.
