The Texas Tech and Baylor football teams are making the jump to the Metroplex after all, and they get to go to "Jerry World," too.

The two schools came to an agreement Wednesday on a two-game deal that lands the Big 12 Conference foes at the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium in Arlington for the Nov. 28 matchup this upcoming season.

The second game of the agreement will be played at the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas Oct. 9, 2010, during the State Fair of Texas.

Tech Athletic Director Gerald Myers said the move to the Metroplex provides another opportunity to enhance the image of the university.

"It gives us an opportunity to play a game in one of the biggest Metroplex areas in the country, an area that is one of the best recruiting areas as far as college players are concerned," he said. "Plus, it's a great recruiting area for students for the university. In the whole North Texas Metroplex area, we have probably close to 50,000 alumni."

Red Raiders vs. Bears in Dallas. That'll put asses in seats. I've heard reaching an agreement was difficult because Gerald kept weeping and telling Briles he misses him. Then Leach stumbled in drunk and said something about pirates or midgets or whatever kick he's on now.
