NORMAN, Okla. -- As part of its agreement with the Big 12 Conference, ABC Television has picked up two more University of Oklahoma football games and established the kickoff times for each.
The Sooners' Sept. 3 season opener against Texas Christian will kickoff at 11 a.m., in Norman. The 100th renewal of the Red River Shootout featuring OU and Texas will begin at noon on Oct. 8 in Dallas' Cotton Bowl.
ABC has designated both games for a split-national telecast.
Earlier, ABC announced that it had selected the Oklahoma at UCLA football game for airing on Sept. 17. That game will kickoff at 2:30 p.m., central time, 12:30 p.m., Pacific.
All 13 OU games were televised last season, including eight by ABC. Since Bob Stoops became the Sooners' coach in 1999, 62 of the team's 79 games have aired on television including 36 on ABC.
Television status and starting times for Oklahoma's other 2005 games are yet to be determined.
