UT, Oregon may play home-and-home series

Tennessee and Oregon are negotiating a home-and-home football series, possibly beginning in 2010, the Oregonian newspaper reported on its Web site on Wednesday.

"We are in conversation right now to bring it all together," said Dave Heeke, an Oregon senior associate athletic director. "I think it's going to happen very quick."

Years and dates have yet to be determined.

This season, Tennessee finished 5-6 and will not play in a bowl game for the first time in 16 years. The sixth-ranked Ducks are 10-1 and will play Oklahoma on Dec. 29 in the Holiday Bowl.
