When he hears that the timing just might be right, Robert C. Robbins’ eyes widen. The University of Arizona president is working it out in his head: Yep, it’s gonna work.
On Sept. 8, Arizona visits Houston. Kickoff in Texas is 11 a.m. About seven hours later, Clemson plays at Texas A&M.
Robbins plans to attend both games.
“We can do it,” he says giddily. “You can make it in an hour and a half, two hours.”
Robbins has made the drive from Houston to College Station many times. In 2013, the former president and CEO of the Texas Medical Center went to see Alabama play at Texas A&M.
