2019 BYU @ Utah State bumped from conference weekend
http://www.fbschedules.com/2017/03/lsu- ... -schedule/
The Aggies are taking a pay game ($1.5 mill) to travel to LSU on Saturday, Oct 5. Since BYU had been scheduled to play @ Utah State on Friday, Oct 4, one can only assume that the BYU game will move. Current openings include weeks 9 (Oct 26), 10 (Nov 2), and 11 (Nov 9). I'd love to see Holmoe use conference weekend as a week 6 bye since the team opens against Utah, @ Tennessee, USC, Washington, @ Toledo.

Re: 2019 BYU @ Utah State bumped from conference weekend
I'd rather buy out of the game and buy two more home games.
If ye love the tranquility of servitude better than the contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Re: 2019 BYU @ Utah State bumped from conference weekend
Not sure I follow that logic unless it is just to peacock a little superior attitude at our Aggie neighbors. The funny thing is on the Aggie board they are talking about how the Aggies should cancel the BYU game rather than reschedule--with no plan B of course.
What "purchasable" home games would you like? And how would they be better than an in-state rival game?

Re: 2019 BYU @ Utah State bumped from conference weekend
The home schedule in 2019 is:
Utah
USC
Washington
Boise St
Idaho St
People are going to buy tickets if we add Wagner again but I'd try to buy that away game at UMass and turn it into a home game. Add a home game with NMSU, UTEP, Tx St, or Liberty and get a 2-1 with UNLV, SJSU, Nevada, etc.
We should have 7-8 home games a year.

Re: 2019 BYU @ Utah State bumped from conference weekend
This year: Arkansas, LSU if you count the BYU game, SC if you count a neutral site game 60 miles from campus just from the SEC. Every other year TAMU plays 8 home games. There are always a couple from the B1G and sometimes the PAC, Big 12 and ACC.ABYUFAN wrote:how many schools get 8 home games a year?jvquarterback wrote:The home schedule in 2019 is:

The point about Wagner was that the home schedule is plenty strong enough. They don't need to add any team of note.

Re: 2019 BYU @ Utah State bumped from conference weekend
So one in the SEC. If you count LSU's game with BYU as an LSU Home game, then you have to count BYU's game with Arizona last year as a BYU home game.

Maybe 5 teams in all of college football have 8 home games, and you thing that BYU should be good enough to have that every other year? I don't think that that is very realistic.

Re: 2019 BYU @ Utah State bumped from conference weekend
I also like playing the instate schools but they have a responsibility to our SOS. If USU can't be a top 50 team then we should drop the game and find someone better.
