BYU v. WVU in 2016 in DC

Gotta sell tickets is why. Neutral games like this need to be near 1 school. We have no neutral type pro stadiums near enough to us to do this, unlike hoops, where we can use the ESA for these types of games.



I have family in DC, so I know I will be there for this one. Probably be my 2016 roadie.

Plus we have grads and fans there, WVU has none in Utah or the west for that matter.

Have you ever seen espn do this when a team announces they are playing a game. Espn pimpin its own. this contract is really going to change things for byu

Yeah, cuz Jake Locker killed us with his running. So did Christian Ponder this year. And that Wyoming kid ran all over us. As did the AFA Qb the last 2 years.



Really? It isn't run QBs beating us lately. Not at all.

AGreed. For the most part BYU has "executed" well enough that running qbs haven't been an issue. Last year FSU just had our number, and this year AFA and FSU weren't only the more physical and talented team, they also out executed the team that preaches execution.

Yeah, who's gonna schedule an independent BYU? Gratefully not SDSU or UNM.

Does WVU actually graduate anyone?

let's hope that the Big East sucks as bad in 6 years as they do now... and that BYU doesn't suck as bad in 6 years as they do now =P

It is reported that we get $2.25M for the game. Yes!

OH, I"m so excited! I'm going to go and make a paper chain with 2,190 links and I'm going to pull one off every single day until kickoff!





Now...what about finishing up NEXT year's schedule...

What about a game at the Bronco's stadium in Denver against Nebraska or Ohio State or someone similar?



Just read in Drew's blog that BYU will get 2.25 mill to play the game. Whoa!

Just a thought, how about making a paper chain for the first 1,095 days, then pull the links off one day at a time after that?



And good luck either way. ;)
