USU is angry at BYU

Yfan atUSU

11/16/12 11:45am

they are always angry regardless (mostly because they suck), so who cares

Who, besides usu, cares?

How do you know?

BYUCougarsFan

USU always hates BYU

kimchicoug

11/16/12 11:47am

True, but in this case, their beef seems somewhat legit.

spoxjox

11/16/12 1:09pm

Not at all legit. They can take it or leave it. It's about supply and demand..

By 20k seats in the stadium alone

BYUFam1

11/16/12 11:49am

many don't realize that's often the biggest factor in 2-1 or 1-1.

cougarstolz

11/16/12 11:53am

Wrong. Not for the visiting team it doesn't.

Scratch

11/16/12 12:18pm

P.S. Naturally the $$$ is different for a 2-for-1.

Scratch

11/16/12 12:21pm

How about TV money? Does the visiting team get any of that?

spoxjox

11/16/12 1:10pm

No, not usually.

Scratch

11/16/12 1:17pm

It's availability, not money

If they didn't play in a JC stadium we might do a 1-1

All they have to do is say "no".

Why aren't they mad at their AD?

BluePuppy

The UNLV games shouldn't upset them, the MTSU game on the otherhand...

BerkeleyCoug

11/16/12 11:49am

MTSU is not as bad as people think, and it's in an area of the country....

BengalCougar

And we still don't care.

HuskerFan2

11/16/12 11:49am

Correction: USU fans are angry; USU admin (all BYU guys) is fine

haroldskilley

11/16/12 11:49am

Someone needs to show them a picture of Logan and a picture of Vegas.

sonofchet

11/16/12 11:49am

They should be angry at themselves for averaging 20k attendance for their best

benny1982

11/16/12 11:50am

Exactly. 20K per home game is just above FBS minimum threshold....

boscatar

11/16/12 2:01pm

Can you blame them?

utahguy12

11/16/12 11:50am

Maybe the are just angry at themselves for not having enough leverage to force a

UCB Coug

You take what you can get, though. In a business perspective,

Agreed

utahguy12

Nope, still don't care.

AFwingnut

11/16/12 11:52am

As you pointed out MTSU and UNLV are in areas of the country.....

We need more games in Logan so we can attract the next Riley Nelson.

Not sure. But if we don't, I would certainly understand them being irked

Amazing overreaction

utahguy12

They can always back out

for $1,000,000.

Scratch

11/16/12 12:21pm

BYU paid USU $500,000 for the extra game.

haroldskilley

11/16/12 12:27pm

Kind of (and it was 550K to be exact).

Scratch

11/16/12 12:38pm

Neat... do you have a copy of the contract?

haroldskilley

Awesome! So USU gets to broadcast the Provo games, huh? That's fair.

spoxjox

11/20/12 1:49pm

It's actually quite comical when USU fans talk about this...

lawyer

11/16/12 11:54am

these are the fans who called Rose a coward while he underwent cancer treatment

precisely the reasons coach anderson has a short shelf life at USU

cougarmanguy

Number of BYU fans who will make the trip to Logan around 5k

They feel we owe them because they stood firm in WAC to get BYU bb-ball in

relic

11/16/12 12:07pm

I think BYU should sign USU to a 10-year 6 for 4 deal.

lawboy

11/16/12 12:14pm

This is a legitimate solution if USU admin is really as upset as what keeps

BerkeleyCoug

11/16/12 12:17pm

not bad

Yfan atUSU

11/16/12 12:17pm

that seems reasonable

ausgezeichnet

11/16/12 12:19pm

Only if 2 of the 4 road games are in SLC or Vegas

boscatar

11/16/12 1:58pm

we tried but the USU grads said, "That's just a bunch of 2 for 1s put together!"

invisible sman

11/16/12 2:13pm

It's understandable from their perspective, but it's apples and oranges

ocmyhome

USU should look at Wyoming.

That's their choice. They can go pound sand.

jsblue08

11/16/12 3:48pm

No, we can blame them for being mad. Why don't they say no

lawyer

11/16/12 3:57pm

Can you confirm the rumor of Utah being unwilling to every play in Logan again?

haroldskilley

11/16/12 4:41pm

Playing at UNLV is like a home game for us

therock

11/16/12 3:51pm

Then they should refuse to sign - it worked for the Hostess unions, right?

After the Rose and Davies taunting, let them be angry. Classless

So what, we are offended at U of U for suggesting a 2 for 1. That's how it works

mike2744

11/16/12 6:27pm

But nobody expected us to accept that deal, USU accepted it and will accept it..

I don't think most of us are looking at this from the right perspective. BYU
