Please take me off the ledge here with what kalani and Holmoe are thinking????

The only explanation is I think they thought we would be ranked higher and didin

johnnybyu

11/26/20 8:25pm

There's all kinds of possible reasons other than that.

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:27pm

That is true should have said most likely reason. Does anyone think if BYU knew

johnnybyu

11/26/20 8:28pm

They practiced Monday. Then it didn't look like any games would happen. I'm not

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:35pm

Kalani: “From the beginning we’ve been trying to schedule 12 games.”

kcca

11/26/20 8:29pm

I believe that is true. But you can't schedule a game when you give your team

johnnybyu

I thought CU is playing SDSU?

LiveCoug

11/26/20 8:25pm

They are. Just reported.

idacoug

11/26/20 8:27pm

Yeah. As of 2 hours ago. It wasn’t scheduled all week long.

SlantRoute

11/26/20 8:27pm

Yes. But don't you know that BYU could have just told CU that they have to play

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:28pm

Nobody’s going to schedule a game to happen in 2 days. They’re being rational.

MormonThug

11/26/20 8:25pm

SDSU just did.

SlantRoute

11/26/20 8:28pm

Let us know if you find a potential opponent just hanging out along the Wasatch Front for the next few days.

kccougar

11/26/20 8:30pm

SDSU had all those logistics already in place as their CSU game was this week

BYUFam1

11/26/20 8:41pm

You sure about that?

Honestly was repeating what others reported. I do not follow MWC enough to know

BYUFam1

11/26/20 9:24pm

CSU is playing SDSU next week in San Diego. Fresno cancelled on them

stansburycoug

11/26/20 9:49pm

Do you really think they haven’t been talking to CU all week?

All-American

11/26/20 9:44pm

Thought they were going to play in SoCal since CU was already there. Anyone know if that's true?

Soupie

11/26/20 8:25pm

It is at Colorado. That excuse doesn't work. Maybe San Diego is closer to Boul

johnnybyu

11/26/20 8:27pm

Maybe CU doesn't want to play BYU.

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:29pm

That is possible Air Force needs a game as do other teams. Hard to schedule a

johnnybyu

11/26/20 8:30pm

Is it really smart to schedule games' 2 days in advance, though?

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:32pm

I agree it is nuts. But teams are doing it. Cal UCLA did it a few weeks ago.

johnnybyu

11/26/20 8:34pm

I bet SDSU knew CU was a possibility on Monday

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:36pm

SDSU just did.

SlantRoute

11/26/20 8:36pm

Maybe they did. I bet they knew Monday it could happen. Which is why the BYU/SDS

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:37pm

Either way. Byu needs to be practicing and bags packed at a moments notice.

SlantRoute

11/26/20 8:39pm

I don't know how smart that is. Go into a game with almost no preparation?!

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:42pm

Why? The other team wouldn’t have prepped for BYU

SlantRoute

11/26/20 8:45pm

I can see I won't change your mind. I think it's a bit nuts.

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:54pm

I agree. It is nuts. Just like 2020. Gotta do whatever it takes though.

Is playing CU a "gotta do" game

fattycoug

11/26/20 9:09pm

Its better than scheduling bye 3 out of 4 weeks

johnnybyu

11/26/20 9:10pm

Possibly. Still moot. I bet it was CU/SDSU pretty much by Monday

fattycoug

11/26/20 9:15pm

Maybe article on Tuesday saying. SDSU wanted to play Washington

johnnybyu

11/26/20 9:27pm

BYU actually has a limit on games I believe

puntersarepeople

11/26/20 10:06pm

Yes. When you have 1 more game and back to back byes.

Nope. Had been scheduled at Fresno St.

Soupie

11/26/20 9:44pm

No, AFA and csu were supposed to play today

I’d play the Ducks

ChandlerAZCoug

11/26/20 9:20pm

They are worrisome but solid

puntersarepeople

11/26/20 10:07pm

If Colorado had already left for the USC game before the cancellation then that

BYUFam1

11/26/20 8:42pm

That makes a lot of sense.

Soupie

11/26/20 8:43pm

Except it is inaccurate their Fresno game was cancelled

johnnybyu

11/27/20 12:07am

I thought AFA was playing CSU today. Not SDSU on Sat

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:45pm

Problem is the game with Fresno was cancelled not CSU. Fresno is not close to

johnnybyu

11/26/20 11:39pm

Maybe they talked to CU and they showed zero interest in playing BYU. Seems

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:26pm

My point is with COVID, you should be on call for last minute cancellations.

idacoug

11/26/20 8:29pm

My point is that you have no idea if CU didn't already tell Holmoe that they wer

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:31pm

And you don’t know otherwise, do you?

idacoug

11/26/20 8:32pm

No, which is why I'm not going to say they blew something

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:36pm

We just know BYU took the week off and wasn't in position to schedule a game

johnnybyu

11/26/20 8:36pm

Maybe because nothing was likely to happen after Monday. I bet this SDSU/CU game

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:40pm

RE: My point is with COVID, you should be on call for last minute cancellations.

ChandlerAZCoug

11/26/20 9:22pm

They’ve thrown in the towel for getting games. It is what it is.

TeeKaa

11/26/20 8:27pm

You should probaby just jump.

kccougar

11/26/20 8:28pm

Ok jerk.

idacoug

11/26/20 8:29pm

I think players were told no game this week before the Washington drama.

delux_247

11/26/20 8:30pm

And that is POOR planning. You KNOW last minute cancellations happen.

idacoug

11/26/20 8:32pm

My opinion is BYU should try to work out a standing arrangement with the P12

Just FYI.. Players are smarter than you give them credit for.

I strongly disagree with #3

puntersarepeople

11/26/20 8:50pm

I think they will be more open to #3 now

johnnybyu

11/26/20 8:55pm

Agreed

puntersarepeople

11/26/20 9:08pm

Its a logistics problem..

TheLost

Very disappointed

Lavell4life

11/26/20 8:58pm

Very much perplexed by sending players home

stansburycoug

11/26/20 9:15pm

They were not ready. They listened too much to the media. Holmoe severely

Blue2thebone

11/26/20 9:34pm

Not 100% sure Tom made the call to send the kids home

stansburycoug

11/26/20 9:54pm

I’m just so surprised Tom Balked at a P5 game. He totally overplayed his hand

Blue2thebone

11/26/20 9:57pm

You're believing the speculation by people who are making stuff up

fattycoug

11/26/20 10:12pm

Or, are you not believing what wasn’t made up and is true

Blue2thebone

11/27/20 6:04am

They need to suck it up and be willing to play with 2 days notice.

D.T. Survivor

11/26/20 9:45pm

You think the committee won’t think of something else? They want BYU out.

All-American

11/26/20 9:51pm

I think they’ll give an incremental bump to take some heat off their butts

D.T. Survivor

11/26/20 10:01pm

You're assuming they could have. I doubt ANY games, truly get scheduled that

Maybe, Kalani thought they deserved to be with family on Thanksgiving.

oldrugger

11/26/20 10:10pm

Or, that after MOnday, there was no real chance to schedule anything

fattycoug

11/26/20 10:15pm

Family. Isn’t it about time?
