Intervention Needed
For sure.which is why Holmoe should have told his side of the story
If the pac 12 is misrepresenting things.

The Athletic with the backstory on how SDSU came to play CU.

This is the only way BYU will get another game IMHO.

Or talk to other teams outside the pac 12

How many teams are there available?

Or interested? BYU apparently has gotten turned down a bunch

BYU should talk to multiple conferences to be the contingency plan on any given

With UW “needing to move on” that far in advance shows the absurdity of them
Albuq_Coug

They had to do what’s best for them and found SDSU provided the best solution for them. Not absurd at all.

Yes. And yet TH screwed up? It’s absurd to say that UW is justified but BYU not.

I didn’t notice that the portion dealing with BYU was inadvertently deleted

That doesn’t add up. What was BYU doing on Monday if they weren’t talking?

This has been Tom's one mistake this year. Just schedule the games.

It’s consistent with what Holmoe said during the UNA pregame.

And consistent with what the media were reporting. Waiting was a huge blunder.

Not at all consistent with what Thamel was reporting.

Disagree. No need to burn bridges when we still want games.
All-American
11/28/20 7:29am
Don’t have to burn bridges to do that.
JoeExotic

I’m thinking there is some truth to what they said. That Tom was wanting to wait

Pete thamel of yahoo reported otherwise.

Key word here is “if true”. Need both sides.Truth usually in the middle

It’s totally true, Tom blew it big time. Crazy thing is it’s a complete repeat

And you were a fly on the wall and observed it all happen? Crazy allegations.

Not a 🪰 on the wall but the info has all been leaked.

The Atlantic gave details of BYU putting off UW until rankings released.

was a gamble by BYU; would have been a gamble either way; but this one backfired

How was it a “gamble”. It should have been a no-brainer.
COACHdrn
11/28/20 8:33pm
That's not entirely true. BYU was willing to sign UW long before Tuesday but UW backed out when it became clear UW
unctoothman
11/28/20 7:30am
The other part of the article is that BYU ended up dealing with the PAC-12
TempeCoug
11/28/20 7:44am
But that may be the only way we get more games. Be flexible
Bandersnatch
11/28/20 7:51am
I agree we should be flexible but I think with it being Thanksgiving
TempeCoug
11/28/20 8:01am
This was the key...with the players gone and needing to fly back on short notice
ClimbY
11/28/20 8:12am
As an independent BYU chose the wrong time to get conservative with its decision making...you can’t be risk averse.....

The real story is the absurdity of the Pac12 expecting to keep teams dangling

Worked out for SDSU
JoeExotic
11/28/20 8:29am
The difference was that SDSU had already planned on being around all week

BYU practiced on Monday

Yes. Who knows if it would have worked out for BYU. BL - can’t have a 1-sided
Super Chicken

Sure you can. It was a bye week and byu is desperate for a game.

More and more negative press blowing up in BYU's face. They should have

There is more proof that the PAC is more difficult to work with than BYU and it
Idahofallsblue
11/28/20 9:11am
But PAC12 is P5, operating from position of strength. BYU is...not
krindorr

But saying BYU is difficult to work with is BS when you look at the ridiculous

You are vastly overestimating the PR backlash against BYU
All-American

Especially with GameDay just vindicating us.

This makes more sense than all the excuses from CB we have heard. BYU thought

This is a valid point. I imagine they could have started the scheduling process

If that's the real problem they should be more transparent
JoeExotic

SDSU has more money problems than byu, no?
Undefeated

My guess is most schools have a worse money problem than BYU
