boscatar Walk-on

So, let's look to play Notre Dame again on national television. Much better than collecting a check.

Meanwhile, we can still look for marquee games in Provo like Clemson and Texas A&M to add to our growing list of great home games, like Wisconsin last year and UCLA and Texas before that and USC, Washington, Michigan St., Tennessee, Stanford, etc.

Upcoming games being negotiated:

The Y's Insider

9/20/18 10:23am

I would love all of those. Less so Wyoming but I will take it. That would be great

cougarmanguy

9/20/18 10:24am

Already announced, correct?

AD4

9/20/18 10:25am

yes - at least from the Wyoming side

cougarmanguy

9/20/18 10:27am

Aside from WY and SDSU I think this is all speculation (wishful thinking)

Benfica1

9/20/18 11:50am

What has been confirmed about SDSU?

GOR

9/20/18 1:12pm

SDSU is on the 2019/20 schedule. Playing WY in 2022/4.

Benfica1

9/20/18 2:03pm

So, additional games being negotiated with SDSU and Wyoming?

boscatar

9/20/18 10:24am

What does being negotiated?

Archaea

9/20/18 10:25am

Trying to work out agreements. Nothing "done".

The Y's Insider

9/20/18 10:28am

If we do a neutral site with Notre Dame, it must be Vegas. That's the only way

boscatar

9/20/18 10:25am

ND already owes us two games in Provo. I wouldn't schedule any more until

Hinta

9/20/18 10:29am

I think technically they only owe us one, no? The second one would be on the

chilango

9/20/18 10:30am

Two 2 for 1 deals. They just owe one game in Provo to finish that one deal. The other 3 are cancelled already I think.

Turnpike Lane

9/20/18 10:31am

I'd be OK if they finished the 2-for-1 by playing us in Las Vegas

Richbyu

9/20/18 10:37am

Only if they gave us all of the ticket/TV revenue.

dYrtbYkerYder

9/20/18 3:33pm

1 game in Provo OR $1mil buyout. I'd rather play ND in Vegas than not play

boscatar

9/20/18 10:46am

No way would it be the "moral" thing for ND not to give us a home game...I can't

BlooCoog

9/20/18 1:44pm

It's not moral to follow the contract terms and pay the negotiated buyout?

boscatar

9/20/18 3:50pm

Is it moral to cheat on your spouse as long as there is a contractual prenup in place to assess "buyout" damages?

SingleStrapBackpack

9/20/18 3:57pm

I'll take logical fallacies for 300, Alex

boscatar

9/20/18 4:07pm

if you have a prenup and cheat/get divorced, aren't you following the contract terms and paying the negotiated buyout?

SingleStrapBackpack

9/20/18 4:27pm

A more appropriate comparison would be a business contract...not infidelity

boscatar

9/20/18 4:43pm

regardless of the rest, for the record – of course I also think infidelity is immoral 🙂

SingleStrapBackpack

9/20/18 5:31pm

Exactly. He is clueless on business dealings.

Cougstreak

9/21/18 12:35am

btw, cheating on a spouse is definitely immoral

boscatar

9/20/18 4:08pm

How's this thread get so side-tracked???

Y-Zag

9/20/18 5:38pm

What if the spouse is Bin Laden? Ha! 🙂

whitey1980

9/21/18 1:53am

It would be moral to pay the contract or play in Provo.

Cougstreak

9/21/18 12:34am

ND is currently ranked 8th.

BlueBeliever

9/21/18 1:44am

ND will fulfill the terms of the contract. We do not know the terms.

ParentingNotForSissy

9/20/18 12:11pm

ND would want to use it as a recruitment trip. CA or TX etc

Cougstreak

9/21/18 12:29am

ND better be Vegas. (...tip of the hat to boscatar)

Florwood

9/20/18 10:26am

in the raiders stadium

Deleted

9/20/18 10:26am

Yeah, Detroit would be a home game for them, there are tons of Golden Domers

chilango

9/20/18 10:28am

Every neutral game is a home game for ND. A lot of road ones too.

jsjohnson1278

9/20/18 2:06pm

Not necessarily. A lot of Notre Damers I know were complaining the last couple

chilango

9/20/18 3:52pm

RE: Not necessarily. A lot of Notre Damers I know were complaining the last

Cougstreak

9/21/18 12:37am

ND owes BYU a game in Provo first.

Benfica1

9/20/18 11:55am

I love most of those, but are you sure it's yet another H/H with Wyoming? I hope

chilango

9/20/18 10:26am

Boise State is probably working on a game with BYU right now.

Benfica1

9/20/18 11:56am

Any chance Arky, Clemson, A&M and Notre Dame are in November?

boscatar

9/20/18 10:27am

Nope.

TailgateU

9/20/18 4:07pm

Notre Dame better be in Vegas

CaliWG

9/20/18 10:27am

Notre Dame will be 1 game in a neutral venue after we play 1 game in South Bend

frontrowcougar

9/20/18 10:28am

Are you hearing this, or just a guess?

Richbyu

9/20/18 10:29am

It's just a joke. An angry, bitter joke. ND can kiss my hiney.

frontrowcougar

9/20/18 10:34am

Not sure why we'd agree to that. I'd rather just take the buyout.

chilango

9/20/18 10:29am

A neutral is obviously not in the spirit of the original deal, but...

byujdmba

9/20/18 10:31am

I would take a neutral in Dallas or Vegas. Not Detroit--not appealing.

Richbyu

9/20/18 10:34am

A neutral site game in Detroit would be cool at some point, but not as a

chilango

9/20/18 10:37am

Yeah. There'd be about 2,000 BYU fans at that game. Vegas would be majority BYU

Richbyu

9/20/18 10:38am

Sure, but not with yet another game in South Bend as part of the deal. And the

chilango

9/20/18 10:35am

I'd be okay with a H/N series with ND after they complete the last 2 for 1

CaliWG

9/20/18 10:32am

... with the neutral site being in Chicago...

NewMexiCoug

9/20/18 11:52am

Right - the "neutral" site in Chicago 😉

MajorPain

9/20/18 1:32pm

ND will only do a neutral site game that is close to a recruiting base for them.

Cougstreak

9/21/18 12:27am

I'd love to play ND two more times and have one in South Bend. I haven't been to SB for a BYU game yet, and would love

MaxxPower

9/21/18 4:24pm

A schedule that gives us the best chance to beat strong P5s is better than tours

MajorPain

9/21/18 5:59pm

Don’t want anything to do with ND until we get our return game

spugeddy24

9/20/18 10:29am

Exactly. They can come to Provo. A neutral with them isnt that awesome.

Turnpike Lane

9/20/18 10:32am

Put it in Vegas. Close enough for us to pack it.

TailgateU

9/20/18 4:07pm

no. home or bust.

jkccoug

9/20/18 5:02pm

It was embarrassing how much BYU kissed ND's rear end....

Richbyu

9/20/18 10:36am

Well, we thought they had our backs when we went indy.

Archaeovagrant

9/20/18 2:40pm

Yep. They need to show up in Provo.

ataylor

9/20/18 10:46am

You're missing the point that the games are guaranteed for NBC or ABC broadcast

boscatar

9/20/18 10:50am

There’s another point which is to get marquee games in Provo. Add to that the

ataylor

9/20/18 10:59am

Except that ND told TH that they will buyout the game rather than play in Provo

boscatar

9/20/18 11:32am

Huh. ND isn't shy about being pansies

Ironhide

9/20/18 11:52am

Then let them buy out the game. We'll take the cash

spugeddy24

9/20/18 1:07pm

Look at last weekend's game - on ABC. Skip ND and get a game w/ another national

unctoothman

9/20/18 12:05pm

Not me. ND deserves nothing at this point. We can play plenty of other teams.

spugeddy24

9/20/18 1:07pm

In Provo?

Cougstreak

9/21/18 12:39am

How much of this do you think has to do with TH and being too nice

Punk Philosopher

9/20/18 2:37pm

I don't think BYU has ever played Clemson or Arkansas

CougarsFanSince80s

9/20/18 10:36am

They haven't

Indy Coug

9/20/18 10:37am

Notre Dame needs to come to Provo before we do any other games with them

Huge Manatee

9/20/18 10:38am

Not gonna happen. ND will buy us out before coming to LES.

The Y's Insider

9/20/18 10:41am

Free money then. I like it.

mudpupper

9/20/18 10:42am

Then take the money. ND can stick it.

Turnpike Lane

9/20/18 10:44am

Amen to this. No integrity by ND not to fulfill the contract.

Bostonblue

9/20/18 1:10pm

Then take the money. I don't care about playing them that much

Huge Manatee

9/20/18 10:47am

Why? We signed a contract that allows them to buyout the last game.

boscatar

9/20/18 10:51am

Who are you, 80k? Every contract has a "buyout"

Huge Manatee

9/20/18 10:53am

I'm not looking to make or collect the buyout.

boscatar

9/20/18 11:33am

Why does ND refuse to come to Provo?

CT98

9/20/18 3:37pm

Because they suck.

joelvandyne

9/20/18 3:38pm

They agreed to play ACC teams, money and full schedule for road games

I would be happy for BYU plays in South Bend again. Seeing a game there is a

Clemson? I'll be shocked. Can't remember the last time they went farther away

Left Shark Coug

9/20/18 10:58am

Good because Utah isn’t the Midwest

YIsForBrigham

9/20/18 11:13am

Sure, lots of guys from Utah at Clemson.

Left Shark Coug

9/20/18 11:16am

Clemson? That would be cool. I'd like to watch their guys run down the hill.

I’d much rather see teams like....

Pretorian

9/20/18 12:42pm

uh, why?

TPcoug

9/20/18 12:43pm

because they are more winnable P5s (not saying I agree with Pretorian, just stating what I'm sure is his reason)

SingleStrapBackpack

9/20/18 12:52pm

You got it 👍🏼

Pretorian

9/20/18 1:18pm

I get it. Winnable P5’s. I’m sure Tom Holmoe is trying for those as well.

SouthernBlueBlood

9/20/18 12:53pm

Gotta have a mix. Arizonas and Cals mixed with Wisconsins and Washingtons

YIsForBrigham

9/20/18 12:55pm

Totally agree, if we could do 3 or 4 winnable P5 with 1 or 2 big names plus

Ideally I think we want a schedule like this:

chilango

9/20/18 6:24pm

I like playing Hawaii but it significantly reduces our flexibility

YIsForBrigham

9/20/18 6:32pm

It gives us an extra game every other year. That's worth it, plus a hawaii trip

TailgateU

9/22/18 7:52am

I agree. My only quibble is I don’t think we get much out of playing Utah State

chilango

9/20/18 6:18pm

I live in aggie-infested territory. So I love the USU game.

You live in Ogden?

Southern Idaho, close enough USU gives kids in-state tuition.

I agree on both accounts. But usu is probably here to stay as an annual matchup.

3,000 s.f. is way more house than I need, but I'd love for my football team to be the mansion equivalent 🙂

What - you don't need a bball court in your own house?

MajorPain
