Well, there's your problem then. Needed urgency regardless.

I realize Tom was in a tricky situation. But I think we should've been proactively adding games to these open dates at least 6 weeks ago.

As I've said before, I don't think BYU will get any new games

SlantRoute

11/29/20 6:37pm

Urgency wasn’t as strong when BYU looked like a NY6 lock though

Mr. Scoobs

At 10 games BYU is playing more of a season than most.

Mr. Scoobs

11/29/20 6:50pm

Joke or not, that’s the reality we have to deal with.

I think this is it. BYU was trying to land a one-and-done with Marshall (11/28)

BerkeleyCoug

11/29/20 6:51pm

Yup, and no one want to lose to BYU this late in the season.

BYUtka

11/29/20 6:41pm

So YOU brought the bad mojo!!! I hope you and your negative vibe are proud

Pretorian

It takes two to tango. Holmoe can't simply conjure a game out of thin air.

Hypnotoad

11/29/20 6:37pm

That argument worked until SDSU got a game against Colorado.

Nathanael Greene

11/29/20 6:44pm

Colorado wanted to play SDSU. SDSU is a win. BYU is a probable loss. Who wants that?

YIsForBrigham

11/29/20 6:45pm

Maybe Colorado didn't want to play BYU.

Hypnotoad

11/29/20 6:45pm

Maybe, but we were Washington’s first choice.

Nathanael Greene

11/29/20 7:00pm

Utah was Washington's first choice. The whole BYU thing was a PR ruse.

Hypnotoad

11/29/20 7:02pm

First *backup* choice = 2nd choice

BluebloodOR

11/29/20 7:03pm

There was no choice.

RE: There was no choice.

ute15

11/29/20 8:05pm

Should have jumped at the chance to play Washington

miggida

11/29/20 8:34pm

No way Colorado wanted to play us.

Wrong again. Utah was Washington's first choice.

Biyamiti

11/29/20 7:22pm

Sorry everyone, I meant BYU was Washington’s choice over SDSU.

Nathanael Greene

11/29/20 7:28pm

You're just making crap up, now.

fattycoug

11/29/20 7:55pm

Are you new to all this? You sound sorely uninformed. Sigh.

SaintGeorgeYFan

11/29/20 7:51pm

Ding, ding, ding!!!

JKLCoug

11/29/20 7:01pm

You don't think it's possible that CU would just rather play SDSU?

fattycoug

11/29/20 6:52pm

There is no argument against only being able to schedule games that the other

fattycoug

11/29/20 6:54pm

You are correct. That could have been BYU

Blue2thebone

11/29/20 9:05pm

It's all about incentives, if you aren't putting them out there then dont

OC Coug

11/29/20 6:52pm

Do you work in sales? Because that sounds like something someone who works in

Hypnotoad

11/29/20 7:04pm

We all work in sales - it's how college sports has worked for

OC Coug

11/29/20 7:10pm

I understand. I also think there are realistic expectations and unrealistic

Hypnotoad

11/29/20 7:25pm

And you are assuming we are talking about 1 team

OC Coug

11/29/20 7:36pm

You're reading a lot into one tweet. What evidence do you have that he hasn't

Hypnotoad

11/29/20 7:47pm

And that is business - why you pay a CEO and why that person is open

OC Coug

11/29/20 7:54pm

I'm sorry. I don't buy into that way of thinking. I think there needs to be more

Hypnotoad

11/29/20 8:08pm

Yeap that is the beauty of the job - different stakeholders

OC Coug

11/29/20 8:27pm

It's hard to argue with this

miggida

11/29/20 8:43pm

I know what he really means

Miami just schedule Duke for Dec 5

Coug-Ida

11/29/20 9:05pm

Duke has covid

IndepYndent

11/29/20 9:32pm

So it looks like we are on Pac12 watch this weekend. Do we keep the charter

LaserCoug

11/29/20 6:43pm

We wouldn’t know until of an opening until Friday morning.

NWCoug

11/29/20 6:55pm

Sounds good to me.

Plz say sike

thaskoozcoug

11/29/20 6:53pm

I'm shocked that people are trying to pull info from this tweet. This tweet

SUAVO

11/29/20 6:56pm

It’s basically saying we will try to play but it’s not going to be Miami.

idacoug

11/29/20 7:16pm

No it doesn't

2FarGone

11/29/20 7:23pm

Lol.

idacoug

11/29/20 8:08pm

You're happy that you're right about BYU getting the shaft?

2FarGone

11/29/20 8:54pm

I’m laughing that you were wrong as you discredited my thought so quickly.

idacoug

11/29/20 8:56pm

No, it's not. He could very well have sent this out with Miami already scheduled

SUAVO

11/29/20 7:25pm

idacoug

11/29/20 8:08pm

I’m glad he was able to tweet that out a week late. I wonder if he was on vacay

BYU Fan

11/29/20 7:44pm

I’m actually glad he tweeted that out, got ahead of the Narrative rather than

akmewg

11/29/20 8:39pm

Limited options. AKA not in our control.

byujdmba

11/29/20 8:58pm

Is it not in his control to say "I offered to Miami, and they didn't / haven't

miggida

11/29/20 9:01pm

Not encouraging. He wouldn't have posted this if an announcement was imminent.
