so wickedly brutal, plus the Big 12 vs. Whoever "challenges", plus a usual preseason tournament, plus Utah...

Just no practical room for another game like that.

This is something that I want to happen. I like Gonzaga, always have. Now SMC

I agree with Timme. Great game for us.

It's cool that he calls us a rival.

Well utah is the gimmee on the schedule so ...

No way the Big12 would NOT want us keeping a rivalry alive w such a big brand.

They are the class of the West right now to the point I wonder if we can ever

sandiegocgrfan

They've been the class of the west for years, and we have beat them not infrequently.

eventually Few will get old and complacent and start to lose his edge...

TV appeal is what the GU formula has been for the past few years.

10/6/22 3:53pm

That's what I'd figure too. Maybe with us gone you'll make an exception, though.

Well, one OOC slot just disappeared after the GU-UK 6-game announcement.

At least you get rewarded for tough schedules in basketball

It's the Big12, not the NBA Northwest Division

And different from football, you can lose a game against Gonzaga and not have your postseason screwed over.

cougfanblue

10/6/22 4:00pm

Sadly I agree even though I’d love to keep it going

ColonelMustard

10/6/22 3:55pm

I'd drop the Utah game in a heartbeat to keep Gonzaga on the schedule

CameronG

10/6/22 4:28pm

except teams that lose to Gonzaga aren't really punished: no risk, high reward

Oh brother. We have so quickly become what we've hated for decades.

Pope & Few are already on record

Only if BYU wants a guaranteed loss every December

WJCougar

10/6/22 3:22pm

Not a big TV draw for GU

clocker

10/6/22 3:35pm

BYU has a good relationship with GU. BYU should leverage it to make this happen

jamalccc

10/6/22 3:52pm

The players and the coaches like the rowdy atmosphere, but TV rules.

clocker

10/6/22 3:54pm

We won't need a game like that anymore,

Traveling Coug

10/6/22 3:51pm

Why wouldn't we need a game like that? You need tough OOC games in basketball

Because you need a resume outside of your conference, playing cupcakes hurts

CameronG

I'd be in favor only if they got rid of their attempted murderer coach.

too bad the Big12 couldn't just send them an invite for Bball...

icecougar

10/6/22 4:07pm

That’s nice but our SOS will be BRUTAL. We should schedule Cupcakes OOC

Couldn't agree more. Here's hoping we get a series going.
