we play Utah, USU, and Boise on an almost yearly basis. That's 3 rivalries.

And with Hawaii's new coach not being a crabby, Ex-BYU employee with an ax I could see that annual series being reinstated. We have 3-4 annual rivalries, people just hate them because we always lose and/or the other team sucks.

For those that would love to go the AAC or back to the MWC, there is no way we

Next year's schedule is basically an AAC or MWC schedule.

4 or 5 quality national showcases plus some (theoretical) stat stuffers might be

Can't underestimate games vs Boise, SDSU, USF, and USU. All 4 could be ranked.

Richbyu

4/15/19 2:30pm

Didn't USF and SDSU both finish with 7 wins? Where is ranked coming from?

Lip Gallagher

4/15/19 2:53pm

Both were ranked early on last year - I know SDSU returns a lot of players

BYU Fan

4/15/19 2:57pm

SDSU is my favorite for winning the West division this year. They will be good.

TrueAggieBlue

How they started doesn't factor at all. They finished poorly.

Lip Gallagher

After suffering a bunch of injuries - I bet they are decent this year

BYU Fan

USF lost their last 6 games in a row. They have a LOT to figure out.

Dude...stop it. You're confusing us and hurting our feelings with your facts.

It would be nice to play some more ranked teams. I just wouldn't count on two

Lip Gallagher

4/15/19 7:44pm

No G5 team is playing 3 PAC12 teams at home

mwcoug

4/15/19 2:32pm

Yep. Boise plays one P5 not 4

Coogar2

4/15/19 3:51pm

But the games are actually (usually) on TV. That's a huge difference.

Ummmmm ok. Clueless

Agreed. But we do need maybe 3-4 annual rivalries to make Indy more fun.

Richbyu

Kajdin

4/15/19 2:31pm

I think we need 1-2 more annual rivalries. Would be much more exciting.

Richbyu

4/15/19 2:35pm

So you want 5-6, not 3-4. You asked for 3-4 and I gave you 3-4.

Kajdin

4/15/19 2:36pm

No. I want 4. Right now we only ever have 3. Really need at least 1 more.

Richbyu

4/15/19 2:40pm

I would not be opposed to AAC if it was limited to a 5-6 game conf schedule.

Thrill

4/15/19 2:29pm

Why would they do that?

I'mBatman

4/15/19 3:12pm

It could help their SOS too for some of the top tier teams that need another

Thrill

4/15/19 3:19pm

We usually play 6-8 of those caliber teams anyway. Our SOS has actually been

4/15/19 2:36pm

You are misinterpreting strength of schedule with exposure. I was highlighting

Coach's Dad

4/15/19 2:44pm

I guess I just don’t think Indy has really moved the program forward

Mr. Scoobs

4/15/19 3:07pm

These statements are so crazy

BYU Fan

4/15/19 2:39pm

He would have sat the bench at Florida State, though.

Richbyu

4/15/19 2:42pm

So BYU would still have been a great option even in the AAC

BYU Fan

4/15/19 2:45pm

You said his other 2 were G5 teams. So may being in those conferences doesn't

Coach's Dad

I would hope that BYU should beat out Marshall and W Kentucky

I hope Ty'Son is great for us, but I don't understand this claim.

I agree with this.

Four star recruit.

Coach's Dad

4/15/19 4:18pm

No. According to 247 he is a 3 star transfer. He was 4 star out of high school.

TrueAggieBlue

4/15/19 4:22pm

4 Star Recruit on ESPN

Richbyu

4/15/19 4:26pm

Again, he was 4 star out of high school. ESPN doesn't evaluate transfers.

TrueAggieBlue

4/15/19 4:34pm

Since USU fans don't follow BYU at all, I doubt you really know much....

Richbyu

4/15/19 6:16pm

There's no such thing as a star rated transfer. They're already college players,

Lip Gallagher

4/15/19 4:26pm

uh... okay...

TrueAggieBlue

4/15/19 4:32pm

lol and you take that seriously?

Lip Gallagher

4/15/19 6:11pm

But we are BYU and have some recruiting limitations. So

Coach's Dad

4/15/19 4:17pm

No BYU players ever went pro before BYU went Indy.

Total crap.... It's awesome we got a very good recruit. That doesn't make us

Resurgens

4/15/19 6:24pm

Of course. This is just another incremental benefit.

Coach's Dad

4/15/19 6:47pm

but maybe our overall recruiting is better due to being in a conference and so..

icecougar

4/15/19 7:21pm

Possible. But there are other benefits to not being in a conference.

Coach's Dad

4/15/19 9:45pm

So Indy has helped our recruiting in no meaningful way up until now...
