This exhibition game stuff is nonsense. Just because we lost to Cal and were out of contention beating Wisconsin didn’t matter? Each game matters because it is a game of football we get to watch BYU play in

Not much of a fan, that wife you've got there.:) sort of.

She's the most passionate BYU fan I know. She'll stay up till 2-3am watching

Good for her I guess. But maybe deal with reality, and G5 isn't it.

I hope you're right. Because I don't see us going back to G5, but sometimes I

Every team has 'nothing to play for' after 2 conference losses, which is about

Utah had 3 losses (2 conference losses) but were still in conf. championship

Yeah, but that's P5. You were making a case for G5. Hardly the same situation.

I'm pro-Indy, but this argument is not the one to hang your hat on. It's false.

5-6 of our regular season games are better than any bowl game

It's not that simple from a competitive standpoint. All of our games are front

This!!! We are 2-11 in Games 3 and 4 against P5 opponents since going Indy.

After this year, the schedules are way more balanced.

Dangerous

8/19/19 3:31pm

Not really, we are scheduled to open 2020-2023 with either 3 or 4 straight P5s

Many assume we'd win more games in a G5 conference. That's not the case for now

So youd rather give up 2 to 3 P5 games a year for a chance to play 1 at the end of the year. Keep in mind BYU never

We can still play that many P5 games

shakarocks

8/19/19 3:28pm

4+ P5 games a year? (we have 6 next year, 7 in 2021) No we couldnt.

monkeycowboy

8/19/19 3:35pm

We can play enough P5 games to fit our needs

My need is to work towards being a big boy in college football not playing New mexico or Tulane as an "equal"

monkeycowboy

8/19/19 3:45pm

How have we been doing working towards that?

shakarocks

8/19/19 4:01pm

Upping the money that comes into the program, spending money on coaches and facilities. Stuff that wouldnt have happened

monkeycowboy

8/19/19 4:03pm

What coaches will more money attract? We aren't getting Nick Saban

Okay, go back to G5, and when you get tired of that come back to the Cougars.

It's a factor for recruits

shakarocks

And having 6 P5s in the future doesn't?

puntersarepeople

My evidence is anecdotal

I bet kids would rather play storied programs, in historic stadiums, than play

I'd prefer Indy if we could get a few more consistent teams on the schedule
