Teams played as an Independent that you wish Holmoe would never schedule again:

Wasn’t the MTSU a 2/1?

Notre Dame.

spugeddy24

11/17/19 3:57pm

Yeah we shouldn’t give them a return game to Provo

DieHarder

11/17/19 3:59pm

They ain’t coming. Collect the check and move on.

spugeddy24

11/17/19 4:01pm

Or do you prefer we give them two more home games

spugeddy24

11/17/19 4:02pm

UMass, liberty, any MAC team

Toledo, Northern Illinois

I’m OK with playing these two, but could be 2:1s, ideally.

chilango

11/17/19 4:20pm

I don’t think it’s reasonable to complain about games scheduled we couldn’t even win. Should be no

The 2016 Toledo game was one of the best games I’ve been to.

Disagree. Don’t help to legitimize Falwell and his minions.

chilango

11/17/19 4:18pm

Minions? Come on, we've been hit with that rationale. Not cool.

I agree with Coug4life

Agree on Liberty. And all FCS teams — I wish we’d stop scheduling them. I would

chilango

11/17/19 4:16pm

Yes, no FCS teams, ever.

cougarmeister

11/17/19 4:23pm

I’m fine with FCS in years have 7 home games

Turnpike Lane

11/17/19 4:29pm

FCS games are nice to develop young players especially with new redshirt rule

arizonacougarfan

11/17/19 4:35pm

Only one. UMass. Fine with Liberty.

KL2BYU

11/17/19 6:08pm

Utah

11/17/19 4:24pm

CUSA schools. I’d rather the G5 be more regional when possible.

Turnpike Lane

11/17/19 4:31pm

And no MAC teams either

arizonacougarfan

11/17/19 4:36pm

Disagree. I think we need to play all around the country. There are BYU fans

chilango

11/17/19 4:50pm

Then play Indiana instead of Toledo and northwestern instead of NIU

LiveCoug

11/17/19 4:53pm

Bloomington, Indiana is far away from Toledo. There’s nothing wrong with playing

chilango

11/17/19 5:07pm

I'm just saying general area. It's not like there are tons of LDS in Toledo

LiveCoug

11/17/19 5:08pm

There are many within a 60-90 minute drive, including the Detroit and Cleveland

chilango

11/17/19 5:23pm

Sure. Still not my point. Play Michigan State. Play Pitt. Play Purdue.

LiveCoug

11/17/19 5:31pm

Play them too. No reason to exclude MAC schools.

chilango

11/17/19 5:34pm

We're not going to get Big 10 teams every time we want to go to the Midwest.

Mojave

11/17/19 7:57pm

True but travel needs to be limited. It affects winning.

Turnpike Lane

11/17/19 4:54pm

Agree 100%. And 7 home games should be the norm - or at least the goal. Catering to fans outside of the region at the

If they had 7 games, there will be Liberty, Idaho States, UMass, NMSUs.... and

ptcougr

Yes, be as regional as possible.

Benfica1

11/17/19 5:52pm

CUSA and Sun Belt are glorified FCS schools.

Y05

11/18/19 6:42am

I'm OK with all teams - if peppered in correctly. I don't like back to back bads

Benfica1

11/17/19 5:51pm

I think Memphis is the only team I never want to play again

7FootRussian

11/17/19 5:56pm

I liked Liberty. I respect what they are trying to do.

BleedBlueBlood

11/17/19 6:47pm

I felt that way about Liberty before the game. After the game I've changed

Goliath

Their team and fans were classy, their institution actively pursues bigotry,

Mojave

11/17/19 7:50pm

That's the same allegation people make about BYU.

KL2BYU

11/17/19 7:51pm

No, it's not. They literally have classes teaching students to hate Mormons.

Mojave

11/17/19 7:57pm

What better way to combat that than to love them, treat them well, and show them

Goliath

11/17/19 8:08pm

As I mentioned earlier, it's possible to be both in favor of that and against

Mojave

11/17/19 8:26pm

I don't think it hurts us in anyway to play them. I think it possibly does some

Hmmmm....this kind of rationale sounds so familiar. Oh yeah its

11/17/19 9:09pm

As already mentioned, the difference is that Liberty actually has classes and

Mojave

11/17/19 9:32pm

I didn't realize they actually teach classes like that

7FootRussian

11/17/19 9:42pm

The article Goliath linked below references it.

chilango

11/17/19 9:58pm

Here are a couple links, one of which includes excerpts from their textbooks

Mojave

11/17/19 10:14pm

Did you actually read the links that you just posted?? They contradict what you

GSwarriorcoug

11/18/19 2:12am

I did read them, you evidently didn't though. The quote you gave was from a

Mojave

11/18/19 11:46am

Dude, sometimes it is better to just admit you are wrong

GSwarriorcoug

11/18/19 5:05pm

No, you are blatantly misreading it. You wdere wrong, admit it.

Mojave

11/18/19 6:27pm

Look, I apologize if my snarkiness offended you.

GSwarriorcoug

11/18/19 9:16pm

You know nothing then. The links absolutely show bigotry, and you're lying

Mojave

11/18/19 9:48pm

Wow. You are a piece of work. Have a good night.

GSwarriorcoug

11/18/19 9:59pm

If by piece of work, you mean intellectually honest unlike you, yes.

Mojave

11/18/19 10:04pm

You forgot the first rule about arguing with adolescents

Goliath

11/18/19 11:44pm

Can you post a link to the Liberty University Course on bashing Mormons?

KL2BYU

11/17/19 9:51pm

Looks to me like Liberty is very chummy with Glen Beck and took some heat over

Goliath

11/17/19 9:52pm

All these examples demonstrate is that Falwell is willing to compromise his

chilango

11/17/19 9:57pm

Falwell is the leader of the school isn't he? So, I think his position on the

11/17/19 10:06pm

His position was that Mitt was the GOP candidate, and he decided he needed to

chilango

11/17/19 10:34pm

It wasn't just Mitt, it was Glenn Beck (twice)

Goliath

11/17/19 10:38pm

Unfortunately, that's not true. In the blowback over Beck speaking at

Mojave

11/17/19 9:59pm

I don't read that letter at all in the way that you do

Goliath

11/17/19 10:02pm

There's no way to sugarcoat it, you're reading it wrong then.

Mojave

11/17/19 10:09pm

Please paste the part that I'm not reading "right"

Goliath

11/17/19 10:13pm

A graduate-level religion course that's not focused on mormonism?

Goliath

11/17/19 10:16pm

Sure, Here's a few of the blatant parts.

Mojave

11/17/19 10:21pm

There's nothing in what you pasted that says anything bad towards our church

Goliath

11/17/19 10:23pm

It does though, quite obviously. There's no nice way to fix what you're missing

Mojave

11/17/19 10:24pm

Okay. Have a nice night.

Goliath

11/17/19 10:39pm

Actually, my bad, that link is about a graduate course. Freshman textbook is

Mojave

11/17/19 10:23pm

The idea that we're too big of a program to travel to Toledo is the same garbage
