Where was this concern in the past? We’ve played Monday night games followed by

Saturday games in the past. Was it not an injury concern back then?

And maybe I don’t understand what you mean by “prepare.” Will preparation reduce injuries?

EDIT: sorry, you didn’t say “prepare”. I was reading others posts. What I meant was, why would scheduling Wednesday for Saturday (with only 2-3 days to prepare) cause more injuries than if this same game had been scheduled for this Saturday say...a month ago?

Hey Holmoe, you free Saturday?

I like having 2 weeks to prep for Army

I think Army much prefers the 2 weeks for us — than vice-versa.

And Baylor would want to play us why?

Good point. Couldn't hurt to ask!

A little late for game prep there.

It generally takes more than three days to get ready for a game.

Still Open

That'd be cool, but Holmoe has already gone on record saying they will leave

Same with OK State

2 days game prep?

It'd be the same for Baylor - We'd be on equal footing!

And even if coaches admit it or not, game prep usually starts weeks ahead of

Baylor wouldn’t agree to that right now

9/9/20 8:28am

This is the perfect example of why it is safer to keep kids on campus and play

As Pat Hill at Fresno St. used to say: "Anybody, Anytime, Anywhere"

9/9/20 8:54am

I’m a bit surprised at how many of you want nothing to do with this game

9/9/20 9:01am

In addition, the athletic department needs any game they can get their hands on

Game on Monday on east coast, then travel to Texas for a game Saturday that you

BYU had played a whopping 5 Monday games in their history. 3 of them bowl games

Monday to Saturday? I can't recall that ever in my lifetime

Well, I guess I’m wrong then. I thought I remembered it happening a couple of

Overall, you’re right. But the sentiment I disagree with is the idea that only

Need a lot more lead time to pull off a football game

Hill4Heisman

This game will be rescheduled rather then cancelled

runningryan

Unlikely to be rescheduled for this season. Neither school has openings

DavidBenoit

You are assuming the season isn’t extended into December

runningryan

Yes, that is correct.

DavidBenoit

its a good point that dates could open up, but once conference play gets going

Baylor has an opening on November 21. BYU and BAYLOR should play on that day.

This is a week with low college football TV inventory. So tv channels

An away game at Baylor on Saturday is impossible to pull off.

DavidBenoit

9/9/20 2:29pm

not impossible. I can understand if BYU chooses not to and perhaps Baylor is

I disagree. It is basically impossible.
