realistic and impossible are different things. If its almost end of the

workday on Wednesday with no announcement, i think we can agree that the game is not happening.

The La. Tech cancellation was tuesday, so assuming Baylor was interested BYU could have had an agreement on Tuesday evening (to earn at least $1 million as a buy game). Could have had Wednesday and Thursday to plan and practice, Friday to travel and Saturday to play.

Would be unusual for the football world, but certainly doable.

Hey Holmoe, you free Saturday?

I like having 2 weeks to prep for Army

The Dark Knight

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

SinkingQuffa

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?

9/9/20 8:09am

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

mudpupper

9/9/20 8:11am

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

9/9/20 8:43am

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

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

9/9/20 9:12am

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

RockyBalboa

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

9/9/20 9:34am

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

Even if it has happened in the past, it was not a P5 road game sandwiched

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

With 2 days to prepare, plus flights/hotel, etc? Not happening.

Nope

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

Hill4Heisman

9/9/20 10:45am

This game will be rescheduled rather then cancelled

runningryan

9/9/20 10:46am

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

DavidBenoit

9/9/20 11:42am

You are assuming the season isn’t extended into December

runningryan

9/9/20 3:03pm

Yes, that is correct.

DavidBenoit

9/9/20 3:09pm

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

cwilke1

9/9/20 3:11pm

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

cwilke1

I disagree. It is basically impossible.
