... calls us, or Arizona, or FSU, we just have to play them on short notice on Thanksgiving weekend?

So what happened to any time any place?

Wow. What the heck. Play it!

Agreeing to a PAC game 7 days away means absolutely nothing.

Corn Pop

11/22/20 5:08pm

But not agreeing to it does mean something.

kos

11/22/20 7:01pm

Lame if true, however PAC12 rules are worse.

slowhiteguy

11/22/20 5:00pm

Not if KS and the coaches already told guys they get time off. You may want a game like that, but you go in prepared if

unctoothman

11/22/20 5:08pm

Cause the PAC12 insists that all OOC games be on the road with PAC12 refs.

ldssdl

11/22/20 5:01pm

right but that doesn't coincide with any time any place

BlueFrog

11/22/20 5:02pm

Didn't say Any Refs, though

fattycoug

11/22/20 5:03pm

Look, it can’t be a complete one sided deal. Any team, any time, any place

Refugee

They can play fair or get off the field. Screw them and their high horse.

Division Bell

11/22/20 5:14pm

Inherent in that open invitation was the expectation of a fair fight.

ldssdl

11/22/20 5:14pm

Does getting cancelled on Thursday as is the likely outcome count as any time?

IceCreamButt

11/22/20 5:23pm

TH never said anytime anyplace. Zach did. He doesn’t call the shots

SlantRoute

11/22/20 5:26pm

Your right let’s do something completely ridiculous because our QB wore a slogan

He didn’t say at any price. If they share tv revenues as is customary and allow

I hate those conditions, but I think BYU would get respect to schedule it

Among other issues with the P12 conditions, one big one comes to mind, and I may

Emmett Fitz-Hume

Yep. Their OOC rules are ridiculous

spugeddy24

Washington: "hey BYU! Wanna play this week?" Holmoe: get back to me Tues night"

LiveCoug

11/22/20 5:03pm

*Thursday

fattycoug

11/22/20 5:04pm

Tuesday night is the first CFP rankings. TH wants to see where we are ranked

LiveCoug

11/22/20 5:05pm

Thursday night is when the PAC 12 can cancel the game. So just wait until then

fattycoug

11/22/20 5:08pm

If true, really bad look for us nationally.

zerigke

11/22/20 5:03pm

Not really. KS said after the game yesterday they are not planning to play this Saturday. You don't schedule a game

unctoothman

11/22/20 5:17pm

It’s a perfect campaign to destroy BYU credibility without risk of actually play

Gandolfthewhite

11/22/20 7:05pm

This better not be true

run26

11/22/20 5:03pm

As a P5 fan why do you care?

IceCreamButt

11/22/20 5:10pm

I do think it being Thanksgiving weekend makes it harder. Some guys probably

Champ Kind

11/22/20 5:03pm

You think that player want to visit home more than play UW?

CosmoK

11/22/20 5:17pm

They’re playing college football. Family thanksgiving/Christmas are not a consideration.

WP17

11/22/20 6:43pm

If they are off campus then covid testing protocols may well make fielding a team hard to guarantee.

unctoothman

11/22/20 6:54pm

Right. I’m saying that when you’re playing college ball you don’t really hope for Christmas/T-day.

WP17

11/22/20 6:57pm

I don't think anyone is saying "don't play cause it's a holiday". It's the logistics of Covid testing compliance, having

unctoothman

11/22/20 7:31pm

If true, BYU will lose the benefit of the doubt they have been getting about

Scooter

11/22/20 5:04pm

This is why this story is being published.

Choke

11/22/20 5:07pm

Say yes to the game. If UW backs out, at the last minute, to play a PAC 12 team,

Everyman

11/22/20 5:12pm

Then they can blame BYU for breaking covid restrictions like they already tried.

Choke

11/22/20 5:25pm

If true, this could hurt our NY6 chances. Our SOS is already weak and

Traveshamockery

11/22/20 5:04pm

Would suck to keep everyone away from family over thanksgiving just to have the game canceled on Friday due to PAC12

Mike Honcho

11/22/20 5:04pm

Yeah Pac 12 conditions are absurd.

yahtzee

11/22/20 5:07pm

That’s the last consideration right now

WP17

11/22/20 6:42pm

That’s some weak sauce bull yewt right there if true. Freaking Teflon Tom.

Gerald-DeGroot

11/22/20 5:07pm

it's any time and any place; not any stupid restrictions you want to put on us

byujag

11/22/20 5:07pm

I'm calling BS on that claim.

BlueVU

11/22/20 5:10pm

I assume they are resistant because of P12 demands

BluesBrother

11/22/20 5:11pm

Exactly. If we call out A&M are they obligated to travel to Provo to play?

CaliWG

11/22/20 5:18pm

Which is we don’t publicly call them out.

BluesBrother

11/22/20 5:22pm

It does make us look bad when our argument to this point was "our schedule sucks

rggee

11/22/20 6:20pm

I think Washington waited too late to reach out for a realistic chance to play

Isleofavalon

11/22/20 5:12pm

I would bet BYU says we would play but only if it is actually happening, we

IceCreamButt

11/22/20 5:12pm

We can’t meet unreasonable demands. Drop everything, tell our players to come back to campus, prepare for the game, and

YIsForBrigham

11/22/20 5:14pm

Yep. This exactly.

cruiserhead

11/22/20 5:19pm

But that doesn’t fit BlueFrog’s narrative.

JohnnyComeLately

11/22/20 5:21pm

mine or Zach Wilson's?

BlueFrog

11/22/20 5:40pm

True, cause Zach Wilson is the one who schedules games.

JohnnyComeLately

11/22/20 5:47pm

and I do? I'm just repeating what's been posted online

BlueFrog

11/22/20 5:49pm

Never said you did. But you are the one posting a post mocking Zach’s headband statement over a couple random tweets

JohnnyComeLately

lol. you said it was my narrative. I posted a tweet on a message board. you are very dramatic.

i did predict 200 yards and 2 td's. 🤷‍♂️

BlueFrog

All of that true. Yet, if this is true and gets out, it’s bad optics.

Traveshamockery

CaliWG

Could be good reasons BYU would decline. May have different opponent in works.

delux_247

11/22/20 5:16pm

Or players & coaches may already be away or have travel plans for Thanksgiving

delux_247

11/22/20 5:20pm

I would hope they'd make every effort to make a game like that happen tho.

UW won't even commit to the game... They can cancel on Thursday.
