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

So what happened to any time any place?

BlueFrog Hall of Fame

Wow. What the heck. Play it!

11/22/20 5:00pm

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

11/22/20 5:07pm

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

Gandolfthewhite

11/22/20 7:02pm

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

11/22/20 5:10pm

Yep. Their OOC rules are ridiculous

spugeddy24

11/22/20 5:08pm

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

Dr T-bone

11/22/20 5:10pm

So refusing to play an unranked team makes us look bad? So if Oregon State. ....

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

11/22/20 5:53pm

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

IceCreamButt

11/22/20 5:45pm

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

BlueFrog

11/22/20 5:47pm

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

Traveshamockery

11/22/20 6:07pm

Tuiaki...

CaliWG

11/22/20 5:14pm

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.

delux_247

11/22/20 5:22pm

I would imagine this is the reason

Chance at playoffs may never come around again. Play the game, go for it!!!

zerome4sooners

11/22/20 5:55pm

"Sources tell me" ... why cant you go record for something as benign as that

Avery

11/22/20 6:03pm

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

Cougar8Duck

11/22/20 6:03pm

We never said, "Any conditions"
