I think BYU missed a golden opportunity with this Washington fiasco

I totally agree.

Good points, I agree

I generally agree. I am not sure Washington is automatically the best team on the schedule.
BYU '80

I had the same thought...

SDSU is still good but has lost close games
BYU '80
11/23/20 1:36pm
SDSU is bad

I think you have to take into account Boise QB situation
Medute
11/23/20 3:55pm
BYU put up 51 pts regardless of who BSU had at QB or RB.

So I went to bed at halftime of that game

As the BSU head coach said, last year we beat them with our 3rd string QB.

I don’t disagree. I’m saying Washington right now is better than that Boise

You're right, but who are we to say the players don't deserve Thanksgiving with

My guess is the players want this more than anyone. They'd give up Thanksgiving
DoctorTimmy

If they are allowing players to go home, expect to have a lot test positive.
Blue for Life
11/23/20 10:36am
This is my concern as well. Too many positives coming out of the holiday

Is there more virus in family homes than in college apartment complexes?

Good point- my limited experience has been in my area that outbreaks have occure

In this case yes. If the football team is being smart and not attending big

Agree 100%, really too bad that someone there didn't think of this.

11/23/20 10:33am
BYU needed to just add an out for themselves such as “if a better GUARANTEED game comes along we will take it.”

But I don’t think BYU wants to adhere to PAC12 testing guidelines foencovid

No one is considering the financial costs

What's the cost of missing NY6?
Z-Ute
11/23/20 12:27pm
Rational take...
Blue Ghost

benefitted by hindsight...
icecougar
11/23/20 3:44pm
While I agree... to play that kind of PR game costs BYU money...
Coug
11/23/20 10:35am
How does that cost them money?
Blue for Life
11/23/20 10:37am
Testing, travel, lodging.
All-American
11/23/20 10:41am
But they already test, and if Washington cancels, then they have to pay for
Blue for Life
11/23/20 11:07am
The PAC 12's testing protocols are much more expensive.
All-American
11/23/20 11:16am
Their testing protocols are not in line with science or reason. Don’t go along with that crap
BYU '80
11/23/20 1:39pm
Exactly. Most of the other stipulations are a pain, the testing is a poison pill
Trent
11/23/20 1:43pm
I didn't say they were. I said they were more expensive.
All-American
11/23/20 5:34pm
that's if the game was guaranteed...
icecougar
11/23/20 3:47pm
If the PAC12 were serious about scheduling games with BYU, they'd have done so.
UCLACoug
11/23/20 10:39am
I agree, except for the part where BYU incurs a load of expenses
Westsider
11/23/20 10:39am
But from what I know, the team that cancels would then have to pay for it.
Blue for Life
11/23/20 11:08am
No, the Pac-12chumps want BYU to absorb the cost.
CougarThug
11/23/20 11:09am
Gotcha, thanks for the info.

You're not bowing down, you are doing EVERYTHING you can to play...
Z-Ute
11/23/20 12:31pm
Yeah you’re probably not biased. When Utah plays uw this weekend we will all know it was garbage from the start
BYU '80
11/23/20 1:40pm
Sure I'm biased and your not?
Z-Ute
11/23/20 2:25pm
Why are you on this board?
Blue for Life
11/23/20 11:11pm
NO ONE IN THE PAC-12 MADE A SERIOUS OFFER TO PLAY

If the main issue a fan has with something is BYU’s financial impact, the fan

It doesn’t matter at all what the fans think here. They aren’t voting and they aren’t the ones with a shortfall

I have to say I agree. I feel we handled it somewhat poorly.

No guarantee is a lousy offer and it's a bush league move to whine to press.

If Oregon or USC yeah, Washington doesn't move the needle at this point in time.
Mr. Scoobs
11/23/20 10:59am
UW may beat Oregon. No way to know that now.

11/23/20 11:27am
Agree but timing is important in college football cause the system sucks.

Did nobody listen to Holmoe's interview before the game Saturday?

Gotta say - well-reasoned post.
CatManBlue
11/23/20 11:25am
I don't think so. I think BYU looks pretty silly if the game gets canceled.
Ham
11/23/20 11:27am
Fair points, but I think you undervalue the significance of the financial impact/risk. They are already $20M short and

Politically speaking, you are correct...

Easy fix here, just ask the players what they want to do.

This is really easy to say when you aren't managing the finances

11/23/20 12:22pm
BYU needs a ranked team to tip the needle. Utes and UW just don't do that
cougarnw
11/23/20 12:24pm
Problem is, once they beat a ranked team, that team is no longer ranked.
ochobeeguy

Unless it's a top 10 team also trying for a shot at the playoff

More than money at play

How many schools are losing money this year?
Z-Ute
11/23/20 12:34pm
Make a contract like every other team then. If Washington cancels they don’t go
Cosmo4life
11/23/20 12:41pm
What else is UW supposed to do?
Z-Ute
11/23/20 1:10pm
Uw is in the pac. Of course they have something to prove. That’s ridiculous. The arrogance of your league knows no bound
BYU '80
11/23/20 1:47pm
Think if UW is undefeated there is any way they are left out of a NY6?
Z-Ute
11/23/20 2:16pm
They’d be left out of the playoffs since the PAC12 is not respected by the real

The one weakness in your post is whether or not something better is in the works. We don't know about that.

Holmoe said Saturday morning on pre-game that they weren’t looking to schedule

People should also realize that the kids have made travel plans (flights, etc)

Boise St is better than UW
Hill4Heisman
11/23/20 1:12pm
Seen them both play, and that isn't true. UW would beat BSU by 10+.
Turnpike Lane
11/23/20 1:21pm
Must have been that game where they should have lost to OSU. Or was it that game against the doormat Arizona?
BYU '80
11/23/20 1:48pm
Both those schools would be the 2nd and 3rd toughest on our schedule. Maybe 1st toughest this year.
Turnpike Lane
11/23/20 2:28pm
I disagree. BYU shouldn't get caught up in the PR game.

The main problem is the Pac12 thinks they are much, much better of a conference

problem is, BYU always negotiates in good faith like most other schools. Udub...

Nothing like botching the first 3 months of the season and coming on here and talking to us about missed opportunities.
