a month ago. Even now, it’s not a realistic option since they can cancel last minute. I’m talking about trying to get Cinci, Marshall, Coastal Carolina a month ago, when there was still time to move around the N. Alabama and SDSU games.

Holmoe deserves a lot credit for redoing the schedule, but he blew it by waiting

I have to think irons were already in the fire, it’s not like TH is just now

We could have had a game this week though to stop the bleeding a bit

Instead we'll drop to 16 next week before (,hopefully) playing Cincy

Yep he overplayed his hand

rggee

Please. What more could he have done?

Scheduled a P5 game this weekend. Or signed a game with Cincy.

What P5 game? PAC ain’t happening with their late start and stupid rules.

Any P5 game. Teams have been canceling games right and left.

What P5 conferences are even allowing OOC games?

But they still have to agree to play.

You know those weren't options. UW was barely an option – everyone knew that.

It was never a viable option

Geez. You’re like that guy last night that thought all we had to do was ask for$

Not waited? Get a ranked G5 team on the schedule when there was still time?

ldssdl

11/24/20 9:17pm

It was, and I’m trying to be totally fair to you, a really stupid point.

All-American

11/24/20 9:20pm

Well, that settles it. You going to actually offer any reasoning?

ldssdl

11/24/20 9:30pm

I think it may be hard to find a meaningful opponent now. Who wants to line up

How did he blow it? You literally are assuming so much.

LyleLanley

11/24/20 9:17pm

He said he wanted to wait until the initial CFP rankings were released to

ldssdl

11/24/20 9:22pm

What did you want him to do? He can’t snap his fingers and have a game lined up

LyleLanley

11/24/20 9:24pm

Tom Holmoe himself said they’ve had opportunities:

That doesn’t mean cincy

LyleLanley

I know. But a month ago, there was time to shuffle the schedule to get even a

Again, you have no proof that they didn't try.

If that is a direct quote, then share the quote.

He said it on Saturday on byutv

Show me the quote, please

Start around minute 43:

Since we are all acting like we know what TH was doing all this time

Except BYU chose to wait to see the CFP rankings. Source:

My point is BYU shouldn’t have waited to see the initial CFP rankings to gauge

ldssdl

11/24/20 9:31pm

You said you had a "direct quote". Now you have a "sources say"

fattycoug

11/24/20 9:51pm

Yeah, waited as in the last week maybe but I for one believe he was working all

They were negotiating with UW yesterday. That’s not waiting for the rankings.

I was addressing the waiting issue not the opponent

Who should BYU have already played and how do you know they didn't try?
