My opinion is BYU should try to work out a standing arrangement with the P12

where we will be plan B for any cancelled games. Caveat that with we can back out on Thursday just like they can. We'll submit to their over the top testing protocols, play at their stadium. Throw BYU some money for playing the game and everyone wins.

Please take me off the ledge here with what kalani and Holmoe are thinking????

The only explanation is I think they thought we would be ranked higher and didin

11/26/20 8:25pm

There's all kinds of possible reasons other than that.

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:27pm

That is true should have said most likely reason. Does anyone think if BYU knew

johnnybyu

11/26/20 8:28pm

They practiced Monday. Then it didn't look like any games would happen. I'm not

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:35pm

Kalani: “From the beginning we’ve been trying to schedule 12 games.”

kcca

11/26/20 8:29pm

I believe that is true. But you can't schedule a game when you give your team

I thought CU is playing SDSU?

LiveCoug

11/26/20 8:25pm

They are. Just reported.

idacoug

11/26/20 8:27pm

Yeah. As of 2 hours ago. It wasn’t scheduled all week long.

SlantRoute

11/26/20 8:27pm

Yes. But don't you know that BYU could have just told CU that they have to play

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:28pm

Nobody’s going to schedule a game to happen in 2 days. They’re being rational.

MormonThug

11/26/20 8:25pm

SDSU just did.

SlantRoute

11/26/20 8:28pm

Let us know if you find a potential opponent just hanging out along the Wasatch Front for the next few days.

kccougar

11/26/20 8:30pm

SDSU had all those logistics already in place as their CSU game was this week

BYUFam1

11/26/20 8:41pm

You sure about that?

Honestly was repeating what others reported. I do not follow MWC enough to know

BYUFam1

11/26/20 9:24pm

CSU is playing SDSU next week in San Diego. Fresno cancelled on them

stansburycoug

11/26/20 9:49pm

Do you really think they haven’t been talking to CU all week?

11/26/20 9:44pm

Thought they were going to play in SoCal since CU was already there. Anyone know if that's true?

Soupie

11/26/20 8:25pm

It is at Colorado. That excuse doesn't work. Maybe San Diego is closer to Boul

johnnybyu

11/26/20 8:27pm

Maybe CU doesn't want to play BYU.

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:29pm

That is possible Air Force needs a game as do other teams. Hard to schedule a

johnnybyu

11/26/20 8:30pm

Is it really smart to schedule games' 2 days in advance, though?

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:32pm

I agree it is nuts. But teams are doing it. Cal UCLA did it a few weeks ago.

johnnybyu

11/26/20 8:34pm

I bet SDSU knew CU was a possibility on Monday

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:36pm

SDSU just did.

SlantRoute

11/26/20 8:36pm

Maybe they did. I bet they knew Monday it could happen. Which is why the BYU/SDS

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:37pm

Either way. Byu needs to be practicing and bags packed at a moments notice.

SlantRoute

11/26/20 8:39pm

I don't know how smart that is. Go into a game with almost no preparation?!

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:42pm

Why? The other team wouldn’t have prepped for BYU

SlantRoute

11/26/20 8:45pm

I can see I won't change your mind. I think it's a bit nuts.

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:54pm

I agree. It is nuts. Just like 2020. Gotta do whatever it takes though.

SlantRoute

11/26/20 9:03pm

Is playing CU a "gotta do" game

fattycoug

11/26/20 9:09pm

Its better than scheduling bye 3 out of 4 weeks

johnnybyu

11/26/20 9:10pm

Possibly. Still moot. I bet it was CU/SDSU pretty much by Monday

fattycoug

11/26/20 9:15pm

Maybe article on Tuesday saying. SDSU wanted to play Washington

johnnybyu

11/26/20 9:27pm

BYU actually has a limit on games I believe

puntersarepeople

11/26/20 10:06pm

Yes. When you have 1 more game and back to back byes.

Nope. Had been scheduled at Fresno St.

Soupie

11/26/20 9:44pm

No, AFA and csu were supposed to play today

11/26/20 9:05pm

I’d play the Ducks

11/26/20 9:20pm

They are worrisome but solid

puntersarepeople

11/26/20 10:07pm

If Colorado had already left for the USC game before the cancellation then that

BYUFam1

11/26/20 8:42pm

That makes a lot of sense.

Soupie

11/26/20 8:43pm

Except it is inaccurate their Fresno game was cancelled

johnnybyu

11/27/20 12:07am

I thought AFA was playing CSU today. Not SDSU on Sat

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:45pm

Problem is the game with Fresno was cancelled not CSU. Fresno is not close to

johnnybyu

11/26/20 11:39pm

Maybe they talked to CU and they showed zero interest in playing BYU. Seems

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:26pm

My point is with COVID, you should be on call for last minute cancellations.

idacoug

11/26/20 8:29pm

My point is that you have no idea if CU didn't already tell Holmoe that they wer

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:31pm

And you don’t know otherwise, do you?

idacoug

11/26/20 8:32pm

No, which is why I'm not going to say they blew something

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:36pm

We just know BYU took the week off and wasn't in position to schedule a game

johnnybyu

11/26/20 8:36pm

Maybe because nothing was likely to happen after Monday. I bet this SDSU/CU game

fattycoug

11/26/20 8:40pm

RE: My point is with COVID, you should be on call for last minute cancellations.

11/26/20 9:22pm

They’ve thrown in the towel for getting games. It is what it is.

TeeKaa

11/26/20 8:27pm

You should probaby just jump.

kccougar

11/26/20 8:28pm

Ok jerk.

idacoug

11/26/20 8:29pm

I think players were told no game this week before the Washington drama.

delux_247

11/26/20 8:30pm

And that is POOR planning. You KNOW last minute cancellations happen.

Just FYI.. Players are smarter than you give them credit for.

TheLost

11/26/20 8:48pm

I strongly disagree with #3

puntersarepeople

11/26/20 8:50pm

I think they will be more open to #3 now

johnnybyu

11/26/20 8:55pm

Agreed

puntersarepeople

Its a logistics problem..

Very disappointed

Lavell4life

11/26/20 8:58pm

Very much perplexed by sending players home

stansburycoug

11/26/20 9:15pm

They were not ready. They listened too much to the media. Holmoe severely

Blue2thebone

11/26/20 9:34pm

Not 100% sure Tom made the call to send the kids home

stansburycoug

11/26/20 9:54pm

I’m just so surprised Tom Balked at a P5 game. He totally overplayed his hand

Blue2thebone

11/26/20 9:57pm

You're believing the speculation by people who are making stuff up

fattycoug

11/26/20 10:12pm

Or, are you not believing what wasn’t made up and is true

Blue2thebone

11/27/20 6:04am

They need to suck it up and be willing to play with 2 days notice.

11/26/20 9:45pm

You think the committee won’t think of something else? They want BYU out.

11/26/20 9:51pm

I think they’ll give an incremental bump to take some heat off their butts

11/26/20 10:01pm

You're assuming they could have. I doubt ANY games, truly get scheduled that

imdocrob

Maybe, Kalani thought they deserved to be with family on Thanksgiving.

oldrugger

11/26/20 10:10pm

Or, that after MOnday, there was no real chance to schedule anything

fattycoug

11/26/20 10:15pm

Family. Isn’t it about time?
