Holmoe said in his pregame interview that everyone is waiting.

It wouldn’t surprise me that BYU said something like, hey let’s keep talking this week since you can’t give us a real offer anyway.

This was last Saturday, about 3 hours before Washington called.

Holmoe yesterday. Scheduling negations are like a boxing match. "The first round, you are not going to throw any haymakers." (Ha!)
"Everyone is waiting."
"Early on, we'll play _anyone_."
Now, "you can be a little bit more discriminate."@slmandel @BruceFeldmanCFB @ralphDrussoAP pic.twitter.com/ycLFPU7xuL

The definitive explanation of how scheduling went down the week. According to me

That can’t be true. Where is the BYU incompetence in that story?

It seems like the narrative went from BYU did everything right to BYU did..

Let’s hope SDSU beats Colorado

I doubt they will. Very unimpressed w/ what I've seen from SDSU.

Agree, SDSU appears to be a below avg team. Bet CU beats them by 7-10

Good work, but this is of course almost total speculation

Pretty good educated guess actually.

...just like the other presented options of BYU screwing up.

Yup. We all do it when the truth hasn’t been shared.

This speculation is more believable than the assumption that any team that has

Of course it is. But (in my deranged mind) it makes a lot more sense then all of

The fact that paying for hotel costs was a condition for us to accept UW doesn't promote confidence we don't ask the

Is that a "fact" though? That is something a lot of people said. None of whom

The part I still don’t understand is apparently our coaches and players were told a game was possible/likely on Monday

Because they probably scheduled the practice Sunday before it looked like it

11/27/20 9:04am

Yep. I believe the reports of “waiting for rankings” was true.

Mr. Scoobs

Washington jumped at the chance to make BYU look bad. Whole thing sucks.

11/27/20 9:32am

I can completely see this. It seems most consistent with the statements

Tricky

11/27/20 11:40am

He's talking in generalities. Bit saying "we're going to wait" AND we "know"

Pretty close on the UW part. Was closer than you make it sound. Tom hasn't blown anything. He's done an admirable job to

You can say BYU lost this week, sure, but that's different than "blowing it"

I really think both UW and BYU saw the writing on the wall very early.

Great point except Tom said in his interview he was waiting to see Tues rankings
