We all work in sales - it's how college sports has worked for

for some time now. If you haven't learned in the last week that this is all driven by $ and that is moves the needle and affects "feelers that are sent out" then you aren't paying attention. Money talks, and no more so than in the COVID athletics world.

As I've said before, I don't think BYU will get any new games

SlantRoute

11/29/20 6:37pm

Urgency wasn’t as strong when BYU looked like a NY6 lock though

Mr. Scoobs

11/29/20 6:41pm

Well, there's your problem then. Needed urgency regardless.

SlantRoute

11/29/20 6:42pm

At 10 games BYU is playing more of a season than most.

Mr. Scoobs

11/29/20 6:50pm

Joke or not, that’s the reality we have to deal with.

11/29/20 9:38pm

I think this is it. BYU was trying to land a one-and-done with Marshall (11/28)

11/29/20 6:51pm

Yup, and no one want to lose to BYU this late in the season.

So YOU brought the bad mojo!!! I hope you and your negative vibe are proud

It takes two to tango. Holmoe can't simply conjure a game out of thin air.

That argument worked until SDSU got a game against Colorado.

Nathanael Greene

11/29/20 6:44pm

Colorado wanted to play SDSU. SDSU is a win. BYU is a probable loss. Who wants that?

11/29/20 6:45pm

Maybe Colorado didn't want to play BYU.

Hypnotoad

11/29/20 6:45pm

Maybe, but we were Washington’s first choice.

Nathanael Greene

11/29/20 7:00pm

Utah was Washington's first choice. The whole BYU thing was a PR ruse.

Hypnotoad

11/29/20 7:02pm

First *backup* choice = 2nd choice

BluebloodOR

11/29/20 7:03pm

There was no choice.

RE: There was no choice.

ute15

11/29/20 8:05pm

Should have jumped at the chance to play Washington

miggida

11/29/20 8:34pm

No way Colorado wanted to play us.

ute15

Wrong again. Utah was Washington's first choice.

Biyamiti

11/29/20 7:22pm

Sorry everyone, I meant BYU was Washington’s choice over SDSU.

Nathanael Greene

11/29/20 7:28pm

You're just making crap up, now.

fattycoug

11/29/20 7:55pm

Are you new to all this? You sound sorely uninformed. Sigh.

SaintGeorgeYFan

11/29/20 7:51pm

Ding, ding, ding!!!

JKLCoug

11/29/20 7:01pm

You don't think it's possible that CU would just rather play SDSU?

fattycoug

11/29/20 6:52pm

There is no argument against only being able to schedule games that the other

fattycoug

11/29/20 6:54pm

You are correct. That could have been BYU

Blue2thebone

11/29/20 9:05pm

It's all about incentives, if you aren't putting them out there then dont

OC Coug

11/29/20 6:52pm

Do you work in sales? Because that sounds like something someone who works in

Hypnotoad

11/29/20 7:04pm

We all work in sales - it's how college sports has worked for

OC Coug

11/29/20 7:10pm

I understand. I also think there are realistic expectations and unrealistic

Hypnotoad

11/29/20 7:25pm

And you are assuming we are talking about 1 team

OC Coug

11/29/20 7:36pm

You're reading a lot into one tweet. What evidence do you have that he hasn't

Hypnotoad

11/29/20 7:47pm

And that is business - why you pay a CEO and why that person is open

OC Coug

11/29/20 7:54pm

I'm sorry. I don't buy into that way of thinking. I think there needs to be more

Hypnotoad

11/29/20 8:08pm

Yeap that is the beauty of the job - different stakeholders

OC Coug

11/29/20 8:27pm

It's hard to argue with this

miggida

11/29/20 8:43pm

I know what he really means

IndepYndent

11/29/20 6:41pm

Finally found Dave McCann’s account

LifelongAP

11/29/20 7:41pm

Miami just schedule Duke for Dec 5

Coug-Ida

11/29/20 9:05pm

Duke has covid

IndepYndent

11/29/20 9:32pm

So it looks like we are on Pac12 watch this weekend. Do we keep the charter

LaserCoug

11/29/20 6:43pm

We wouldn’t know until of an opening until Friday morning.

NWCoug

11/29/20 6:55pm

Sounds good to me.

Plz say sike

thaskoozcoug

11/29/20 6:53pm

I'm shocked that people are trying to pull info from this tweet. This tweet

SUAVO

11/29/20 6:56pm

It’s basically saying we will try to play but it’s not going to be Miami.

idacoug

11/29/20 7:16pm

No it doesn't

2FarGone

11/29/20 7:23pm

Lol.

idacoug

11/29/20 8:08pm

You're happy that you're right about BYU getting the shaft?

2FarGone

11/29/20 8:54pm

I’m laughing that you were wrong as you discredited my thought so quickly.

idacoug

11/29/20 8:56pm

No, it's not. He could very well have sent this out with Miami already scheduled

SUAVO

11/29/20 7:25pm

idacoug

11/29/20 8:08pm

I’m glad he was able to tweet that out a week late. I wonder if he was on vacay

BYU Fan

11/29/20 7:44pm

I’m actually glad he tweeted that out, got ahead of the Narrative rather than

akmewg

11/29/20 8:39pm

Limited options. AKA not in our control.

byujdmba

11/29/20 8:58pm

Is it not in his control to say "I offered to Miami, and they didn't / haven't

miggida

11/29/20 9:01pm

Not encouraging. He wouldn't have posted this if an announcement was imminent.
