Because you need a resume outside of your conference, playing cupcakes hurts

Even playing cupcakes, even if you blow them out how you should, hurts your resume. Playing Gonzaga, even if you lose, helps your resume. That's how it works in basketball.

It's cool that he calls us a rival.

I see no way it survives, unfortunately. The conference schedule is going to be

Well utah is the gimmee on the schedule so ...

No way the Big12 would NOT want us keeping a rivalry alive w such a big brand.

They are the class of the West right now to the point I wonder if we can ever

They've been the class of the west for years, and we have beat them not infrequently.

eventually Few will get old and complacent and start to lose his edge...

TV appeal is what the GU formula has been for the past few years.

That's what I'd figure too. Maybe with us gone you'll make an exception, though.

Well, one OOC slot just disappeared after the GU-UK 6-game announcement.

At least you get rewarded for tough schedules in basketball

It's the Big12, not the NBA Northwest Division

And different from football, you can lose a game against Gonzaga and not have your postseason screwed over.

Sadly I agree even though I’d love to keep it going

ColonelMustard

I'd drop the Utah game in a heartbeat to keep Gonzaga on the schedule

CameronG

except teams that lose to Gonzaga aren't really punished: no risk, high reward

Oh brother. We have so quickly become what we've hated for decades.

Pope & Few are already on record

Only if BYU wants a guaranteed loss every December

Not a big TV draw for GU

clocker

10/6/22 3:35pm

BYU has a good relationship with GU. BYU should leverage it to make this happen

jamalccc

The players and the coaches like the rowdy atmosphere, but TV rules.

We won't need a game like that anymore,

Why wouldn't we need a game like that? You need tough OOC games in basketball

I'd be in favor only if they got rid of their attempted murderer coach.

too bad the Big12 couldn't just send them an invite for Bball...

That’s nice but our SOS will be BRUTAL. We should schedule Cupcakes OOC

Couldn't agree more. Here's hoping we get a series going.
