Been to two games there in the last 10 years. Honestly, the game day atmosphere was underwhelming compared to Arkansas.

I’m a bit biased, but if you’re traveling to one game this season, you gotta go to the Arkansas game.

That's the conclusion I'm coming around to.

I want to go to our first B12 game home or away. Arkansas is cool,

If you want historic, BYU will be playing in Sam Houston State's first FBS game ever.

I've got chills, they're multiplying...

You better shape up

What about at Texas if you haven’t attended a game there yet?

When was the last time you went. They’ve worked on changing the atmosphere

Climate change?

Both times BYU played there.

It’s completely different now. With longhorn city limits and all of

Losing taints the experience, and I'd say there is an 85% BYU loses.

Signed, BYU vs Oklahoma 2009

Or byu vs Wisconsin 2018, Texas 2014, Tennessee 2019.

Wisconsin, Tennessee, Texas, and OU games were sure fun.

CrimWalCoug

1/24/23 12:38pm

85%? You're not really a stats guy, are you?

mulletino

1/24/23 12:39pm

I'm being generous.

SoValleyCOUG

1/24/23 12:42pm

With your own very inaccurate odds? OK.

mulletino

1/24/23 12:56pm

What do you think the odds are?

SoValleyCOUG

1/24/23 1:05pm

Probably 60%.

mulletino

1/24/23 1:33pm

Those would be good odds for BYU when the game is played. Don't think it is

SoValleyCOUG

1/24/23 1:43pm

Maybe, maybe not. We'll see. But it will be very close to 60%. Miles away from 85% which you say is still generous to

mulletino

1/24/23 2:07pm

Really? You think BYU would win 4 out of 10 games played at Arkansas?

SoValleyCOUG

1/24/23 2:14pm

Meh. BYU gashed Arkansas last year and will probably do so again.

mulletino

1/24/23 2:18pm

Of course the coaches are going to be optimistic!

SoValleyCOUG

1/24/23 2:34pm

Ok. What is BYU’s record vs SEC since going independent with an enormous gap in advantages and resources?

mulletino

1/24/23 3:22pm

So between now and next season the extra money will mean BYU plays better?

You’re going to love this news.

Really? How did we manage to win so many P5 games to this point with pennies in comparison?

mulletino

1/24/23 4:11pm

I met Lavell and his wife that game. Never forget that day.

I would rate OK higher than Arkansas but agree with the overall sentiment.

Where do you fly into

Jeremy

1/24/23 12:38pm

Northwest Arkansas (XNA). Usually through DFW or ORD.

CrimWalCoug

1/24/23 12:40pm

Allegiant has nonstop flights from Mesa to XNA.

Hobo

I hope BYU plays OU. I don’t care if it’s in Provo or Norman.

Fayetteville, Bentonville... awesome area

+1. That area of the country is underrated.

But it will be hot with like 800% humidity early in the season.

Mid-September? It’ll be shorts weather.
