Maybe Houston - unless BYU fans can help them fill their stadium.

Just thinking of the game-day vibe.

Can Houston Football Figure Out a Way to Fill Seats?

The Cougars are nationally ranked and receive millions in university support—so why does UH consistently play in a half-empty home stadium?

What’s going to be the worst road game location in the B12? Worst fans, worst

K-State in terms of getting there. Fans are decent at most schools. Texas Tech

Why try and anticipate a problem that might not exist?

Nothing wrong with the travel part. But that does depend on where you are coming

Fly onto Pittsburg for WVU it’s like flying into SLC for BYU

I imagine the infrequent occasion BYU plays at WVU will be unique. Travel will

It's only about an hour south of Pittsburgh if you fly in.

Ah. True. But is that a town Western cities can get a direct to? (I don't know)

Some are direct others would be 1 stop. Travel to WVU is part if the reason the ACC wasn't interested IIRC.

By the time you have driven from the airport to the university

Lubbock is one of the most depressing towns I've ever driven through.

At least Lubbock has a temple.

D'you think that's what depresses him about the place?

Perhaps not, but Lubbock is a beacon on a hill compared to other W Texas towns!

There was a huge contingent of BYU fans in 2020 and that was with CoVID

I'd forgotten about that game. Just went back and watched highlights.

TCU, already some bad blood, plus the religious bigotry.
