Non-Conference Scheduling rumors

[USUC]

I heard from a former player that Hill will be the back-up, FWIW.

Part of me has assumed as much. They keep talking about how they are going to go with more mobile QBs. If thats the way you want to go why would't you put a cable mobile QB behind the starter. As much as he comes off as such, I don't think Bronco is stupid enough to ensure 2013 is a total bust by being loyal to Lark. If Hill really is an outstanding QB, then put him as backup.

P.S. Livecoug, you can have your emoticon back. At least this week

Having been born and raised in Wisconsin (2 hours west of Madison) I could find no greater satisfaction than seeing BYU beat the Badgers (most likely won't happen as their O Lineman are in as good or better shape than our linebackers). I grew up a fan of Minnesota sports (parents both from Minn.) and lived on the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

First game at Camp Randell 1998 Wisconsin vs Minnesota: Wisconsin 26 Minnesota 7, as an 10 year old I went to the game with my dad and a friend and got to enjoy the experience of seeing a college girl do a keg stand throw up and then say F*** Minnesota. Don't remember the F*** U eat S*** cheer at this game but heard it at many other games that I attended growing up.

Don't get me wrong, Wisconsin is a great place to grow up and live. People are generally fat, drunk, and merry. I highly doubt that any BYU fan going to the game will have a bad experience.

People in Wisconsin don't hate Mormons they feel sorry for us. Most of them will prob. offer you a beer and when you decline shake their head and think to themselves the poor sap.

If you all are this excited about one H:H series with a B1G team, that really speaks volumes.

Of course, I am glad this series is announced. However, I still don't see why a series like this and being a part of conference are mutually exclusive.

you speak the truth.

Sounds great. But when is our conference championship game?

Sounds great. But when is our conference championship game?

Some day we'll play Rutgers. Some day.

Some day we'll play Rutgers. Some day.

Idaho State will be upset if we suspend our rivalry game, but if that's what it takes to play Rutgers, so be it.

Are they on a future schedule? Link?

Once again, getting excited about one H:H series with a B1G team (it's even in November!) really says a lot about independence.

Dude, look at the 2013 schedule. It's more than just about one H:H series.

2013+: 4 Home, 6 Road
[Aug 31 - @ Washington State]
Sept 7 - TEXAS
Sept 14? - UTAH
Sept 21? - BOISE STATE
Oct 4 - @ Utah State
Oct 12 - GEORGIA TECH
Oct 19 - @ Houston
Nov 9 - @ Wisconsin
Nov 16 - @ Notre Dame
Dec 7 - @ Hawaii

Here are some of their 2011 Sagarin rankings:

Wisconsin - 8th
Boise - 9th
Houston - 15th
Texas - 17th
Notre Dame - 26th
Utah - 39th


While 2011 rankings are not guarantees of 2013 rankings, there is a solid chance this ends up being the toughest overall schedule in BYU history.

2013 will be a very fun year to be a byu football fan and a very fun year to have season tickets at LES.

Almost everything you say is true. Scheduling Wisconsin as the first BCS level H:H series in years, has nicely rounded out our upcoming exhibition seasons. I'm really looking forward to watching all of these games that don't really mean anything on the WorldWide Leader.

When was the last time we played a game that really meant anything? 1984?
