      The Michigan AD says never (not really):

      "BYU, that's someone I really wanted to schedule," Brandon said. "That's a great program and it will be fun to have them here. It'll be a big test for our team because they're always good and we're not going to return a visit."

        • BYU signs a HH with UNLV for 14/15

          Both games will be November games...

            first of the MWC teams.

            I'll make the short drive over to that game.

              Yup... I think we will see more MWC teams as filler games. I'm fine with that.

              I'd like to see 6+ big boy conference teams per year and then some MWC like filler teams. That would be a good enough Indy schedule.

                Yes! Vegas baby! This Indie stuff is working out great.

                  I don't mind it much as a November series. It is clearly a step up from New Mexico St which was also a H/H. UNLV is usually quite bad, but typically about 50 rankings better than New Mexico St. So it is an easy win without the extreme awfulness of New Mexico St (at least in expectation). We also have a history with UNLV, and lots of BYU fans will attend the away game. It's the low end of what I would hope we get in November going forward, but as long as its the low end I am fine with it.

                  • I wish we could swap our 2013 and 2014 schedules around...

                          Yeah, I generally agree. If we can get a MWC-quality November then I don't see much to complain about. At least it shows that we're not worse off than had we stayed. Can you ask your computer how much better off we are in terms of schedule quality?

                            I agree. Vegas is a nice road trip in November.

                            • When do tickets go on sale? I don't want to head down to Vegas without a ticket. What if it sells out?
