There are no minuses to playing BYU, unless you think we need to do everything possible to eliminate the element of our fan base who uses their Utah fanhood as a crutch to air their grievances against the LDS church and Mormons in general. -

As a college football fan who is somewhat neutral on the whole BYU-Utah rivalry, I agree with the above comment. BYU provides Utah with a decent OOC game and one that will always sell out and continue to generate local and some national interest. The downside is that Utah probably won't want to schedule another challenging OOC game against a Big 12 or Big Ten opponent. I could see the Utes not wanting to schedule BYU when the whole PAC-12 - Big Ten alliance was being planned because it could mean Utah playing BYU and then someone like Nebraska in the same season which could further jeopardize the Utes bowl chances. But since the PAC-12-Big Ten scheduling agreement did not materialize, I don't see why Utah would not want to schedule BYU other than issuess with "Utah fanhood" or attempting to marginalize BYU.Originally posted by Top Ute View Post“Not the victory but the action.

And a home and home with Fresno those same two years. That's where the speculation on intent comes from. If you are trying to dumb down the schedule or get an extra home game, why schedule Fresno?Originally posted by Mormon Red Death View PostComment

rumor - BYU has to drop the 2013 Hawaii game due to conflicts with the new MWC Championship game, and BYU has added Nevada on Thanskgiving Weekend also in 2013?Comment

I guess that would fill out the schedule, because at that point we couldn't play 13 games because we wouldn't be playing Hawaii.Will donate kidney for B12 membership.Comment

Lots of Penn State rumors on CB today. Don't know if true, but that's a road trip I make my sister live an hour from State College.Originally posted by Scorcho View PostJesus wants me for a sunbeam.

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

When we were in Philadelphia I had a cousin playing football for Michigan. When Michigan came to Penn State we made the trip. Huge crowd and a great gameday atmosphere. Definitely recommended.

At least isn't isn't a 1-1, I'm more interested in seeing us play Nevada than MTSU.Originally posted by Green Monstah View PostDon't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.
