Right now there are 2 neutral games and 4 road games currently scheduled for 2016. It's gonna be tough to fill out a decent home slate that year. -
I am ok with playing Arizona in Phoenix though. That will be an easy game for me to go to.Will donate kidney for B12 membership.Comment

I'd suspect there will be as many BYU fans at that game as UA fans.Originally posted by The_Douger View PostComment

I guess I just see a lot of potential to get your home game bought out and then what have you accomplished? You essentially played 2 road games and screwed over your home fans again.Originally posted by Portland Ute View PostWill donate kidney for B12 membership.Comment

After being around Arizona fans at the 2008 bowl game, I would have been fine with never having them on the schedule again."What are you prepared to do?" - Jimmy Malone

Did you have a chance to hang out with the coaches for the announcement? If not....

What circumstances would you prefer BYU be in right now? Everyone knows we need games. We don't exactly have the leverage here.Originally posted by The_Douger View Post
On the other hand, Holmoe is putting together some nice schedules, despite the difficulties.
With the only reasonble alternative being the MWC, I'm thrilled with what's going on with scheduling.If we disagree on something, it's because you're wrong.

What an odd arrangement (1-1-1), especially since it's with Arizona. I don't like it. We should be doing a home and home with them and not waiting until 2020 to play them in Provo. It is cool to play in NFL stadiums and maybe that's a selling point to recruits, but it seems odd to not get a home and home with someone as mediocre as Arizona."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Pros and cons but regionally it's a great game and it's not exactly Sister's of the Poor either. Both "away" games make for great road trips too.

LOL, Arizona fans are completely underwhelmed with series with BYU. Where does BYU rank in the football universe? Based on this thread, not too high.

LOL! All fanbases are delusional when it comes to their teams place in the universe...but Arizona seems more delusional than most. I bet 50% of their sports fanbase doesn'tn even know they have a football team.Originally posted by Indy Coug View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

They didn't seem that disappointed in BYU for the most part. Obviously some did, but BYU, being what it is, will get that with any fan base.Originally posted by Indy Coug View Post
It was more the fanfare leading up to the announcement that they had issue with. Can't say that I blame them. Didn't really justify a live streaming broadcast for this.Comment
