Eh...at this point I'd settle for a bad schedule and an undefeated season. At least then we'd be talked about.

East Carolina will be a fun game for our Ward and much of the stake. When BYU goes to Greenville that will be a weird crowd. ECU fans are known to be hard core and wild.Comment

Interesting quote from Saban about why they schedule FCS teams. Poor Alabama. No one wants to play them home and home either.
"I don't know that we have a choice sometimes," Saban said. "We can't just call people up and say, 'We want to have a game.' It's not like setting up a golf game. I call up three of my buddies and say you guys want to play and you play Sunday morning. Then everybody says, 'Yeah, I can play.' You ever try to schedule a game? Do you know (what) goes into that? It's very difficult to do home-and-home with quality teams. To be honest with you, you almost have to buy games to get people to play you.

Gone are the days when the Bear would schedule: Nebraska (9-3), Missouri (8-4), USC (12-1), and Washington (7-4) for non-conference games in the same season (1978) and still play for the national championship.Originally posted by wapiti View Post“Not the victory but the action.

Alabama owes BYU that return game that they bought out. Let's say we schedule 3 home and homes and call it even.Comment

LOL. This announcement came the same day as Bronco expressed his love for the Big 12:Originally posted by OSUCougar View PostBYU and UCLA agree to series in 2015 and 2016.

Kragthorpe: Bronco’s ‘love’ for Big 12 devalues BYU’s independence

The irony is his comments were published the same day when BYU announced a home-and-home series with UCLA in 2015-16, adding to the Cougars’ extensive Pac-12 bookings. Athletic director Tom Holmoe has done a nice job of scheduling with Pac-12 schools, considering those programs play only three nonconference games each year.
Many of BYU’s upcoming opponents are attractive, although this year’s home schedule hardly fits that description and the 2015 schedule is too front-loaded, with trips to Nebraska, Michigan and UCLA and a home date with Boise State — all in September."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

there is no irony there. B12 teams schedule H/H's with other conferences, including the Pac.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

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."

Home and home against the MAC
"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment
