Non-Conference Scheduling rumors

This will make one week a year more comfortable for me around here. It's to bad, I think it was a good series.

Agreed that this is too bad. I liked this series.

I am going to miss it. I loved the rivalry. And BSU was great to agree to a long-term annual series.

And they usually beat us. A real challenging game.

Bleep the trucker utes! Welcome back to full CS fellowship, RCV!

And they went out of their way to make sure the game happened in 2020, giving us what was arguably our best win in our best season.

They did right by us.

Yeah, we owe them. I hope we can schedule a game now and then.

Wasn't such a fan of the rivalry in the early years (thanks for nothing, Crowton and Bronco!) but the last few years have been a blast.

Plus they beat the uofutah on regular basis. Those cowards won't schedule them anymore. Gotta love that.

Will be nice to change the name of this thread or lock it in 2023. The remaining two games in the Virginia series have been cancelled. Assuming a 9 game big 12 schedule, that means there are still 7 games on the 2023 schedule to unload. The Thanksgiving weekend game at USC is fun, but the reality of keeping it with a big 12 schedule is low. Assuming the first three games on the schedule remain, 2023 would be Tennessee, @Utah State, and @Arkansas + 9 Big 12 games. Gotta believe we would get out of the Utah State game in that case and either move the home game with Southern Utah to that date in September or get another FCS team. It would be rough to have two SEC teams out of conference in our first year of Big12, but I wouldn't want to mess with a home date against Tennessee and I'm guessing the Ark buyout is big being they come to Provo first next year.

If the 9 game conference schedule is a reality, I would like to see Utah every year, one unique FBS team, and a mwc/fcs team out of conference. I'd love to have an 8 game conference schedule to have the above plus alternating Boise/Utah State, but I value silly old-fashioned regional rivalries more than most.

With the UNLV series being cancelled, 2023 appears to be down to six games (three more to cancel). What do you want to keep from:

Tennessee
@Arkansas
@UCF
Southern Utah
@USC
@Utah State

I still want to keep the first two.

Those first two for sure. Maybe throw in USC for another easy PAC game.

LOL yes! Unfortunately the USC game is thanksgiving weekend. I'd like to keep it but as I said above the reality is we need two non conference home games and I don't think that weekend will be accommodated in a 14-team Big 12.

[Omaha 680]

USC and now the USU game are both cancelled for 2023. That leaves us with:

9/2 Tennessee
9/16 @Arkansas
11/18 Southern Utah

Moving SUU to 9/9 would be a perfect non-conference schedule but they already have a game that day.

I'm struggling to figure out what the extraordinary lengths are. Running to join a competitive conference?

Exactly. Check out the replies. What an insanely stupid tweet.

I can't remember the last time I went to Twitter and came away feeling better than when I opened the app.
