Non-Conference Scheduling rumors

[TripletDaddy]

ESPN could be deciding between Utah/USC and BYU/Texas for their ABC game.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if CGD picked the Utes/Trojans.

Regardless, both teams did very well for themselves.

Why would CGD go to either of those games?

PAC-12 conference opener; Utah's first conference game as a member of a BCS conference. I could see it. There are other options (Bama/Penn St; Michigan/Notre Dame; South Carolina/Georgia) but Utah/USC offers the most intrigue, IMO.

Also, I meant to say ABC could be choosing between those two games.

Yikes, you are zooting out a bit. Very unlike you.

Utah likely will not be ranked, they have no QB, they went into the off season in total disarray. SC is on SanCtions and is ineligible for a bowl game.

The only angle of interest to anyone is the one you didn't mention. Return of NoCho. But even that is not compelling because he had already been back and Pete is gone.. NoCho has already played SC a few times and been destroyed each year.

I think the college football world has about as much interest in Utah's first Game as a BCS member as BYUs first game as an independent. Which is why CGD won't be at either LA or Austin.

The first game of the new PAC-12? Utah's first trip to the Coliseum in 63 years? Nothing, really?

BTW Wynn will be 100% by the start of fall camp. Saying we don't have a QB is a bit disingenuous.

Well, I'm unaware if any great clamor amongst SC fans for the Utah game, so I guess I dont see a national interest. Why do you feel that it is a compelling story that Utah hasn't played in the coliseum for 60 years? There is no rivalry, no tradition between the two teams.

Also, there will also be a first game for the new B10 and the new Big East. Do you predict that CGD will go to all of those, as well? Maybe cover TCUs first game as a BCS team? In fact, TCU just won the rose bowl. Why would CGD milk that storyline for Utah over TCU?

I don't even see the appeal from the SC side. SC is not predicted to be an AP top 10 team next season. seriously, I guess I'm having a tough time seeing what you are seeing.

Te last couple of times CGD came to LA...vs #1 oregon and vs top ten Ohio State, when SC was #3 I believe. There is a pattern there that the SC Utah game lacks.

ND and Michigan have a bigger collective fanbase than Utah/USC, but CGD hasn't been to this game since 2003.

I'd be willing to make a (friendly & modest) wager with anyone that will take it regarding the following: CGD will pick Bama/Penn St or Utah/USC before they pick Michigan/ND.

Why did you add bama Penn state?

What happened to all the allure of the Utes playing SC?

ZootinOver, come on out and get your whoopin'

Possible home and home with Wazzou starting next year?

"Q: Next year's nonconference football schedule includes a game with Eastern Washington in Pullman and a trip to UNLV. I've heard there is a chance you will be opening at Brigham Young. Any truth to that?

Moos: We haven't signed the contract, but we were set to play BYU later, I think in 2015, '16, '17, somewhere in there. My contacts with ESPN inquired about us moving that series up. There were a lot of things that had to take place, which the people at ESPN managed for us, so it looks like there's a good possibility that we could open up at BYU for the 2012 season and have them return in 2013."

[Surfah]

Take a whiff.

[Maximus]

Take a whiff.

I just dont understand why scheduling a OOC we dont need points to big 12. Dont we already have 4 OOC scheduled?

[LiveCoug]

Take a whiff.

I thought it was obvious.

It'd be nice to get that game in Seattle. Wazzou is trying to move a couple of games there a year, I know they have contacted Oregon about moving the game to Seahawks stadium formerly Qwest.

[TripletDaddy]

Wazzou is an awful program. The B12 better work out because a trip to Pullman is never a tent stake game on the season schedule.

Rumor that Wazzu is going to replace GT. Anyone else hearing this?
