Non-Conference Scheduling rumors

Listen. It is NOT a 2-1! That is just silly to even say!

Various reports are saying that Utah athletic director Christ Hill said that the long BYU-Utah football rivalry will not be played in 2014-15.

I was trying to be humorous about how I can't wait for some misguided Ute to claim this is a 2-1. I wasn't trying to be serious or make sense. *sigh*

Heh, being new I don't know everyone's personality yet, so I'll just stfu and enjoy the ride.

I guess it is a good thing that you are not Tom. Any games played past this year are like icing on the cake. Unfortunately, I think that unless more Ute fans complain to Chris Hill then a game every few years may be all we get.

I guess I don't look at it like that. Icing on the cake is getting Michigan in a H/H, but not at the expense of your rival series.

I'm interested in playing every year, and not at Utah's convenience. I don't mind playing in Sept if we play every year, but if we don't, I'm more interested in not playing at all in anything.

It's just my opinion, and I realize there's lots of fans on both sides who don't feel like I do, but to me either you're rivals or you're not, and I don't want to have a half assed thing like Chris Hill seems so interested in having.

I don't like this and no, it's not a 2-1.

from reading some tweets, it looked doable in 14 and 15 but it would have required a switch up in the h/h with BYU getting 13-14 at home and Utah getting 15-16 at home. Wonder why they couldn't have worked that out? Oh well.

Here is where I am at with this. It appears Utah is only willing to schedule BYU when convenient (not saying this is right/wrong btw. it just is) or they would have scheduled out past 16. Utah wants to leave the door open for "better" opportunities. In that case, if I were BYU, I wouldn't be waiting around for that phone call anymore.

As long as everyone is looking out for what's best for their programa, it's probably time to discontinue the bball series as well to avoid the huge hit to our RPI.

I wouldn't blame BYU for having that mentality, but I don't really foresee a situation where Utah approaches BYU to play a series and BYU tells them "no thanks, we're full".

Sorry about that, hopefully the current coaching staff can do a little better than they did last year.

BYU needs to just move on.

We shouldn't be giving the perception that we're sitting by the phone on Friday night waiting for "buddy" Utah to call up and see if we want to come hang out.

This doesn't need to be all or nothing. Quite frankly, I'm fine with an every other year situation. Think about it, the pressure and anticipation builds up for 24 whole months. While I'd prefer annual on Thanksgiving Weekends, I'd take an every-other-year-or-so rivalry game as well. Could be fun.

This seems like the best thread in this forum to ask this hypothetical question:

Knowing that BYU wants the Utah game to be played every year and in November, what would you do if Utah proposed the following to the PAC12 and BYU:

Game will be played every year. In November. 2-1 at RES.

Or not all.

If those were the two options, what would you say?

No offense but its a pretty stupid question and suggestion. No reasonable person would think thats a possible scenario or that Utah is worth a 2-1 with any team on the level of .

I would slap you if you said this to my face.
