Non-Conference Scheduling rumors

[Portland Ute]

At what point does BYU give USU a home and home deal? You've now got home and homes with UNLV and Middle Tennessee State. It seems like USU is every bit as deserving of a home and home arrangement as those two programs.

I mean, Middle Tennessee State...

[The_Douger]

We'll do it when Utah does.

Once the current deal is done then BYU will schedule USU to a home and home. Bronco even gave sympathy to the idea this year. He says he likes the 2 for 1 deal but understands USU's position.

I wouldn't be surprised if as part of the 1-1 the game is moved from conference weekend to November.

Not me if the 7th game is the likes of Weber St. of some MWC team. It is another $150 and Saturday, Friday, Thursday nite shot.

Caveat: If I don't buy tickets next year, yea I would love it.

71 you realize that no team in the country that has 7 home games does it without a Weber St or WAC level FBS team?

I'd venture a guess that Alabama tickets were at least as expensive as BYU tickets and their home schedule this year had 3 of those games. Including Western Carolina in late November. If you count Ole Miss and Auburn as low level MWC teams, which they basically are, 5 of their 7 home games were throw aways this year.

I wish this included a home and home series with the basketball team.

Yes, Auburn sucks, but they are still Alabama's rival and they won a championship a couple of years ago. They aren't quite a "low level MWC team" for Alabama. In fact, I'd wager Auburn and Ole Miss would both be in the top half of the MWC, for that matter.

I realize that, but it doesn't change the fact that paying $150 to go see that game is a waste of money.

I keep telling everyone Obama and the dems will change the spending habits of everyone. There was a time when I didn't really care about $150. Not anymore. I want value for every dime I spend.

I wouldn't compare Alabama football with BYU football. It's like you have to see a current beach boy and the chandell's concerts before you can buy a ticket to see Adele.

BYU is like buying a beach boy and chandell ticket to get the chance to see Donnie and Marie.

It's not a game, it's an event.

So is Stake Conference.

Exactly. That's why you have to show up at least 60 minutes early to get the soft seats.

On a serious note, my times at LES were fun. However, take away the fact you are cheering for your team and the atmosphere is dull compared to say a Jazz game. Please, don't anyone tell me about how bad and evil it is at a Jazz or Ute game. I see the Prophet and Apostles there often.

Nope, BYU is standing up and having some old lady tell you to sit down. When you kindly tell her you only stand up when you get excited, she tells you her husband doesn't stand when he gets excited. You reply I can see why he never gets excited.

She then tells you, "you don't deserve to have a recommend" and you reply "she can F-off, you aren't mormon".

Next thing you know, you are being hauled out by security. Not a great game day experience.

That seems like an escalation that didn't need to happen.

I recommend +5 selective hearing. I hear it works well.

Yep. The old hag should have kept her mouth shut.
