Non-Conference Scheduling rumors

[falafel]

We play utah and utah state.

So there's a precedent. I'll bet we've already knocked out Nevada, Idaho, New Mexico, and Wyoming in previous years as well.

There is definitely precedent but the more important point here is that there is no reason to believe that playing all FBS teams in a state would be "fun."

I think 71 might get season tickets!

There is a good chance he will unless the remaining two games announced are against Murray St. and Wagner.

BYU's 2016 schedule:
@ Utah
UCLA
@ Arizona
@ West Virginia
@ Michigan St
Mississippi St
@ BSU
@ Cincinnati
Southern Miss
USU

First year QB, yikes this is going to be a horrific year.

Utah, UCLA, UofA, WVU, Sparty, will all probably have their same coaches and be pretty good teams.

Who knows about Boise and Cincy buy those are away and after we play murderers row (granted that this is the chronological order).

Aren't their 2 neutral site games and 2 unscheduled games?

I think BYU is going to have to do a lot of neutral site games as well as always playing 2 horrific teams at home if they want to schedule the equivalent of a P5 schedule.

Any chance we can get Ole Miss or Jackson State on the home schedule? It might be fun to have each year focus on challenging all the FBS schools in a particular state.

Oxford would be a great place to attend a game. Just adopt MG's WOW policy and enjoy The Grove.

Isn't that the place where the most "BYU Fans drink for free" pics were snapped?

yes. they were very hospitable. one of the best tailgates ive ever experienced. in fact, possibly the best. Ohio State probably wins the sheer volume of people award but Ole Miss was an experience.

Funny thing is that people weren't allowed to drive their vehicles onto the grass so it actually wasn't a "tailgate." It was more of an outdoor party under blue and red canopies.

thank you for that clarification. I agree.

Agreed. Great experience.

Robinson does a hatchet job on the honor code.

Same old question: Can BYU football and the Honor Code coexist?

I don't know if this is the proper thread, but I will of course be happy to chime in on the matter.

Robinson says something like, BYU represents the church and the Honor Code is the standard of that church.

Really?? I am actually OK if BYU wants to have strict rules as a way to weed people out and control those who get in. However, I know a lot of good LDS folks who do not live or subscribe to the rules (Honor Code) that BYU flaunts.

How many people do you think see a restriction on beards and long hair and immediately think, wow, BYU subscribes to higher moral standard than everyone else?

Doesn't really matter how many, because the ones that do are the ones that make the rules.

Excellent point.

I'd like the Honor Code to take the Joseph Smith approach: “I teach them correct principles, and they govern themselves.”
