Guest #1Stunner Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 BYU has scheduled an in-State game vs Idaho State. BYU has scheduled an a home-and-home series vs Tennessee. Both games are HUGE! BYU announces football games with Tennessee and Idaho State PROVO, Utah — BYU director of athletics Tom Holmoe today announced agreements for future football games between the Cougars and the University of Tennessee of the Southeastern Conference, as well as Idaho State University of the Big Sky Conference. The Cougars and Volunteers are scheduled to meet at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Sept. 7, 2019, with the second game set for Sept. 1 or 2, 2023, at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo. The two schools have never met in football. “There’s something about those orange and white checkerboard end zones that shouts ‘Tradition!’,” BYU director of athletics Tom Holmoe said. “When the opportunity to play a series with Tennessee presented itself, we didn’t blink. They’re a storied football program with a winning tradition, national championships, a classic stadium, incredible fans and hall of fame coaches. It will be a great experience to visit SEC country and play in Neyland Stadium, and later host Tennessee in Provo.” BYU and Idaho State will also play in 2019, in a game scheduled for Nov. 16 in Provo. The Cougars and the Bengals have previously met five times in football, the first being in Pocatello, Idaho, on Nov. 4, 1932, and the most recent contest in Provo on Nov 16, 2013. BYU owns a 5-0 record in the series. “I like this regional game with Idaho State,” said Holmoe. “Pocatello is only about three hours from Provo and it’s a good regional contest for both schools. We look forward to hosting Idaho State at LaVell Edwards Stadium in 2019.” Tennessee was founded in 1794 and began playing football in 1891. The Volunteers have been a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) since its inception in 1932. Tennessee has claimed six national championships in football, captured 16 conference titles and participated in 52 bowl games—tied for the second most ever. The Volunteers have an overall record of 829-375-53 (.680). With a capacity of 102,455, Neyland Stadium is the fourth largest athletic facility in the United States. Idaho State was founded in 1901 and was a charter member of the Big Sky Conference in 1963. The Bengals compete in the Football Championship Subdivision and have captured eight conference titles. Led by former BYU assistant coach Dave Kragthorpe, Idaho State won the 1981 NCAA Division 1-AA National Championship over Eastern Kentucky 34-23 at the Pioneer Bowl in Wichita Falls, Texas. BYU was founded in 1875 and began playing varsity football in 1922. The Cougars won a national championship in 1984, have played in 35 bowl games, including each of the last 12 years, and won 23 conference titles before going independent in 2011. BYU has an overall record of 564–406–26 (.581). Over the past 30 seasons (1987-2016) BYU, Tennessee and Clemson have each won 254 games, to tie for ninth in total wins among all FBS teams. Kickoff times and broadcast plans for the games will be announced at a later date. For more information on BYU football, visit BYUcougars.com.

mugtang Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 When are we going to schedule BYU again? Norvell needs easy wins to boost his confidence. 2 Quote thelawlorfaithful, on 31 Dec 2012 - 04:01 AM, said:One of the rules I live by: never underestimate a man in a dandy looking sweater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, honestly, BYU's schedules are getting pretty full. And I think that BYU will schedule Liberty, in an effort to help another Indy out (like they did UMass). From a quality standpoint, Nevada is much better than Liberty. and would be preferred by the fans. I'm sure all Nevada would have to do is call BYU and offer a series in November and BYU would jump at it. Really depends on if Nevada is interested.

nvspuds Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Isn't the WCC normally a one bid league.. ? Gonzaga is great and Saint Mary's is having a fine season but the rest of the league is pretty much off the radar these days.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2011-2012 it earned three bids, last year just one. All other years including this - two bids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvspuds Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Thanks..It shows how mid majors go up and down. I would guess with St Mary's stepping back next year the WCC will revert to a one bid league again for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvspuds Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 St Mary's returned their whole team this year but the turnover is beginning..They have to be almost perfect to get in and the WCC is not very helpful to the cause most years.. However, having said that, the WCC is my favorite conference Nevada has ever belonged to..It was really fun.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crixus Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Does BYU regret leaving the MWC? They probably won't admit it, but I think they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgaucho Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I think deep down BYU misses the rivalries they left behind. They had something special with Wyoming, Hawaii, CSU, etc. Everyone they care about not named Utah is here. The WCC is a fine league and there is value in being with like-minded institutions. And the exposure they are getting is a big plus. But there just isn't any animosity, no vitriol, for fans towards Saint Mary's, Pacific or USD like they had here. It's different.
