Attention SDSU Aztecs Fans: Why no 13th game?

Recommended Posts

Guest #1Stunner

It is my understanding that you can play a 13th game in any season where you play @Hawaii

I was reviewing SDSU's 2019 schedule while eating a Double Bacon Cheeseburger at Hodad's, and I see that SDSU is only playing 12 games this year!?!?!?!?!

Why no 13th game?

SDSU Aztec fans love college football more than any other California school.   Why no 13th game?

The following schools also play at Hawaii, and only have 12 games on their 2019 schedule.

Maybe John David should get one of them on the phone, and get a 13th game scheduled?     Could even be a neutral game----maybe Las Vegas?   Maybe Phoenix?

They are liking the 2 bye weeks to get healthy and keep their squad more fresh.  Fans and accountants love more games, but I doubt coaches actually do.  SDSU is also probably planning on being in the MWC Title game as well which takes out a week.

I'm afraid you are probably right about Rocky Long.

He ducks and hides from these sorts of things.   Doesn't want to give up an extra beach weekend.

Friend, SDSU has a tremendous schedule this season culminating in our rivalry weekend match up against BYU.  Preceding rivalry weekend is a trip to the islands to take on our other rival. Considering that the team will not arrive back home from the islands until about 9am local time on Sunday, it will give them one less day to prepare for rivalry weekend against BYU.  We need all of our players at full strength against BYU and we need more than three days to practice.  Hence Rocky is taking the second bye week in November to prepare for rivalry weekend.

Friend,

That makes sense.  BYU promises not to.practice on Sunday the week of our game, since SDSU also can't practice on Sunday.  We want this to be fair!

Also....full disclosure, USD is going to help BYU scout the Aztecs.  Will there be an allotment of seats for our USD friends?

The Tostitos will have to get tickets either through BYU’s block of tickets or on the open market.  However, if you are able to get Holmoe and John David together to get us our Mexico game I bet you could lobby John David for a discounted block for your conference brethren in view level end zone.

I thought that BYU counted as two games. No?

I'm more surprised that none of the teams playing in Hawaii opted to play in Week Zero before anyone else and cash in on some early PR and possible broadcast dollars. 

Me too.   Especially in beautiful San Diego where the weather won't be too bad in August.

You'd think Rocky Long would not be so selfish.... He can give up one extra beach weekend for the fans.  But I guess he insists on walking the beach and staring at the ladies.

Our Catholic Brethren USD are always claiming that SDSU disrespects them.... Tickets for USD to this game would be huge.

A better question is why are we enabling BYU who is never coming back with an end of year game?

A much better schedule would have Fresno at SDSU to end the season as those two have fought for the western division title every year.  Let BYU schedule SDSU in October.

The Twins (Fresno and SJSU) already have an intense rivalry with each other.  They play on rivalry weekend.

Also....SDSU does not want a rivalry with Fresno.  San Diego State fans don't get excited about "the Valley".  Fresno doesn't sell tickets in San Diego.

SDSU's biggest rivalry is probably UNLV.   The UNLV vs Nevada game should probably be played on October 31st weekend (Nevada Day).  That frees up SDSU vs UNLV on rivalry weekend.

BYU is doing the MWC a huge favor by playing this game.  If not for BYU, SDSU would have had a bye on rivalry weekend, since Hawaii already had a game against Army that weekend. (MWC was short a matchup on rivalry weekend).   The game also helped out BYU a lot.  Mutually beneficial for both sides.   And the game will sell tickets.

As far as I know UNLV has only taken advantage of the 13th game opportunity once, and that was the year that the Rebels were supposed to be ineligible for bowl games due to low APR (but that was lifted).  UNLV added a trip to Houston that season.

For schools like UNLV there is a huge downside to adding the 13th game because that puts you in a position where you must win 7 games to become bowl eligible.

I see UNLV and UNM as more natural rivals. 

I want to say Fresno is our "rival," but that's more from when that shitty hooptie can we play for looked brand new. Hell, you can't even call it an "interstate rivlary" because Fresno is so far off the beaten path...

We used to think of you guys as rivals, much like the Chargers saw/see the Raiders, in that everyone hates the Raiders and their cheating ways, so nobody likes them.

I guess if I were to choose a rival for us in FB, it would be Boise, as we are the two most winningest teams in the conference. :shrug:

Boise is nowhere close to a rival.  No one in the Mountain division will be a rival.  Fresno is our closest thing to a football rival, with the Nevada schools just behind.
