KU and KSU both have their OOC game currently on the schedule. In the B12 only Tech doesnt have something at least unofficially lined up. Enjoy Lubbock... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And Thompson was a mouthpiece in all of this. Actually no one has spoken from the MWC yet. We knew the three options. Sure, they went from conference only to two non-con games but they are still sticking with ten games. So, as Brett says, they had to consider Air Force. ( Amazingly I never thought of this and has not been brought up on conversation. This was a no-brainer.) And if they are only going with two OOC games, they are obviously still concerned about other conferences protocol methods. And the teams that still have two non-con games scheduled will keep those agreements. Instead of thinking everything this conference does is about BYU maybe you should give them respect for not jumping the gun to early and taking the time to explore every option. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We'd get the tour of Dallas / Fort Worth. One of the games could be played at Honda Stadium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OK, the Air Force accommodation makes sense. But I think there was an equal accommodation for Boise and USU keeping BYU. Aren't both games on the road for BYU? No way Boise turns that down. Not with the pending lawsuit against the MWC. And...donations to Bronco Athletics from Meridian would evaporate overnight.... @BroncoOrange I also have to wonder if Boise secretly had BYU listening in on the Zoom meeting and if the two strategized together.

I can't tell if you're being serious. I'm done. You're giving me a headache. But remember, every teams has a full schedule they can still play in the MWC except two or three teams. They aren't gonna cancel games when the opponents are available. How many of those teams will choose BYU over an AAC team, Army, or another team from another conference? Yeah, I'm sure you might get an extra game or two in the MWC but I'm also sure you will be last up by one or two as well. Or maybe, all of them will tell you to piss off. We don't know. The meeting is in progress and it's probably gonna take a few days before those schedules are filled. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think CSU, UNLV, Hawaii, and New Mexico are the most likely to schedule BYU. We'll see! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What's your take on Fort Worth? @RSF and the other Texas Christian fans claim it's a lot nicer than Dallas. They said the SMU campus is in a crappy area. I'd also be curious to hear your take on North Texas State University. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
