Cougarbib Intervention Needed

agreed to on Monday, BYU would have spent a day traveling home and a day traveling to Texas. Think.

If one team is practicing at home while the other team is travelling - huge disadvantage.

Hey Holmoe, you free Saturday?

I like having 2 weeks to prep for Army

The Dark Knight

I think Army much prefers the 2 weeks for us — than vice-versa.

SinkingQuffa

And Baylor would want to play us why?

Good point. Couldn't hurt to ask!

better than nothing?

A little late for game prep there.

It generally takes more than three days to get ready for a game.

Still Open

9/9/20 7:57am

That'd be cool, but Holmoe has already gone on record saying they will leave

RockyBalboa

Same with OK State

Dr MoBYU

9/9/20 8:07am

2 days game prep?

deliciousmocha

9/9/20 8:09am

It'd be the same for Baylor - We'd be on equal footing!

ThomasQKelly

9/9/20 9:42am

think. Then speak. BYU would lose a travel day. They would not. They are well

Cougarbib

once the game would be announced, they both would know at the same time

oh please, playing the first game is worth like 5 extra practices. The game was

Think. Our live game and prep for it was for an opponent totally unlike Baylor

Cougarbib

Think.

And even if coaches admit it or not, game prep usually starts weeks ahead of

Baylor wouldn’t agree to that right now

This is the perfect example of why it is safer to keep kids on campus and play

As Pat Hill at Fresno St. used to say: "Anybody, Anytime, Anywhere"

I’m a bit surprised at how many of you want nothing to do with this game

Extra Biscuits

In addition, the athletic department needs any game they can get their hands on

Game on Monday on east coast, then travel to Texas for a game Saturday that you

Where was this concern in the past? We’ve played Monday night games followed by

BYU had played a whopping 5 Monday games in their history. 3 of them bowl games

RockyBalboa

2 regular season in the 1920s and those were regional. @USU. N. Colo in Provo.

Cougarbib

9/9/20 9:35am

Baylor postponed the game. It isn't cancelled. There has been at least 1

Cougarbib

9/9/20 9:30am

I can understand the injury concern. For that reason, sure, not a good idea

Extra Biscuits

9/9/20 9:48am

Monday to Saturday? I can't recall that ever in my lifetime

The Dark Knight

9/9/20 9:34am

Well, I guess I’m wrong then. I thought I remembered it happening a couple of

Even if it has happened in the past, it was not a P5 road game sandwiched

Overall, you’re right. But the sentiment I disagree with is the idea that only

With 2 days to prepare, plus flights/hotel, etc? Not happening.

Oh yes please!!!

Need a lot more lead time to pull off a football game

Hill4Heisman

9/9/20 10:45am

This game will be rescheduled rather then cancelled

runningryan

9/9/20 10:46am

Unlikely to be rescheduled for this season. Neither school has openings

DavidBenoit

9/9/20 11:42am

You are assuming the season isn’t extended into December

runningryan

9/9/20 3:03pm

Yes, that is correct.

DavidBenoit

9/9/20 3:09pm

its a good point that dates could open up, but once conference play gets going

cwilke1

9/9/20 3:11pm

Baylor has an opening on November 21. BYU and BAYLOR should play on that day.

DavidBenoit

9/9/20 11:41am

This is a week with low college football TV inventory. So tv channels

An away game at Baylor on Saturday is impossible to pull off.

DavidBenoit

9/9/20 2:29pm

not impossible. I can understand if BYU chooses not to and perhaps Baylor is

I disagree. It is basically impossible.

realistic and impossible are different things. If its almost end of the
