BYU on the slate

[sportsart]

Warde has no chance on this board. He is silent on an open 2014 date and people call him a slacker.

He gets a home and home with a national name with a pretty damn good history and then anyone can schedule BYU.

Yup... no stroke of genius.

Someday I'm going to follow through on my idea to write a novel and then produce a documentary about the life and times of Boneyarders.

Not sure if the category will be fantasy or horror.

Me and Jenny Lawrence will be knocking down a few after the Oscars, shining each others' hardware, so to speak.

This game in 2014 is on a Thursday, no? Ugh.....Thursday tailgates are always the worst because of work, etc.....however, it will be in August so it'll be warm at least. Overall, great OOC pickup

Well, good luck deciding what the appropriate cuisine will be for BYU's visit. Having been to Salt Lake at least four times, I'm not sure how to theme that one. (Other than serving non-alcohol drinks, which is not going to happen).

I travel to SLC on business pretty frequently and have never had trouble getting hammered. They have some silly regulations but loosened up a bit for the Olympics. As far as unique Utah cuisine I don't have a clue. This article says they consume more jell0 per capita than any state in the nation. Maybe thats the direction to go in. Jello shots!!!

You have time, plan ahead... Thursday of Labor Day weekend!! Maybe they make it an 9est game for the Utah crowd.

"“We are grateful to UConn for the opportunity to play this home-and-home series and look forward to the games,” said BYU director of athletics Tom Holmoe. "The Huskies have played great football as an FBS member, winning league titles and earning numerous bowl invitations. Scheduling this game in the Northeast gives our fans traveling to the game opportunities to visit places they may not have been before. We are also excited to welcome UConn to Provo for its first-ever visit to LaVell Edwards Stadium.”"

BYU sounds like such a class act. I for one am excited that they're on the schedule!

Think positive, you could take Friday off and make it a great long weekend which is kicked off by a tailgate! Sounds like you're already ahead of the game there... Plus, I'll take a night game in August any day of the week even if it means a Thursday night. The games in the sun are just brutal that time of year, especially if you seat on the sunny side of the stadium.

I'm a teacher so if I'm lucky we'll start the year after Labor Day that year....that would be awesome! Plus my daughter should 3 by then and it's about time she starts seeing ehr first UConn game.....hopefully it'll be next season vs Michigan! She'll be 1 and will go for free....awesome!

 

[TouchdownHusky]

This is a solid home and home. Much better than the usual home opener!

Nice job for UConn. Change of momentum maybe?

Yeah, that's why college football never caught on in the south.

 

[UkonCornelius]

Nice pickup. But, this was no stroke of genius by Warde grabbing an independent. Plus NBE is probably begging BYU to join the flaming pile of .

Way to put a negative spin it...

byu thursday night notes:
-many casual fans are going to vaca that weekend instead of a thursday night game. if they are leaving friday they will see it as not good to stay up late for leaving early
-we wont open the lots to 4 or 5pm. should be open at lunch.
-lots will close within a hour of the game. at most big boy schools lots would close friday noon ish.
-students wont come until a houre before game time and will leave early at best if there even in school considering the weekend. the holiday and timing of this game will lead to a half atempt by students at best
-we will still have no real cool entrance because our ad sucks
-we will still be playing welcome to the jungle like we get paid to or something every 3rd down
-the dj will be alive and rocking instead or murdered and burried under a rock off the coast of madison ct
-warde will have a bagel and cream cheese and laugh it up with p

Why Fishy ever let you back so early it's be on me. You're being an idiot. Attention seeking is what children do.

We know your childish rant by heart. Please go to the women's board and complain about their shorts.

I would rather have 15 trolls posting here on a daily basis then read your crap anymore. As I write this I just remembered we can ignore people.

We finally get a little bit of positive news with BYU and you p.iss all over it.

Rant away. I won't see it any way.

You're going off the deep end for scheduling a legit home game on opening night of college football that will no doubt be the marquee game of the night on national television. It's the students fault if they aren't at the game. However the first game of the year is always the best attended by students year in and year out. Having a marquee game for season ticket holders that may consider traveling if the game is against UMass or Fordham will think twice for this game. Your analysis in this instance is just plain wrong.

wrong. ole miss plays bosie state. this is the typical uconn fan response with blue glasses. u have no clue what else is going on in college football. u just asume thru blue galsses that w/e warde and susan do is the best thing ever. so please, redo your argument now that u know your wrong the 1st time.

What?

Sarcasm about remark about hot August afternoon games. A way of life down south and they seemed to have picked up the game rather well.

 

[CTMike]

We aren't perfect. I'm psyched for this game regardless.

 

[uconnflyer88]

So which one of the guys who dogged Warde for months and months about not doing anything about 2014 is going to write him the apology letter?

Another case of foot in mouth for a lot of you guys on the board......another example of let the people who actually know what they're doing, do their duckING JOB!!!!!

You are bi-polar... Go find your tread from earlier today when you said you couldn't rip WM for this get - then Rum Runner makes the claim that BYU is easy to schedule and then jump on his bandwagon....

byu is a good schooa nd brand. i am noit ripping warde. i'm ripping all of u who think way to highly of this. its not the #1 game so why is it on a thursday night? the return trip is bs becuase oits during the meat of a conf schedule. that means we will take 2 bye weeks early in the year and play like 8 straight to finish the year. it also means 1 of those bye weeks comes during a good or atleast better weather weekend where we could have better tailgating and amounts of fans. all of this type of stuff goes over ppls heads becuase they dont get it. it goes over wardes head becuase he doesn't get it. then the 2 of u together dont get it and as result u like each other and think a like. congrats.

 

[Rumrunner]

Don't make this out to be something it isn't. Call a spade a spade. Look at the difficulty that BYU has had in scheduling late season ganes. Heck, that excuse was thrown into some posters' face when they suggested uconn go indy in football. "You can't get teams to play in the late fall." Also, to use the SEC as an example in playing late season ooc games? huh? they play patsies AT home, other than the big rivalry games.

Look at byu's home slate in mid october for the next 5 years. UConn is joined by whom exactly? To suggest manuel pulled off a coup by agreeing to travel to Provo in the last week of october?

So which one of the guys who dogged Warde for months and months about not doing anything about 2014 is going to write him the apology letter?

A Thursday night game to open the CFB season against a "good school and brand"? I'll take it... Let's see, this year's game is USCe versus UNC.

Maybe our bye week in 2015 is the week after the BYU road game?

But pee away on the program and the uneducated people like me who post here. That works.

the bye week will be early now becuase we put a ooc game late in the season instead of a conf game. the slots get schuffled. my point is now all other conf teams will have a bye at somem point in there and we will play 6-8 games straight w/e the # will be and earlier in the year we will have 2 quick byes around our ooc schedule which will basically be wasting good weather weekends and a fcs type team weekend as a bye(somewhat...).

You know when the bye week is in 20115..? Is there some scheduling rule that I am unaware of?? My point is your guess is as good as mine.

 

[UConnDan97]

This is a very good game to schedule. Period.

Everyone needs to take a freakin' chill pill. I'm really starting to get irritated by the neverending belly moaning on this board. Even people that I thought were positive will find the absolute craziest things to be negative about. This is why we can't have nice things!!! It's a very good home-and-home series to have. Kudos to Warde for signing it up. Let's try to get a couple more just like it, insure that we get our butts on tv as much as possible in front of as many eyeballs as possible, and let's continue to make a name for ourselves...
