k, it looks like this independance deal is going to work out really nice due to the contract with ESPN. Texas and Notre Dame already wanting to play us because they won't be buried on the MTN network when they do. My only concern is, we can't play texas and Notre Dame every week or we will get beat up. Notre Dame is down but they are one good coach away from being a NC contender every year. BYU needs balance on this schedule especially without a conference championship or we will end up 6-6 and irrelevant every year.

when you're indy, these is no conference championship and an extended amount of time to get all your games in. There will be enough patsies.



After all the good and surprising news today, let's not assume that the BYU administration has come off all half cocked. They know what they're doing.



The MWC not only has to be in shock, but now they have to absorb fresno and nevada and explain to comcast who's going to watch their games.

The Hair has a lot of explaining to do and every school president that wouldn't allow us our broadcasting freedom look like morons now.



See this is what concerns me. Boise is good, Texas is good, ND is one good coach away from being good. Traveling to Hawaii is no laughing matter (anyone remember what they did to Detmer in 90 not to mention the 2001 debacle). Utah state will probably rarely beat us but if we keep scheduling teams the caliber of Texas, ND and Boise every week, we are going to get beat up and battered and be lucky to get out of most seasons with a winning record.

I believe the pushovers are the WAC teams next year and the year after. We'll have plenty of them. I see about four pushovers, another 2-3 up and coming teams (read winning records), 2-3 solid teams (top 25), and 2-3 elite teams (top 10). That is the kind of schedule that gets you all kinds of street cred and is what the dominant teams in college football play. Can we play with them or not? I say we can as I think this will inspire the recruits to come to BYU when they see who they will be playing on a national stage.

What I am hoping is that we can schedule the patsies early in the season and in between the better teams. Funny how our worries went from not being able to get good teams to come play to now we have too difficult a schedule.

I wonder if it's 3 in South Bend and 3 in Provo or 4 and 2?

this is what I want to know. I hope it isn't the equal of 2 2 and 1's, but a 6 year deal worth 3 and 3. Considering that ESPN will televise each Provo game, I like the chances of it being 3 and 3. BYU gets 3 NBC games, Notre Dame gets # ESPN games. Works great for both.

Holmoe said on True Blue tonight that it would be 2 2-1s (4 in South Bend and 2 in Provo).



Notre Dame joins Texas on that list of teams BYU will play 2-1. And I'm okay with that.
