Correct. Definitely not like Utah and 99% of colleges out there where it's winning games>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>everything else.
Honey Badger is available. Scoop that cat up!

Ya, mine was a practice. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I wanna say it was Tuesday or Wednesday.
And to be fair to Collie, most all the WRs (including Hoffman) didn't look good.

No way. The guy is a proven weed smoker. I don't want that guy within 50 miles of me or my children if he's going to be smoking the wacky tobaccy.
He's a menace to society and deserves to be rotting away in a jail cell.

I thought he was smoking that spice stuff
Synthetic weed, yes. I don't know whether it's public info (it very well may be), but it's his 3rd failed test.

Sounds like Ute material to me.

Looks like a one and done.

byu: "could we announce it as a home and home so we dont look bad? We dont need to set a date or anything."
Wisc: "Um yeah, do whatever. We'll definetely probably consider coming to provo city at some point maybe."
byu: "fetch yes!"

I'm a little confused. Before I explain what I'm confused about I have to admit I don't know how these sort of things work. Anyway, the home and home with Wisconsin was just announced about a month or so ago. That document is dated as of December 21, 2011. Something seems to be amiss here.

No idea about the date. I'm guessing they dont always announce stuff like this right when it happens.
To me it shows its a one and done because of the amount of money byu is getting, and the contract doesnt say anything about a return.
There could be a contract for the series and then a seperate contract for each game, but that wouldnt explain why there is a $1 mil payout for the game. That is the typical payout for a one and done game.

I get that haters will always hate so I know spinjobs will happen and they'll follow this post without a doubt.
Initially, BYU had to scramble for a schedule with Independence. This lasted like 1 year and the schedule sucked. But now with a nice sweet contract with ESPN (cuz they know BYU rocks) teams are beggin to play BYU and Holmoe is fighting them off with a stick. Here is a great team you got a shot at beating and you get to be on ESPN besides. So now the schedule is tougher and some would say maybe too tough. But better that than too easy.
If BYU planned on remaining independent than it could end there and Holmoe would find a nice balance in the schedule. But conferences are still talking to BYU (I know that kills Ute fans but sorry it's been true for decades). If BYU goes to a conference than those games become more difficult to fit in so BYU needs flexibility there. Hence, the TBA. Win-win because if those games don't happen it means BYU got paid (because they are feared) or BYU is in a new conference which is fine, too. It's not like Wisconsin makes or breaks BYU's schedule. They'll just fill it in with the next team wanting exposure. Shouldn't be too difficult. Remove Wisconsin and BYU is still playing Texas, Boise State, Georgia Tech, and Notre Dame next year (3 of those at home).
What is interesting is most schools use their conference as the tough part of their schedule and non-conference becomes scrimmage time. BYU as an independent has done the opposite. Renting the WAC while scheduling tougher non-conference teams.

Don't see why BYU should be knocked for the Wisconson deal. In fact, I think Holmoe should be commended on the strength of opponents he is getting. However, the problem still remains that BYU will have to play the majority of these tough games early in the season. It will be close to impossible for them to achieve schedule balance until they find their way into a conference.

Really? They should be knocked for the deal because byu announced it as a "1 for 1 we are big boys now" deal when it's likely just another one and done. Keep in mind Utah State plays at Wisconsin this year too.
You don't see the difference between the 2 for 1's and 1 and dones that byu is getting and the one for ones that Utah is? Kind of a night and day difference and a good opportunity for lulz to be had at byu's expense.
