Default SDSU game canceled?

Play the damn game in Provo. It's not like SDSU had a chance or they have any fans that would be upset. We might even pay them some cash for it.

Agreed 100%. BYU should play in SD even if it's in December.

If it is canceled, then BYU shouldn't be eligible for a conference title. Gotta play all the conference games to get a title.

who cares about the title. I say cancel the conference. I don't care about the MWC. Does anybody on the planet care about this piece of crap conference? My friends still don't even know what conference BYU is in. "WAC?"

I can understand your perspective, but I'd think that a lot of the folks in Utah County would care about the title.

The sad thing is that neither Utah or BYU is going anywhere. Both are stuck in this lousy conference.

Has there been any talk of playing further North? Perhaps there is a school who will allow use of their stadium while they are away on Saturday.

I don't. I can't tell you the years we won conference championship, outright or not. I can tell you which years I was happy about the team. It had to do with records, teams we beat, bowl outcomes, etc. Same for BB.

About the only good thing about a conference championship is to use in weak Ute smack. Nobody else is impressed.

I doubt that's going to happen. Aren't there fires between San Diego and LA?

Plus with the game being moved, you will have a lot of angry hoteliers and restaurants and all the other people that depend on the games for $.

How many fans do you get out to the game after you move it, traveling through the smoke and past fires? Not many.

I say roll dice to see who wins. If SDSU rolls boxcars or snakeyes they get the win. That's more than fair.
