How does it feel to get to the top of this mountain?

This is what I will be laughing my butt off about. If BYU gets to a BCS game, most of those praising Bronco for his stratgy won't be able to get tickets.

You think they were tough to get and pricy for last years Vegas Bowl, wait until we make a BCS bowl. Lot's of people who don't even follow BYU will be asking for and getting tickets from BYU.

The last game I saw at LES was BYU losing to Southern Cal.

I'm actually planning to go to Seattle for the Washington game. I'm pretty sure I won't be going to any of the games at LES.

I will of course go to the TCU game in Fort Worth.

That's cool. I understand your frustrations as I don't like the dumbing down of schedules either, but am kind of resigned to the sucky situation as well.

I'm also going up to the Washington game in Seattle. I've never been to the Northwest and am really looking forward to it.

I'm planning on hitting the TCU game. I'm hoping that the Cowboys play that Sunday in Dallas as well so that I can make it a double header.

I've grown up a Cowboys fan and have never been to a game in person and would love to go.

If that is true, maybe Bronco is fighting Holmoe in the media. Bronco wins that fight 99 times out of 100.

I am with you. If they truly schedule a 1AA game next year, my guess is I will attend more road games than games in LES. Wash, AFA, TCU and Utah.

We will see. Bronco may be fighting some other supporters too.

I know people hate me to say this, but money talks and CB opinions don't mean much.

It isn't my money I am talking about either so don't go off on what a egotistical jackass I am.

This is where Holmoe tells Bronco that he is the boss, and he will play the schedule that is given to him.

UCLA
SDSU
WYO
UNM
UNLV
div 1AA

Is there anyone excited about this home schedule?

Outside of the UCLA game, you could go to everyone of those games for free. Wait outside the stadium and someone will hand you a ticket. The UCLA game will cost you above face. That tells the admin what the demand is and the potential for revenues with an improved SOS.

Here is my question: do we have any evidence whatsoever that BYU could schedule a BCS team this late in the game to come to Provo next year to fill the slot vacated by Nevada? I find that extremely unlikely. Which makes this whole debate about Bronco's "balls of chalk" kind of absurd.

LOL, you will have to be a ways a way from the stadium.

I wanted a nephew to unload two tickets I had last year to the EWU game. He gold me security told him to get his butt and those tickets away from the stadium.

Only BYU is allowed to scalp tickets.

It would be if he was smart enough not to say what his intentions were and claim they couldn't schedule anyone good, Nevada backed out to late, which by the way is Holmoe's spin.

That isn't what Bronco has been saying. Kudo's for being honest Bronco even though it doesn't get you anything.

I agree with you there. He should stick with "This is the only team we could get" and not "This is my best way to scam us into a BCS bid".
