I honestly don't even care. Seriously. BYU is nothing but trouble. The farther we can stay away from them the better as far as I am concerned. They are fun games, but I won't lose any sleep over it. I wouldn't mind playing them at some point again in the future, but only on H/H terms.

You're really looking forward to New Mexico State or Marshall in 2023 huh

I think BYU dropped a 2023 home game against Rice. Perhaps we pick that one up.

I am very biased as Rice alum and current Houston resident. This is what I want… although I can’t imagine it’d be very good football lol

Uhm but yea it will, it will be the P4 in the SEC-AA and half of the B12 schools will not be invited, including Baylor and TCU. Notre Dame will be the only private school invited becau$e of $ome rea$on.

I’d be all for a home/home with Kansas. Winnable P5 game and a Nice 3.5 hours from me.

I'd call Kansas immediately. I'm sure we'll renew the rivalry with New Mexico State though.

I’ll miss playing them, just like the Utes. Hate both schools and their fan bases. No reason to pretend like we don’t enjoy in-state rivalry games. Stupid to see what their athletic directors have done to ruin these rivalries.

There’s a talent discrepancy with us and the Utes, but nothing close to other states P5s vs G5s.

With regard to scheduling I give BYU more of a pass, as they have to shed a lot of scheduled games in order to fit their Big12 schedule. But they usually schedule USU in basketball and football.

Utah only cancelled playing USU after they lost in football and basketball. They have refused to ever play a game in Logan ever again.

I can understand where BYU is coming from. It just doesn’t make sense for either of our schools to play on the other’s terms. What is strange about Utah is they then turn around and play a home and home with Wyoming.

If you’re going to schedule a G5 while ignoring the better one in your own yard and “big time them” at least don’t find a lesser G5 also in your yard.

I predict that at first BYU will be on their best behavior with the Big 12... but then within the first 3-5 years every school in the Big 12 will despise them. It seems to happen with everyone BYU plays.

BYU thinks it's because everyone is jealous of them. The proverbial "they just hate me because they can't date me"

But that doesn't make sense as most of the schools, especially schools outside of Utah have had nothing to be jealous of when they stopped liking BYU.

It won't even take 3 years. Those people won't be able to control themselves that long.

It would be a winnable game in one of the best high school recruiting areas. Be a good opportunity for our Texas players to have friends and family be able to attend.

BYU no doubt brought fans into Romney. But what was the cost? In my memory, (what little there is left of it), after USU built competitive FB and BB teams, we immediately signed away the rights to compete with them on an equal basis>>>>> home and home.

Stan Albrecht was a loyal BYU alum.

Utah is dead to me. They have done it several times. They have scheduled home and homes with WYO, SDSU, Fresno, SJSU and Northern Illinois while altogether squashing a series that has been played ~100 times.

Unfortunately Rice has already replaced their BYU game with UConn so they no longer have an opening. SMU has an opening though, which is only a few hours away. Tulane also has an opening.

Post by **GeoAg** » May 12th, 2022, 2:14 pm

utah is the worst and refuses to play us in anything.

At least at this point byu has said they will work for future opportunities and is still playing us in basketball.

If the Big XII is really going to a 9 game schedule I can see why.

Fine with this for byu.

Utah can lose every game for all I care. They have treated us way worse over the last couple of decades. screw them.

This scheduling cancellation and replacement development will take some time to sort out and work through. I wouldn't expect a stunning game schedule upgrade any time soon, especially with the historically our game day attendance at the Mav.

We've had decades to address the pathetic game day attendance and, as an institution, and done nothing to resolve the situation.

Following the Utah series cancellation we should have been motivated to do something beyond raising game day and season ticket pricing, BUT WE HAVE FAILED.

Have you watched much football? Teams everywhere are playing in front of more empty seats than fans. Tight shots of the field could allow you to forget all the empty seats while watching on TV. I guess you can look at attendance numbers and see Air Force had more fans than USU did vs North Dakota State the week earlier. However if you were there live there would be no doubt which game had more fans. USU has improved a lot in the last decade. Is there more to be done, sure. Failed however? I think growing a fan base while attendance across the nation attendance is dropping is an accomplishment. Blame ticket prices, kickoff times made to fill TV slots, or a generation of disinterested students for empty seats. I doubt game day attendance in Logan has much to do with what team agrees to visit.

I toats trust ybu to honor that

And since we're doing away with divisions, why not just schedule more MWC teams? We have 11 to chose from. I'd love the idea of playing SDSU every year (for my own personal HOME GAME EVERY OTHER YEAR! WOOT reasons).

At least you have a team you can still cheer for against them regularly! Most of us would think it would be funny if they were to go through another multi-year road losing streak before ending it against BYU, while I know you would like to see that certain team start regularly winning road games other that the ones at BYU.

Actually Full, you and I have much in common even per our apparent differing view points. Would be good to just get together and have a conversation sometime. Suspect we'd have more in common than differences.

What I am saying, is if you can see a nicer neighborhood to live in, you then work out how to live in that neighborhood, you figure out how to get there. Once you've arrived, you see and associate with folks that may benefit you over time.

Agreed that T V is carving into the ranks of the game day population, no quarrel, valid point. My take away here is that UTAH STATE has not demonstrated measurable capacity to increase game or season ticket sales, and likely won't until and unless the WASATCH FRONT is properly cultivated by more than an occasional drive by effort.

Our attendance depends who we play too. We have always solid attendance for BYU and Boise State games, and low attendance for weak and further away opponents. I wished that we got Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, and etc. as our opponents in Logan because that would drum up some extra excitement.

They claimed day in and day out they wouldn’t do the same thing if the roles were reversed. Now look at them, same (I can't express myself without swearing), different toilet.

They can die a slow death in the Big XII for all I care.

Exactly. I hate byu and utah passionately. My hatred makes me want USU to beat them as much as possible. I was a few years out of school in 2010 and 2012, but I was still on the field with the students storming the field when we beat byu and utah. Those were awesome nights. Never understood the feeling of "I hate them so I don't want to play them" that some on here have.

And it is just better for attendance and getting the casual fans excited for Aggie games. All of us that post on this site are hardcore fans, but many Aggie grads aren't. Anyone on here that knows the experience of trying to convince a friend or a girlfriend to come with them to an Aggie game(especially driving from SLC) knows it is much easier when it is a rivalry game.

slcagg · Post by **slcagg** » May 12th, 2022, 9:41 pm

I will say I really can’t stand a lot of their fans. Many of them are saying a 2-1 or nothing because they are now p5.

What they don’t realize low end p5 schools don’t do 2-1 with g5 schos they do a 1-1. Look at Utah and others.

Close to the top programs like oregon might do a 2-1 or just a home payout game.

Good point. Hopefully we schedule a P5 team

In a perfect world, Utah will pull their head out of their a*s and sign a long-team deal with us and stop scheduling ybu all together. Especially once the Pac 12 goes back to 8 conference games. Over time, our rivalry will build again and ybu will become the weird religious school no one really cares about that we play in basketball once in a while.

I honestly don't even care. Seriously. BYU is nothing but trouble. The farther we can stay away from them the better as far as I am concerned. They are fun games, but I won't lose any sleep over it. I wouldn't mind playing them at some point again in the future, but only on H/H terms.
You're really looking forward to New Mexico State or Marshall in 2023 huh
Haha so true.

"I hope we never play byu. I want nothing to do with them!"

"Why is our attendance low? Why don't people on the Wasatch Front come to more Aggie games?"

Same people. The reality is this is a blow. It isn't surprising with their move, but it is much better for USU to play Utah and byu as much as possible. Casual fans don't care about games against Uconn and Idaho State, sorry.

Hopefully the rivalry will continue in basketball. I get football not playing every year even though the games should still be played regularly, but there is no excuse for utah and byu to not play us every year in basketball.

I agree that it would be good to play BYU and Utah from a business perspective given the right terms.. There is no deal with Utah or BYU so clearly there are no terms agreeable to all sides. (On the other end of the spectrum they’d probably not have cancelled anything if all games were in Provo)

Secondly filling our stadium with their fans every other year isn’t the attendance people truly want.

Lastly, for me personally when I say “I want nothing to do with them” it’s much more personal. So the only healthy thing for me to do is to let it go. I can’t do that if we regularly play BYU because I love the Aggies. I want literally nothing to do with the entire school. Not just nothing to do with their football team. I want nothing to do with anything BYU.

I could go into how much I dislike BYU. I could say why and how for me personally it completely upends the supposed purpose of BYU. But that’s an even longer rant.

So yes, the TL;DR is although it takes away an in-state game that people look forward to that was once home & home; I don’t look personally forward to that game and am glad it’s over.

Sure they bring people, but it isn't just their fans. More Aggies than normal go to the games against utah and byu. Sometimes with casuals it is the only game on the schedule they show up for.

I'll never understand not wanting to play and beat your rival, but many on here share your view.
