8/29 vs SUU
9/7 vs Baylor
9/14 at Utah State
First game in Logan since 2012.
8/29 is a Thursday
Correct. Thursday FCS season opener.
Right. Just pointing that out!
We should treat the USU game next year as an added home game. It is an easy road game and better than going south. However, Logan is not big so leave early.
It’s a 2 for 1. They come to SLC in 2026 and 2031
I know we had Baylor scheduled a long time ago. How does this fit in with our conference schedule? We get an extra conference game? I assume it counts as an in conference game for purposes of ranking?
The baylor game counts as non-conference this year to finish out the contract
NM
We could lose to Baylor, finish with a worse overall record than Baylor, have a better conference record than Baylor and make the conference championship game and playoffs while Baylor gets left out.
In other words: It doesn’t matter at all.
Next year, Rice Eccles North
Is that the stadium with the fault line running through the middle of the stands?
I thought that was Cal
It is the stadium that back in the day… had open air urinals on the east side, but that was only because trees and bushes were closer than the small restrooms.
Utah St. has @ USC the week before us. Hence, we moved Baylor to Sep 7 (who will need to reschedule their home game against AFA, probably to Sep 14th which is open for the Cadets).
We owe Utah State a monstrous beat down in their stadium. That 2012 loss still lives in my head 😡
I do remember in Logan, in the 90s, RB Chris Ma’afala laying on the turf looking like he was riding a bike as fast as he could while a USU player had ahold of his junk. They actually noted he was not wearing a cup in the game write up. I also remember Jordan Winn taking a hit that I think ended a promising QB career. I also remember getting pulled over for speeding going to the game, when the officer saw I was going to the game, even in Utah gear, quickly let me go telling me to hurry to the game that will soon start.
I’m glad State is back on the schedule but I would like to know why Harlan seems allergic to getting 7 home games when it is the practice of every other P5 to do so. For years with 5 conference road games, there should always be 3 home non-con.
It would be nice, but I don’t think Harlan is opposed. Maybe the other Pac team had more money to make it happen since I think the going rate is 1/2M$ to get a team to come in. 7 home games has always been uncommon. I think that was part of the problem with scheduling USU. For years we traded home and home with neither paid. Moving into the Pac we wanted 2 for 1 or one offs which changed the payment calculus and upset some wagon somewhere.
every home/home with a G5 he’s signed up has been road first and coincides with the years Utah is set for 5 conference home games. if it happens every time, it has to be deliberate
If he doesn’t alternate 6 and 7 home games, how are they going to raise ticket prices? Oh, your price is the same as last year (6 games this year vs 7 last year) then oh, your per game price is the same! (7 games vs 6)
