You are right....LES is not a fantastic game-day experience.....in fact, it is pretty marginal, but it is all we have. Every time I see Tom Holmoe I bug him about tailgating and pep rallies. He is probably sick of it by now. The tailgate atmosphere sucks at BYU.....but nevertheless, YARDTIME and bucko did one for the wyoming game and we had a great time. They didnt let the lack of participation by others dampen their own enthusiasm. All these improvements have to start somewhere.

It is always better to go and support (when you can), than to not attend.

Speaking of the Wyoming game, that place was a morgue. You could hear individuals clapping in the North or South endzones, and i was sitting in the east stands.

I've never been to a game at LES that got as quiet as that one did there in the second half.

Which was REALLY annoying, considering the chatter of the fools sitting behind us.

what's wrong with playing Hawaii? Better than another 1-AA team.

Exhibit A on Bronco being a pussy. He wants this WAC/MWC schedule.

God, I hope this entire earth blows up in Armageddon before then.

It would be nice to play A&M or a Big 12 team. Of course, most of those teams are too busy trying to play the Sunbelt teams.

it seems every time BYU plays a big name team it's in a "down" year. Washington and UCLA are big name programs, but we beat them and everyone just talks about how bad they are.

They are complaining. Did you miss the article posted on here recently about Nebraska mad that the mid majors want home and homes now? The difference with BYU is the size of our stadium. Money isn't the issue. They just don't want to take the risk with a team like BYU.

Wait until next year when we play Florida State.....they suck right now, too.

It actually is a good strategy.
