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.

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.

Was that supposed to be smack against the Utes? If so, you're right. It was incredibly weak.

Ok, so you're the only one in Utah County that doesn't care about a conference title.

No it wasn't Ute smack it was smack against the smackers. I'm usually a pretty fair representation of Utah County BYU fan population. Go ask 1,000 BYU fans which season was more satisfying 1994 10-3 win over Notre Dame, Oklahoma blow out win in bowl game, and top 25 ranking, but 2nd place in WAC or 1995 7-4 WAC champions no bowl game no signature win. Conference championship means JACK.
