OFFICIAL: BYU POWER 5 GAME

[Ifyouonlyknew]

The football team will travel to BYU in 2016 & they will come to Starkville in 2017.

Good.

Hopefully, Diaz doesn't let his defense get it's ass kicked twice in Provo.

For those that don't get that joke, it was following Texas losing to BYU in Provo that Diaz was dismissed. I think Texas gave up over 500 yards rushing or something like that.

Last time they came to Starkville was the worst officiated football game I've ever witnessed. That said, good schedule move.

Dang, what happened with Boston College? I really didn't want to play the cheating thugs from BYU again.

It's been BYU for a while now. Once the SEC made it clear they'd accept them as an opponent the deal was done.

[BrunswickDawg]

I think we have done a pretty good job of lining up non-power Power 5 teams. None of BYU, Kansas State, NC St, or Az scare me.

[Bothrops]

Would have much rather played BC, for several reasons. Winning in Provo will be really tough.

Wasn't there some buzz around a month or 2 ago about Boston College or did I dream that?

I've seen some who thought it was BC but this has been a done deal for a couple months.

Thanks Dan

Gonna be really tough winning there, and with a new QB

[War Machine Dawg]

**** Scott Stricklin. After the 2003 bullshit, we should never give them another dime. I'd rather play the ISIS University than play BYU ever again. There are plenty of other shitty P5 schools to schedule.

[SapperDawg]

Assuming this will be a game in September, anyone care to get an early season OTC elk hunt in Utah or one of the neighboring states together the week prior to or after this game?

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

I hate the move for the same reasons that others have mentioned...they play dirty and the bull$hit they pulled in the past. They are independent now, so we know they have money. We better not be paying them a damn dime.

Sounds pretty awesome.

So you really believe that people who rape and kill women and children, burn people alive and chop off heads are better people than guy who plays rough during a football game. I think you could find a better similitude.

Maybe that BYU game a decade ago was outside of Scott's memory banks. That game left me ...and many other Bulldogs....with a bitter taste concerning BYU. I also remember a BYU/MSU basketball game a few years before that with crappy biased officiating against us.

That BYU football game was the most BLATANTLY biased officiated game I have ever seen. A dose of prison loving on our own field with their conference officials. 2 examples I still remember .. one of our defensive ends being grabbed, pulled down and tackled to the ground which enabled their rb to scamper into the endzone at that vacated spot. Another was one of our cornerbacks having inside position on a deep ball, their wide receiver was behind our cb, went over and thru our cb to get at the deep ball...and the official throwing a flag calling us for defensive pass interference!

But, we had to find a suitable opponent for 2016 nonconference game. lets hope for more honest officiating in this one.....

They cheat

Agree 100%. And I've seen a lot of bad officiating.

We had one or two TD passes called back for phantom OPI. It was ridiculous.
