So it doesn't help much next year, but BYU has just agreed to play the Army Black Knights (1 for 1) in '11 and '12.

Solid scheduling, can't hurt us and still gets attention when you play the academies....Better than 90% of Hawaiis schedule this year.

As I stated in another thread this is a disappointing agreement. When Tom Holmoe announced that we were in negotiations with a "big-name program in the East who we had never played before," most of us were thinking/expecting an Alabama or Auburn type matchup.

Given the initial hype his negotiations generated, small wonder Holmoe didn't bother to put out a press release or anything about the contract.

Fans were expecting a lot more than they got with this arrangement.

Maybe he's in negotions with another east coast team.

Army?! Wow. What a powerhouse.

We have played Alabama before, a one time deal in '98 (could have been '99)
