any word on who BYU will be playing in Nevada's vacated spot yet?

(i think this kind of insider info is ok to spill the beans on if you know anything )

First a disclaimer: I don't have any inside information.
Right now, if it can be worked out, out best bet would be to schedule our home game against Army early next year rather than 2012. It's a Division 1-A school and if recent history is any indication, a good bet for a victory. Before the deal with Army, BYU already had two 2012 OOC home games scheduled. I also believe Army bailed on one of their away-game commitments for 2008 leaving them with just 11 games scheduled right now. It would benefit both programs.

I dont think so, IIRC Tom Holmoe said that the reason it took so long for the Army negotiations to get done, was due to the fact that the soonest they could get anything scheduled was 2012. They have probably already tried to get a game sooner than that, but were not able to.

Bronco made his wishes known after the LV Bowl that he would like a 1AA team scheduled. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case.

I'd like to see the mighty Appalachian State in Provo. We can show Michigan how it's done.

I don't know why we'd need another D1-AA when you can schedule someone like Idaho and get the same result. I wonder if we'll be able to get a home game out of any deal.
