swim meet to accept an award. Let the minor sports stars bask in the adulation from their fans; I've never heard of most of them but their fans know them and might appreciate getting a chance to show their thanks.

Dear BYU Athletic Dept: Please do not blow Jimmy Mac's retirement ceremony!

I'm assuming you didn't attend Giff's and Ty's Jersey retirement.

Can they at least mention the names of the other individuals going

OC Coug

Recognize them at the Savanna State game. I want ESPN focused on #9!

Gene Frenkle

9/21/14 6:28pm

Wow so they can't even mention their names - I really hope they don't

OC Coug

9/21/14 6:37pm

Fantastic people who deserve recognition. Do it on a night where they will not

Gene Frenkle

9/21/14 6:41pm

This would be an incredible act of selfishness

McMahon warrants special consideration and not all HOF inductees are the same

Gene Frenkle

9/21/14 6:36pm

Get it, there are no rookies on that list.

I think the funniest thing is this guy thinks ESPN will be doing

OC Coug

9/21/14 6:40pm

The ship has sailed on this one anyway

Bingo

He didn't say anything about ESPN honoring him

Chazz Reinhold

9/21/14 6:58pm

Glad you know what I think. There will be a quick blurb about the retirement

Gene Frenkle

9/21/14 7:33pm

Well...the jersey ceremony...and oh yea, the football game they threw in...

I have a prescription for you and it is more Cowbell!

Gene Frenkle

9/21/14 7:55pm

How do you know what ESPN will do or say? You must be a ESPN program director

Chazz Reinhold

sigh

It's a football game, and McMahon was a football player. It should be his night.

Honor the HOF football inductee at the football game, gymnastics at gymnastics

ArcticKat

9/21/14 8:12pm

It makes sense to honor inductees at a sporting event for which they are known

Yeah? *suspense*

TNT

9/21/14 7:05pm

The ironic thing...Jimmy Mac would be the first to disagree with you.

BarraCouga

9/21/14 6:42pm

So how do you know the McMahon family

kotacoug

9/21/14 6:47pm

BYU will honor them all, Jimmy Mac will get some more time and jersey will be

buzzard

9/21/14 7:07pm

Which seems about right.

BarraCouga

9/21/14 7:15pm

Amen! Agree 100%

Chazz Reinhold

9/21/14 6:54pm

Gene how well do you know Jim's Dad?

pspack41

9/21/14 7:56pm

Have not talked to him in years, but used to work with him at a paper dist co.

Gene Frenkle

9/21/14 7:59pm

Dunder Mifflin?

SausageKing

9/21/14 8:18pm

Remember the 1984 team that was "honored" several years ago?

Blue Cougar

9/21/14 8:01pm

Why not just honor athletes at their respective sporting events?

MHOP

9/21/14 8:09pm

Agreed. It'd be weird to have football and basketball players show up at a

ArcticKat

Why are you addressing this to the Athletic Dept and posting it here on CB?

DazeofBlue

9/21/14 8:30pm

I thought those other people were going to be inducted into the athletic Hall

Undefeated

9/21/14 10:06pm

The fans will let Jimmy Mac feel appreciated. It will be loud.

I'm ok with the others being there, but I agree, I don't want BYU to blow this
