It would mean more to the fans and wouldn't hurt anybody's feeling, because they would know their time will come and they wouldn't have to share it. Plus, it would increase tickets sales for multiple events, not just one.

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

Gene Frenkle

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

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

This would be an incredible act of selfishness

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

Gene Frenkle

Get it, there are no rookies on that list.

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

Gene Frenkle

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

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

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

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

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

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

Which seems about right.

Amen! Agree 100%

Gene how well do you know Jim's Dad?

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

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

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

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
