of tickets sold is just the cherry on top. What they are really looking for are eyeballs on tv.

McMurphy projection - no bowl for BYU

That would suck. I don't see that happening.

You need to worry about your own bowl eligibility.

Ya! Yewts shouldn't have opinions or make comments. Go home, Dirty Yewts!

Ah ha! Now you're catching on.

it would not suck at all. It would be amazing. It won't happen though.

He didn't pay attention to media day. ESPN guarantees a bowl

If bowl eligible, we will play in the Frisco Bowl v. AAC

boscatar

The Fiasco Bowl? What's that?

Borg

9/6/17 8:06am

Holy crap - they are playing a bowl game at that stadium? 20,500 capacity

Skeptical Optimist

9/6/17 8:07am

Do most bowls even get 20k attendance?

kotacoug

It's going to be awesome. I promise.

9/6/17 10:22am

that's an appropriate size for half of the bowl games

cwilke1

9/6/17 11:48am

Even the New Mexico bowl had 30k people. Looks like only 5 bowl games last

Skeptical Optimist

9/6/17 12:40pm

Yes because UNM was playing in its hometown city.

McMurphy changed his prediction to factor in BYU and Frisco Bowl's at large bid

boscatar

9/6/17 11:06am

Losses to Utah, BSU, MSU, Wisconsin, LSU, ECU?, one more....

rggee

Says we'll be eligible but no open bowl.

soupie

9/6/17 8:09am

Also not gonna happen, we've had ineligible teams play the past few years cause

rggee

9/6/17 8:09am

Not saying I agree but wanted to be sure you understood his point. Didn't seem that way.

soupie

9/6/17 9:08am

He has Idaho playing Houston in the Frisco Bowl. That's an open spot.

boscatar

9/6/17 8:11am

I'm pretty sure he forgot about BYU and backpedaled with his "eligible but no

rggee

9/6/17 8:13am

We travel well I doubt a bowl would pass up an eligible BYU if they can take us.

IceCreamButt

9/6/17 8:23am

ECU? The same team that lost by 30 to FCS James Madison at home?

VACOUGFAN

9/6/17 8:12am

Exactly. It's not gonna happen.

rggee

9/6/17 8:12am

JMU is a legit team this year. Easily #1 in FCS and has multiple NFL players

boscatar

9/6/17 8:14am

They only lost by 20 (34-14) to JMU

BYU Fan

9/6/17 8:17am

Boise barely beat Troy

2FarGone

9/6/17 8:41am

I agree with him. I think it is pretty bad at byu right now

idacoug

9/6/17 8:09am

Mangum will look like a Heisman candidate down the stretch

boscatar

9/6/17 8:11am

You must really think LSU sucks then

2FarGone

9/6/17 8:22am

Dude, step off the ledge. But for bone headed penalties we would have scored

kansascougar

9/6/17 8:26am

You don't think we will get 6 wins? We play Umass, Hawaii, unlv, San Jose, and

The guy can't even spell Irma right, I wouldn't trust his prognostication.

sgriff

9/6/17 8:11am

Great thing about bowl projections...they change as season goes

Idahofallsblue

9/6/17 8:14am

No way that happens. Bowl games want to make money and BYU fans travel well.

Random Walk

9/6/17 8:15am

Will we travel well if we're 6-7?

boscatar

9/6/17 8:37am

Yes.

kccougar

9/6/17 8:39am

Not as well as if the record is 10-3. But probably better than most other 6-7

crack

9/6/17 8:46am

What if the Frisco Bowl's options to face 8-4 Tulsa are 6-7 BYU or 9-2 Ark St.?

boscatar

9/6/17 9:37am

I am not smart enough to know the answers to any of that kind of stuff.

crack

9/6/17 10:03am

IMO, there's a decent chance that a local CUSA or SB team would play local Tulsa

boscatar

9/6/17 11:02am

Doesn't ESPN own all (or at least most of) the bowls? If so, I think the amount

crack

9/6/17 11:05am

True. I agree that BYU v. Tulsa gets more TV eyeballs that Tulsa v. Ark St., etc

boscatar

9/6/17 11:07am

well maybe not this year if Ark. St. has a high-powered offense and

cwilke1

9/6/17 1:27pm

Clearly he's not credible. Doesn't even know it is Irma with an I.

Y05

9/6/17 9:57am

when was the last time P5s filled all their bowl slots?

Kerbouchard

9/6/17 10:35am

He shows BYU as the replacement for the Sun Belt in the new Frisco Bowl

Cougrrrs Roll

9/6/17 11:04am

He fixed it. See the comments

rggee

9/6/17 11:07am

Some have predicted BYU in Las Vegas v. UCLA. Frisco as Houston v. Boise

boscatar

9/6/17 11:08am

Why is McMurphy publishing on Facebook?

EastCougar

9/6/17 1:01pm

He got laid off at ESPN, and he does not have a new job yet.
