PROVO — If Marc Lyons could script his final BYU football broadcast at the conclusion of 38 seasons, it would probably take place on New Year’s Day at the illustrious Fiesta Bowl in warm and sunny Arizona, and the game would feature two ranked teams.
Instead, he’ll be in chilly Boise as the Cougars (6-6) battle Western Michigan (7-5) in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on Dec. 21.
That aside, this contest will mark the end of an era for Lyons — and for all of the fans that have listened to him explain the game for decades.
