yeah, i thought there were more bowl games on or after 1/1/18 but was wrong. there are zero for the big 12. nonetheless, it seems like a huge stretch to commit to that date, especially because it would be currie saying he doesn't think we will make the playoff. and even if we were in a normal bowl game, you'd play the game, travel home, and announce a new coach within the next week. it just doesn't make any sense to me. again, maybe mcmurphy just got/interpreted the wrong date.
