Getting to know Tina Kunzer-Murphy

Name: Tina Kunzer-Murphy, Las Vegas Bowl executive director

Job Description: Keeping her fingers crossed that Wyoming or BYU become bowl eligible.

What's on your bookshelf? "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey. It's about an alcoholic who finds himself beat up on a plane in Bolivia and he doesn't know why.

What's in your CD player? Anything by Van Morrison. I just love him.

What's in your DVD player? "Friday Night Lights."

The last thing you TIVO'd: "Lost." "West Wing" is on the same night so we usually wind up taping one of them.

Bowl Championship Series or college football playoff? BCS. Of course.

Ideal Las Vegas Bowl matchup: UNLV vs. USC. With a special invite to all Wyoming fans to attend.

Last nonbreathing thing you'd grab before the hurricane hit: My golf clubs and my Jimmy Choo shoes. I love shoes. I'm addicted to them.

People may not know that I ... am the only female bowl director in the country.
