When Detmer and Giff had their ceremony, Bronco said that after that season he wouldn't issue any of the retired jersey numbers, so long as he is head coach.

POLL: Chances that Jordan Leslie is the last BYU football player to wear #9

If he breaks Hoffman's records, he might be.

I think he may be referring to Collie getting his number retired, is he not?

Duke Silver

That won't happen next year, if ever

Collie wasn't even born when the guy I'm thinking of played for the Y

What guy are you thinking of? Because I wasn't born either.

Jimmy Mac

Oh yeah, I forgot he wore number 9. Before my time though, so I get a pass.

Duke Silver

Before my time too. You don't get a pass.

Nobody gets a pass for forgetting Jimmy. The best BYU QB ever.

I remember well the guy I'm thinking of. Hope it happens.

The #9 will go up but will still be worn just like #8 and #14

Oh yeah? Who's #8 and #14 this year?

Funny story about the retired numbers . . .

I remember during Heaps freshman year people talked about this same thing, but

The only barrier to McMahon's number going up was his graduation

CoopDizz

8/21/14 8:16pm

Yes, I know that has been the case for 30 years.

BYUinTX

8/21/14 8:21pm

But this is the first year he's actually graduating

CoopDizz

My OP was about Heaps getting in the HOF and not about McMahon.

8/21/14 8:23pm

Your OP was only tangentially related to the question I asked

CoopDizz

8/21/14 8:26pm

Your Poll could have been about Heaps, Collie, McMahon, Leslie, or santa Claus.

I say we let him play a game for us before naming him GOAT.

Nothing he does or doesn't do will have any bearing on the outcome

CoopDizz

8/21/14 8:21pm

You have misinterpreted the OP.

Why, because he loses the jersey?

Jake Heaps had a great Freshman year, but no way BYU retires his number!
