Holmoe getting choked up about McMahon

An attendee at Holmoe's Education Week class asked, "Why does BYU glorify Jim McMahon so much?"

Holmoe: "You're asking the wrong guy. But Jim McMahon is the best teammate I've ever had."

Holmoe got emotional and followed up, "He single-handily put BYU football on the map."

The type of people that are bothered that we “glorify” Jim have problems.

Jimmy Mac led more people to learn of the church than most State side

It's probably a significant % of Mormons

Leave it to a BYU fan to literally ask why BYU glorifies one of their greatest

I just prayed that person would get cancer. God said no, but he didn't

Option for the anti-cancer joke crowd: pray that person gets Alzheimers

Whoever asked that question was clearly dragged to that class by somebody else. No one that like BYU sports and wants

Jim McMahon was awesome. But if anyone single-handedly put BYU on the map it was

Thumbs down if you want, but this happened

Yep. And Lavell confirmed that was true, many times, in public.

Still amazed that went on as long as it did. Unheard of for most CFB coaches.....

Right? It was entertaining live sports radio for sure...

Jim McMahon is the greatest BYU football player ever...

He's one of the greatest quarterbacks in NCAA history. Anyone who saw him

BlueTooth

I still believe McMahon is the best QB to ever play at BYU

Bonoman

8/21/19 1:06pm

Oh yea, best in college football history...

CoachSpeak

8/21/19 1:22pm

Yes. And sorry Ty, Steve, Marc, Max, John, Sark, Robbie etc it's not even close

Michael McQuain

Holmoe shared an experience of when they had all the great QBs in town

McMahon/Wilson years were when the program really took off..so glad I got to see it

Bonoman

8/21/19 2:55pm

Why didn’t McMahon win the heisman that year?

Is "McMahon" Lavell's nickname?

Jimmy Mac takes care of his teammates...

this makes me want to go back and watch Mcmahon film and glorify in it.

sad part of BYU culture is that they struggle accepting people like Jim. Heck

I was there and heard a collective groan and saw the head shakes begin.

Someone who would ask the AD about this is a judgmental

I don't disagree, but look at the judgement being thrown by the many posters

People. Suck.

8/21/19 3:35pm

Why would Holmoe say " You're asking the wrong guy..."?

It was a touching moment. Best of the day.

To be honest I get choked up thinking about McMahon and the way things were...
