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

Unfortunately the self-righteous crowd is alive and well

It's probably a significant % of Mormons

Exactly! He didn't obey the honor code much

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

Was it Michelle Peralta that asked?

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

Seems to me it's the kind of joke you're only allowed to make if you have/had to

Whoever asked that is a world class (fill in derogatory term here)

RockyBalboa

8/21/19 12:17pm

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

No, probably went to the class to specifically ask the stupid question

I've seen people like that at the Coach's show. They are always shocked when

Pretty sad that some BYU people have such a narrow view of who should

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

Say whatever you want about McMahon's attitude towards "BYU", but Jim....

Thumbs down if you want, but this happened

cajuncoug

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

Hearkens back to LaVell's wild...UN call-screened post game show

Michael McQuain

8/21/19 12:35pm

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

Bonoman

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

I was always impressed how patient LaVell was given how ridiculous some of the

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

This!! He is the reason I am a BYU fan! Dude is awesome!

Mathew

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

StalwartBraveTrue

8/21/19 2:42pm

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?

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

its a real thing. I’m not going to pretend it doesn’t exist. It reared it’s head

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

macdizzle

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

People. Suck.

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...
