Jim McMahon - The Time is Finally Here

Been a long time coming, but he has finished his classwork.

I wonder if they retire the jersey/entrance into the HoF this year or wait until next year.

Not sure how fast the administration will process, but after course completion they need to graduate him. Not sure if they will expedite between periods or have him walk with the next class. That would be huge to have him walk. But it is a delay. I hope they let Jim decide.

Congratulations and thanks for helping put Brigham Young in the national spotlight. I'm glad you came back to get it done.

I had the fortune of living in Chicago when Jim played for the Chicago Bears. My sister-in-law taught him in high school. And, of course - at BYU he rocked the nation. Deserved a Heisman Trophy IMHO. Those Super Bowl Rings were sweet.

Bueno. Excellent. And yes, I agree that Jim McMahon deserved winning the Heisman. Big congrats to Jim. Job well done. One helluva QB. It was the "house of thrills" when Jim was on the field.

This is very happy news! I feel a big celebration coming on with a satisfying healing element to it as well.



I was in Jack Murphy stadium when Jim refused to lose to SMU. It is one of those stories that, if you weren't there, it is hard to describe the magic that took place that night in front of the faithful that stayed to watch it unfold.

I was in Chicago watching it on a delayed broadcast on an obscure channel and got so engrossed that I forgot that it was 4:00 AM when the broadcast ended and called my best friend in Utah to talk about the game. I can still remember his wife answering the phone. H e l l o?

I think Holmoe has this at the top of his to-do list. Jimmy Mac's biggest motivation for doing this was so that his dad could see it happen, and his dad is ailing. TH has been his biggest cheerleader and knows the situation, so I doubt he delays any more than absolutely necessary.

I am glad the admin stuck to their guns on his graduating. It shows a commitment that carrys a whole lot more weight as a school HOF rather than just a FB HOF. Good for both BYU and Mac.

LOL! But what a slap that would be

Looks like it will go down at the Utah State game.



Vai spilled the beans in yet another self-congratulatory "article" in the DesNews:

Wonder if Jordan Leslie gets to finish out the year with the 9 jersey, or if he changes mid-season.
