I think this would be a great honor for Detmer. Even though he didn't do as well as some people would have liked him to in the NFL, he deserves it very much. Hopefully the rumor comes true :)
He was too small to make it in the NFL, but man... he was sure one great BYU QB!!! If his jersey is retired... my hat is off to BYU.
Way to go, Wolfie! I would give you a positive karma for that, but my 6 hours haven't passed since I gave you a negative karma. Sorry.

RED LETTER DAY, folks! The Wolf Howled in approval of a BYU player. Granted, it was one from years gone by, but these are baby steps we are taking here.;)
Jimmyz2, shame on you. Don't you mean BLUE LETTER DAY ? C'mon now.

He actually had his moments with Philly. If he had been named the starter instead of having to play qb tag with rodney pete I think he would have had a much better NFL career (although donivan mcknab did call him the smartest NFL quarterback that he had met).

I've spoken with both of them in person in non-game settings. Detmer is as quality as they come. Neilsen is all that as well. But if you honor Neilsen (which I'd support) then you've got to honor Wilson too. Kinda hard to hit all four of those and leave out Jim (who was great, but shouldn't be honored by a school he publically lambasted). So I could see them drawing the line at Detmer.
I bet they'll eventually honor Wilson. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me to see them honor both Marc Wilson and Robbie Bosco at the same time. Didn't they both wear #6? I could see them doing this next year or the year after.
McMahon won't ever be honored by BYU. Not because he "lambasted" the school, but because he never graduated from BYU. He never got his degree.

That would be fantastic. I caught Ty's last season when I was a frosh at BYU. And cszjr... I believe the album in your avatar came out that same year. It was the last Rush album I ever bought.
