Ty Detmer, Heisman Trophy Winner, Reflects on Successes and Talks About Jake Retzlaff’s Development

[@jessehayes486]

I've never been more entertained watching football than when i watched Ty at BYU.

[@ysguyslive]

Thanks for your comment, Jesse.

[@ReeseJeppsen]

I agree

Love seeing Ty. My favorite game of all time was the win against number Miami. I was at that game and never once set down. I was suppose to speak in church the next day and couldn't because I lost my voice during that game. Ty is not only a great QB, but one of the finest individuals I have ever met. He came over one day and watch us team rope and even went out to dinner with us as a reward for my son Ray who had just won the state spelling bee. Ray was a huge fan of Ty (attended every home game with me and the 91 Holiday bowl) and it was a thrill for him to have dinner with Ty. BTW, my second youngest son is named Ty. Named after Ty Detmer.

Wow, Monty... Cool. We will pass your comment along to Ty next time we are with him.

Ty Detmer was absolutely the best! The year he got the Heisman was the funnest year. Every game was so great. I still have my newspaper about Ty. He was loved not just for his quarterback abilities, but also his good nature. Thanks Ty for the memories!

[@surewave8202]

On the Heisman weekend, they put a T on top of the Y at BYU. The whole school partied - LDS style.

Thanks for taking time to comment, and thanks for supporting our livestream. We agree with you about Ty.

[@richardbarrow4620]

I remember the Washington State game Ty's freshman year. He blocked a defensive lineman. I will never forget that giant lineman looking down at Ty in astonishment.

[@ysguyslive]

Great story, Richard. We will pass it on. Thanks for commenting.

Ty is a class act.

[@ReeseJeppsen]

Not only a great football player but a good man.

[@ysguyslive]

Thanks for your comment, Reese. We agree, and we hear that from a lot of people.

[@Rippinsteo2926]

I will always have interest in what Ty has to say. A legend and a class act all the way ❤

[@ysguyslive]

We couldn’t agree more. Thanks for your comment.

[@drebyu2]

If Ty’s on, I tune in. Every time. 🤙🏻

[@ysguyslive]

Thanks for supporting our show and for commenting.

[@anaohina659]

we need to find a way to bring back Ty to Provo

[@ysguyslive]

Might be tough. We think he loves AZ.

[@beckyweech]

You could feel the electricity in the air all night after that win against Miami!! One of the best nights of my life!

[@ysguyslive]

Thanks for sharing that, Becky! So cool that you enjoyed the win so much.

[@beckyweech]

@@ysguysliveHey, I have a great story about me, LaVell Edwards and Ty Detmer that very few people know. Ask Ty how a red sticker got blamed for their horrible loss to Hawaii?? Tell him the girl responsible, me, says hi again!! No joke. Ask him!

[@ysguyslive]

@@beckyweech We will tell him, next time we see him.

[@scottbrown2818]

I think the only way you could improve on an interview with my all time favorite BYU quarterback, Ty Detmer (still have his Heisman poster that they gave away at the BYU Bookstore) would be to have him and Chris Smith on together. Pure comedy gold.

[@ysguyslive]

We’ll work on that for next time, Scott. Thanks!

[@kerbmata1764]

Legend!

[@ysguyslive]

Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@henryponnefz1419]

Ty, you are awesome! Thanks for all you do!

[@ysguyslive]

We agree. Thanks for the comment!

[@dansherwood9851]

Fun story…while watching my grandson playing bb last Feb or so in Gilbert, Az I see a guy afterwards that looks so familiar I start talking to him and ask if we were in the same ward at some point or if we had home teaching assignments to each other…he says-“I don’t think so, my name is Ty Detmer”. I jokingly said, oh yeah…I’ve heard of you, you played ping pong or something. We both laughed and went on our way. Nice guy!

[@ysguyslive]

Fun story, Dan. Thanks for sharing it!

[@jacksonmartin2973]

My dad bears a little bit of resemblance to Ty Detmer, enough to where every once in a while people will come up and stare at him then kind of say “Are you Ty Detmer?” Which has always been a source of amusement to my family. But just now scrolling on KZbin I saw the thumbnail and said “Is that my dad on a KZbin video?”

[@ysguyslive]

Thanks for your comment, Jackson. Maybe we should have your dad on the show! Celebrity “look-alikes”. Haha!

[@mleneave]

Missed an opportunity to hear a good story about why he was wearing a sling (from rumors I heard down down here in Arizona)

[@ysguyslive]

Darn! You’re right! We forgot to ask him!
