is being retired the same day as Detmer's. I have mixed emotions on it. So much so that I am now thinking of the retirement of Jersey's at BYU as just a chance to say thanks to very good players. Thanks, for playing and thanks for not embarassing the University later.

Giff was and is great as a person and what he has done after playing for BYU.
However, his going in with Detmer and ahead of some others shows the retirement of Jersey's isn't about how good of a player you were.
