Retirement Ceremony

SU decided to retire its famed #44 this weekend. First of all, I don't understand this decision. They basically gave up all future use of the number as a recruiting tool and a tradition in order to have a nice ceremony. Secondly, they made no mention of the great basketball players to have worn the number. DC and J-Dubbs must be furious. Several of the most famous #44 wearers were on hand including Jim Brown, Floyd Little, Rob Konrad and Michael Owens (brother of Billy). Unfortunately, Ernie Davis could not attend.
