Really hoping that #44 rolls out tonight. I am on record as having wished they had done it last week as opposed to the night when they are honoring Floyd, but tonight is the last, best chance to do it this year.

In the links from yesterday, ottodaorange mentioned that Jim Brown had been against unretiring #44 in the past. I hope he has reconsidered. For far too many fans, #44 only applies to Jim, Ernie, and Floyd but Michael Owens, Terry Richardson, Rob Konrad, etc did pretty darn well repping the number.

Once Jim leaves us and once those of us who saw the great #44’s leave, then it will no longer mean as much. It will be like the heirloom that has been in a box in the basement for 30 years. You know it is meaningful, you have a vague recollection of the story behind it, but most of the time you forget that it is even there. Over time, future generations of fans won't even know that much.

If #44 is to remain meaningful to SU fans going forward, then it must live on. Take it out of the box in the basement and put it on Sean Tucker tonight.
