Message: [QUOTE="Dick_in_MI, post: 4005726, member: 225"] The other problem we have is that when talking about 44, only Brown, Davis, and Little are ever mentioned. Michael Owens was more than Bill's brother...ask any fan who was at the SU-WVU game in 1987 which 44 scored the 2-pointer that preserved the undefeated season. Rob Konrad may not have been a great 44 tailback but he was one of the greatest SU fullbacks and he wore #44. The other problem about #44 is that some great players get lost in the shuffle; neither the great Joe Morris nor the too-often overlooked Walter Reyes wore 44. They are the top two rushers in SU history but they never get mentioned during TV games. No reason why either should not be mentioned in the same breath as the guys who have statues at Plaza 44. We should not make the same mistake with Sean Tucker. If we are going to have a tradition, it should be a living tradition and the guys who really deserve to wear the number get a chance to do so.
