Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 4904685, member: 626"] I have a theory about that. Joe was of my era, was in a few classes together, etc. For all the old heads, if you remember he started out sharing the backfield w/ none other than future HOF WR Art Monk. Eventually, they moved Art and since Joe was blowing up, offered him "44" to keep up the great tradition. However, Joe said no, that he'd rather be the first Joe Morris, and not the next...anyone else. I believe that if he'd accepted the number, he'd be much more renowned today as part of the string of great RB's at SU. Kinda sad that he doesn't immediately come to mind when the great ones are mentioned. JMHO [/QUOTE]
