Take all the offense you want.  The fact remains there are players that were instrumental to our program that should be honored before GMac.  Without those players maybe GMac never plays here.  It's not even about whether GMac meant more or less to the program.  It's about the fact that honoring the guys that came before him is long overdo.  Is it GMac's fault that the school is behind in honoring those guys?  No.  Is it a travesty that a guy still in his 20's waits a little longer so that players that paved the way for him and are now in their 40's and 50's get their turn first?  Absolutely not.  It's the way it should be.  Just because Melo was honored when he was doesn't automatically mean it's GMac's turn right now.  People have made sound arguments that hanging Melo's jersey should've happened later.

Just so you know, I'm not even an old fart.  I'm only slightly older than you.  I'm too young to have even seen Roosevelt Bouie and Louis Orr play.  I started watching just after the Pearl left.  However, from stories told by the "old farts" I have an understanding of what they meant to the program and that they should be honored.
