[I]College football's most famed number is the #44 at Syracuse. It grew to prominence when legendary running backs Jim Brown, Ernie Davis and Floyd Little donned the number at 'Cuse and continued its legacy through other great players including Rob Konrad, Michael Owens and Terry Richardson, among others.

Thanks to the generosity of Konrad and his procurement of numerous artifacts, a new display in the JMA Wireless Dome will continue to showcase that legacy. The West End Zone Concourse outside Club 44 will now feature the Legacy of 44 display. The new fixture pays homage to the tradition and legacy of the players who wore it during their time at Syracuse and their accomplishments afterwards.

The display will have game-worn memorabilia – including helmets from Brown and Konrad, which celebrates the origin of the number's legacy with Brown through Konrad being the last to wear it. It also will showcase game-worn cleats from Davis' Heisman season, authentic uniforms, cards and more. The display will have a timeline of the number, honoring every player to have worn it, plus video and photo displays.

The display will be unveiled at a private ceremony on Friday, Nov. 28 and fans can get their first look on Saturday, Nov. 29, when Syracuse hosts Boston College for the season finale. [/I]
