Message: [QUOTE="bnoro, post: 1078837, member: 71"] When you give a true freshman 44, the other running backs that worked their asses off the last 2-3-4 years might not be pleased with it either. Not to mention the fact that unless it's a top 5 national recruit it's not going to get the casual fans interested and that's who they need to sell tickets to, not you and me on this board. And if the kid doesn't live up to expectations in his first year? Enormous scrutiny from fans that might ruin him as a player. The only way I un-retire 44 is if we're giving it to an accomplished upperclassman running back that deserves to wear it. (and I still wouldn't un-retire it) [/QUOTE]
