Message: [QUOTE="General20, post: 3417687, member: 724"] I love Stevie Thompson, but I checked this thread just to see if anybody mentioned Rudy Hackett. I'm willing to die on the Rudy Hackett hill! What is taking so long to retire his jersey? The guy put up better numbers than Carmelo Anthony while leading a much less talented team to the final 4. He probably should have been the second guy to get his number retired behind Bing. Whenever I meet anybody in power in the athletic department I ask why Rudy's number has not been retired and I've never gotten a satisfactory answer. Was he a serial killer or something? Why are they not honoring a guy that put up 22 and 13 while leading an undersized SU team to the final 4? I wasn't alive to see Rudy Hackett play, but at this point when they do retire his jersey I'll go to the game and celebrate like he was my own father. [/QUOTE]
