Message: [QUOTE="wfschrec, post: 720805, member: 361"] Thats great and all ... but its not 1958 anymore and quite frankly the number needs to be built back up before you can unretire it in full ... for crying out loud you have kids we are recruiting that didn't know McNabb played here ... you can't live in the past because the number lost momentum 20 years ago. You need to start building its relevance slowly but surely and you do that with kids already invested in the program in small doses. In spite of what you may think unretiring that number now will not bring in a top RB recruit kids are too far removed from what it truly means, to think otherwise is foolish. The reason that programs have these traditions and they still live and breath is because they are followed year in and year out ... all that momentum was lost the moment Konrad took it off ... you need to build it back up ... and pulling it right off the rafters isn't going to do that.
