While I agree that Frye should have his jersey retired, now is not the time to do it. He needs to wait his turn.

Some of you may not realize this, but Akron had a football team long before Frye came to Akron. In fact, possibly the greatest player of all time at U of A does not have his jersey retired. His name is Mike Clark and he was a running back in the mid 80s and holds many of the schools rushing records. Clark was a fantastic running back who could have played at the next level if he wasn't so little. I think he had a chance with the Browns but it didn't pan out.

So I say before we retire #5, there needs be a #24 retired first.

I was the MVP of the 1997 Senior Bowl and waited until 2004 to get my jersey honored.

I think Frye can wait more than 3 months.

Dwight Smith is still waiting...as is Victor Green.

Will The University ever reach out to Victor Green? Is it too late? The guy played in the NFL for 12 years and gets NO love...especially when compared to Schfino, Taylor and Smith.

Not quite:

http://www.seniorbowl.com/2005/gamescores.htm

But here is the text from the game history (also from that site). Taylor is listed as a Top Player:

1997

NORTH 35, SOUTH 14

MVP: Pat Barnes, California

NORTH COACH: Norv Turner, Redskins

SOUTH COACH: Marty Schottenheimer, Chiefs

TOP PLAYERS: Jake Plummer, Jason Taylor, Sam Madison, Derrick Mason

California quarterback Pat Barnes stunned the South with three second quarter touchdown passes to win overall MVP honors and lead the North to a convincing 35-14 victory in the 1997 Senior Bowl played before another sellout crowd of 40,646. The South opened the scoring on a two-yard TD run by Tennessee's Jay Graham, but then Barnes hit on three TD passes to three different receivers for a 21-7 halftime lead. San Diego State's George Jones then added two second half TD's for the North, including a brilliant 52-yard scamper in the third quarter to finish off the South. South QB Jake Plummer of Arizona State closed out the scoring when he hit LSU's David LaFleur on a two-yard pass to make the final 35-14.
