akronzips71 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Posted January 18, 2021 That is Len Pauls retired number, in fact isn't it hanging in the rafters at the JAR? Is there a back story to this? Quote

Captain Kangaroo Posted January 18, 2021 Report Posted January 18, 2021 Jim Fenton's #44 is in the JAR rafters. 1 Quote
zippy5 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Zeke's #44 should be up there too. Edit - maybe? Edited January 18, 2021 by zippy5 Quote

zippy5 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Posted January 18, 2021 they're just "honored" numbers at UA. It's dumb, I know Quote

ZipsBurgh Posted January 18, 2021 Report Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) There are only 36 numbers that players in college can wear. So actually retiring the numbers instead of just honoring them could end up causing problems for some programs. Edited January 18, 2021 by ZipsBurgh Quote

Yep, the refs association doesn't want anything higher than a 5 on any jersey, but the NBA has allowed it (Mikan, Rodman...). https://www.sportscasting.com/college-basketball-players-cant-wear-nos-6-9-and-its-a-problem/ Quote

That is true, but I don't think we're going to have 15+ numbers retired anytime soon Quote
