Hang the number, but still allow it to be used. The numbers we've got retired are the only ones we should have retired (and really, I'm not sure Theron Sapp's should have been). Jersey retirement at UGA has to be a monumental achievement. But, Pollack's 47 and Greene's 14 should be honored in some wayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-37980271974836021782009-03-01T12:25:00.000-05:002009-03-01T12:25:00.000-05:00At the time there was great debate on Walker's 34 ...At the time there was great debate on Walker's 34 because he left school early. Obviously, no one should ever be allowed to wear 34 for the Dawgs (in any sport) but I do think graduating, or completing your eligibility, should be a requirement for this type of honor. <BR/><BR/>As long as Pollack does not end in a police blotter, he gets my vote for ring of honor and any other type of honor we MikeInValdostahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442436555322142725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-4788075227732088932009-02-28T15:40:00.000-05:002009-02-28T15:40:00.000-05:00Love that thought, Anon.

I always liked that Syracuse did that with '44' and thought that became such a great honor both to guys like Jim Brown and Ernie Davis, but also the current player selected to wear it. Sadly, in another bit of ridiculous pandering, Syracuse officially retired the number a few years back.

Bailey), not sure if any of them qualify for jersey retirement. It would have to be someone who was a good player who won the Heisman and/or lead us to the Nat. Championship.<BR/><BR/>What I would LOVE to see, however, is Pollack's #47 be rotated to a current player who epitimizes Pollack's work ethic, drive, character, and tenacity.

I mean, I wouldn't suggest retiring either jersey.<BR/><BR/>My guess is that if you polled 100 UGA fans and said only one more jersey would be retired, the overwhelming vote would be for Pollack.David Halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02872368286061273646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-65836966873512570982009-02-28T14:37:00.000-05:002009-02-28T14:37:00.000-05:00DH - first off, love the blog.

If a player leaves early for the NFL, they have to have at least won something (team title or Heisman or some other big honor or notable achievement).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-30180653513437486912009-02-28T11:55:00.000-05:002009-02-28T11:55:00.000-05:00No chance of Stafford's jersey being retired.

He ranks behind David Greene, DJ Shockley, Fran Tarkenton and Johnny Rauch, AT LEAST, on the list of UGA QB's, and there could certainly be arguments made for Ray Goff and Eric Zeier, among others to be ahead of Stafford as well. <BR/><BR/>Staff had a decent career, but NFL potential has absolutely nothing to do Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
