9 should be retired immediately but they never do things that way. Have to have some committee hem and haw about whether Burrow was worthy enough for a few years. They still don't have a statue of Pete Maravich in front of the building named after him.
I am not in favor of retiring any numbers. To me it is much better to honor the legacy of a special player by giving the number to someone who earned it on the field (e.g. # 18 & # 7).
It's the tale of two 9's. If we get any close to Joe I'm good with it. If we get anything close to the last worthless pos that wore it I say burn the damn thing.
Blasphemy ... Any Tiger that dons a uniform and cracks the pads deserves our respect 9-Grant Delpit 2018 9-Grant Delpit 2017 9-Rickey Jefferson 2016 9-John Diarse 2015, 2014 9-Ego Ferguson 2013, 2012, 2011 9-Jordan Jefferson 2011 ...
