So I have gotten word that a special person will be honored at the game against OSU. While Eddie Vedder will not be in attendance, you will all be happy to know that Acie will be having his jersey raised into the rafters at Reed. Let's fill the place up and make it an evening to remember for everyone in attendance.

Ok, from the first post of the thread, it says nothing about Acie being there in attendance. There is also no source for the rumor.

Not that I'm being pessimistic, but this would be a really bad joke (for both Acie and the fans) if it turns out to be false.

Why would there not be an official announcement about this from the athletic department? If this is true, I'd be willing to drive down for the game... but I want to make sure before I make the drive.

Heisman Trophy: Number still active
Lombardi Trophy: Number still active
Point Guard: Number retired?

The game is sold out.

So because the game is sold out, there is not going to be an announcement? That makes perfect sense!

I have no reason to believe or disbelieve this but it IS possible to raise a jersey to the rafters WITHOUT retiring the NUMBER.

I would have thought it would have been mentioned at the 6th Man Club luncheon today if it were true.

Name one time in any sport, college or pro, that this has happened.

Boston Celtics - Loscutoff's #18 jersey was retired, but kept active for Dave Cowens.

See above link.

I'm pretty sure most big time college programs retire jersey's but do not retire numbers. I know this is true of Kansas, and by sheer number I'd assume it's also true at North Carolina.

I was trying to find proof of college programs doing this because they would run out of numbers for their current players to wear if they never re-used a number that is hanging in the rafters. Thanks for the confirmation that Kansas does this, bob!

it'd be pretty hard to have all of these numbers retired...



and from KUsports.com

quote:
Q: What are the qualifications for a KU basketball player to have his or her basketball jersey hung on the south end of Allen Fieldhouse?
A: Kansas doesn't retire numbers. Instead, to honor its greatest players, KU began retiring jerseys in 1992. Prior to the 2002-03 season, nine jerseys had been retired:

Charlie Black, 1922-24
Charlie Black, 1942-43
B.H. Born, 1952-54
Wilt Chamberlain, 1957-58
Paul Endacott, 1921-23
Ray Evans, 1942-43-1946-47
Clyde Lovellette, 1950-52
Danny Manning, 1985-88
Lynette Woodard, 1977-1981

Before the 2002-03 season, the restrictions for jersey retirement were loosened, resulting in nine new men's basketball honorees and two women's basketball players having their jerseys hung in the fieldhouse rafters:

Tus Ackerman, 1923-25
Angela Aycock, 1992-95
Tamecka Dixon, 1994-97
Howard Engleman, 1939-41 Video highlights
Drew Gooden*, 2000-02 Video highlights
Gale Gordon, 1925-27
Raef LaFrentz, 1995-98 Video highlights
Al Peterson, 1925-27
Paul Pierce, 1996-98 Video highlights
Fred Pralle, 1936-38
Jacque Vaughn, 1994-97 Video highlights
Jo Jo White, 1966-69

* = Gooden's jersey would have been retired under the previous guidelines.

I tend to believe this one. The Eddie Vedder reference is a nice touch btw.

Kentucky is another program that retires jerseys and not numbers.

I am not a Cowboys fan, but I am pretty sure the people in the Ring Of Honor don't have their numbers retired either? That is very similar.

I call shenanigans until I see something official. I'd drive down for sure if I knew this was happening.

Some of you people better take some good videos.

It's legit. This weekend is the All-star break for the NBA and the Hawks don't play a game from this Wednesday until next Tuesday so I am more than willing to bet he will be here. It will be great and you won't want to miss it.

If it's true, why wouldn't the athletic department announce this? That doesn't make sense to me.
