Yea, you never know what kind of buy game we find or some H-H series (UNI) but we should not lose a non conference game at home with this slateI know the home schedule is not fully out yet but who is going to beat us at the RC? Yeah, they'll drop some head scratchers on the road but no excuses for any home games as I dont think there is an opponent with more talent than ours coming to the RC
That is exactly what’s happening here. Why is Bill Kenville in the rafters? Ask BoT chair Mike Hickey (don’t get me started), who married into the Kenville family. It’s a total joke and trivializes the honor for guys like Lanier and Stith (who should be the only players in any sport whose numbers are out of circulation).I played a club sport and have a checkbook when do I get my number retired?

There are ways to do this that don't include putting names/numbers in the rafters with generation-transcending legends like Bob Lanier and Tom Stith. As '85 said, this is the purpose of a HOF. If someone needs more than that, then we have plenty of wall space in the hallways for murals, documenting accolades, etc. Make the halls a walkable museum if you want, but leave the fucking rafters alone already. For fuck's sake, I can barely see the video board anymore. It's seriously ridiculous. 1st Round NIT banners? Shared "you were a good player" and donation-driven banners? Fuck right off.How much money is the Kenville family paying to be honored?
To be fair, Manhertz said he would stick advertising anywhere and everywhere if it meant some money would be flowing into the athletic department.
Didn't think they'd be retiring numbers based on donations though..
