Basically what you're saying is OP is a douche bag who has had his shite pushed in by the Big Orange for his entire life and is lashing out on the Internet in hopes of another team beating us because his can't.
Why yes, I would agree with that Walt.

More on UT retired numbers:

I got to meet UT All American (1937) Austin Shofner. He came to our Marine Corps Ball in 1989.
"Brigadier General Austin Conner Shofner was a United States Marine Corps officer who was captured during the Battle of Corregidor and then part of the only successful escape from a Japanese prisoner of war camp.[1] He joined the Philippine resistance, and later returned to command units of the Marine Corps in the battles of Peleliu and Okinawa." - wiki
He was quite a character.

quote:
Tucker and the other three UT football players who died were all top athletes and even reached stardom under iconic UT football coach Gen. Robert “Bob” Neyland. Tucker, a graduate of Knoxville High School, wore jersey No. 61; Fuson, a native of Middlesboro, Ky., wore No. 62; Klarer, of Louisville, Ky., wore No. 49; and Nowling, from St. Petersburg, Fla., wore No. 32. During the war, after the four UT players died in action, the university retired the four jersey numbers. In later years, the numbers returned to the jersey rotation. In the 1980s, the UT Athletic Department permanently retired them. Tucker was one of the finest track stars of that era and became a lineman with UT in 1940.

There is just so much idiotic meanness and childish display here it is debatable if this Board is even worth fooling with.
