This image of course modified to add SOS' image. That was really a #16 jersey in a frame Peyton was holding.
Perfect timing.

Thanks. I recall that because they no longer retire numbers at UT. The four numbers which have been retired were UT players killed in World War Two. Football obviously can't match that.

Didn't they retire Reggie White's number?

I don't believe so. But they did say Saturday that #9 Derek Barnett was on a pace to break his record of sacks.

I am not saying that VT can't beat the Vols on Saturday. Of course that can happen.
But I have to wonder at the creation of a thread like this. The only purposes can be meanness and childlike mischief. Right?
UT does have a lot of horses, a 3 year starting QB, a mature coaching staff, all the parts for a good year, which they may or may not yet have.
VT was 7-6 last year, 7-6 the year before and 8-5 the year before that.
And they have a first year coach.
I would suggest that the person who started this thread would not wager money on VT's chances to win.
This thread was just started for meanness.

Looks like I misremembered or they changed the policy because #16 and # 92 are both showing retired.

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.

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.
