re: Retiring numbers is counter productive

I like the "retired jerseys" rather than retired numbers. UT has retired the jerseys of Peyton Manning, Johnny Majors, Doug Atkins, and Reggie White for their performance on the field and Bill Nowling, Rudy Klarer, Willis Tucker and Clyde Fuson (four UT players who died fighting in WWII).

As of last week, Peyton Manning is the only living person to have a retired jersey at UT.
