Retired Numbers

[GreatDanes06]

Was thinking about this. Are their certain numbers for some of our programs that should be retired. I know Jamar is the only one we officially have, however I feel with the success of many of our programs, certain numbers for programs should be retired and banners should be put up. I know the school has a Hall of Fame, however I feel certain players recently certainly deserve it. My thoughts:

 

Football:

265 or 256 (take your pick) - Total career wins for Bob Ford, be it total as a coach or total at UAlbany.

 

Lacrosse:

2, 4, 9 - Miles and Lyle Thompson, do we really need to say why. 9 for Merrick Thomson, who I think was the key player for UAlbany's 2000's run.

 

Women's Basketball:

5 or 25 - Richards when she leaves next year and Henry, as she was so vital to the change in culture for the program.

 

Thoughts and or opinions? Missing people

Ebony Henry and Julie Foster had their numbers retired last year.

 

It would be interesting to see something done for track and field, also.

I'd prefer not to retire numbers.

Banners are hanging. I will take a picture at the next game I attend and post it here.

#25 will certainly be retired for Shereesha. I think Hooley and or Rowley could get either a number retired or some form of recognition as well.
