#TBT EDITORIAL: LEGENDS NUMBERS, KINDA COOL THING?
The Gophers have five retired numbers, what would happen if they un-retired them?
On the left, Minnesota's Bruce Smith (retired number 54) vs Michigan's Tom Harmon (re-retired number 98). Bruce won.Last week Michigan announced that it would 're-retire' it's football numbers. Semantics aside (re-retire something?) it makes sense, retired numbers are common place throughout sports. With a new AD and coach in Ann Arbor makes it even more logical to ditch this idea to let some players wear retired numbers. If you still have no idea what I'm talking about here is a photo of QB Devin Gardner who wore Tom Harmon's 98 jersey.
