Should MU Retire Otule's Number?

[Lennys Tap]

I don't mean now but years down the road do you think his 6 years, overcoming obstacles, injuries, one eye, inspirational story, does this would warrant a jersey retirement?

After his second term as President of the United States I would be okay with hanging his jersey in the rafters. A duplicate should be hung in his presidential library. But short of that, no.

Was this topic written by Huffington Post to get click thrus or something? Seriously?

(and yes, I clicked and am commenting so...good work?)

No. No. And no. Numbers aren't retired due to effort and will and working hard and doing your best. That's for daycare and first grade.

Should an end-of-the-year "award" be named after him? That I'd see no problem with. Those are based on what the coach/team sees day-to-day through the player's season/career.

The Chris Otule Longevity Award or the Chris Otule Spirit Award.

One for tenure; the other for keeping the team spirit high through entertainment.
