**** that organization but congrats to a legend. ST26, moss, and fletcher are the only things that organization can be proud of in the past 20 years. It’s insane how much of an embarrassment that franchise is.

We should retire the 26 for good at the U

I can understand #26 because of his untimely passing in the prime of his playing career..

but if we started retiring all the #s of the Canes greats of similar caliber while at Miami, there would be too many #s to retire..

I also would hate that Gurvan Hall was the last person to wear the #...

Best argument I have heard for not retiring a number in a long while. You've convinced me.

Still my all time favorite player. Was lucky enough to get to see him play in person against the Pitt Panthers at Heinz. Teared up when I heard the news of his passing

What took so long?

Sidenote: #26 needs to be a special number here. If your going to wear it, accept the responsibility that comes with that number at UM.

Agree. Make it like the 7 at LSU or the 44 at cuse. No scrubs

Way to go, “Football Team!”

The timing on this is more than suspect. You don't announce this only 4 days prior even if you try to claim Sean's family knew earlier. Leave it to Danny Snyder to taint something that should've happened a long time ago.

Or at the very least reserve it for 3rd and 4th year players who have proven themselves worthy of wearing #26 (and a few other numbers like #52, #6, #5, #20, #11, #47, #88, and #12, just to name a few).

Honestly, I agree but if we started doing that, where does it end? We have a very rich history. I'd love to see us do away with the double single numbers and flat out let players choose their number based on performance. If you want a single digit, ball for it!

Technically since he only played for the Skins, and not the WFT, shouldn’t that jersey be the one that is retired? No one would have a problem with that, surely.
