Players you’d like to see recognized with a banner at The Barn

[UpAndUnder43]

We have gone my entire lifetime (40 years) I think, without “retiring” a number. The number can still be used but I’d like to see some banners. We don’t need to wait until they are dead to recognize them.

I don’t know who is worthy. What do you all think?

Thought this as well. His stats were absurd.

The Final Four team was where I fell in love. Pepsi ran a promo where you peeled the final four participants off a 24 pk to win prizes if they were right. I won a hat that I one day forgot at a basketball tournament at Sibley East High school. All those guys deserve official recognition.

Amir Coffey...

Minnesota kid. All freshman team. All B1G his last season (3rd team I think). Really solid pro career.

 

[SelectionSunday]

3 guys from the Final 4 team.

Bobby Jackson, the stone cold clutch assassin.

Slammin’ Sam, I am.

If we're talking relative to past Gopher success ok, but those are such minor accomplishments as far as all time greatness.

So how many banners are we putting up? Guess I should've asked before I answered

Lou Hudson without a doubt

All three (3) are deserving IMO but let's not forget John Thomas' contributions to the Gopher program from that same team. He owned the middle without ever getting 6" above the court.

I can't recall during my lifetime a Gopher player that improved more during his career as a Gopher than Thomas. When he was a freshman, I thought it was entirely possible he might never make a FT during his entire Gopher career.

Throw in Eric Harris, Courtney James, Lefty Thomas and Miles "Porn Stache" Tarver and that whole team deserves a spot in the rafters. Nothing will ever remove those terrific memories from my melon.

The Sam Jacobson dunk against Clemson still gives me chills...or I have the flu.

 

[BleedGopher]

97 BT and FF banners.

Bobby. Sam. Murphy.

But especially Bobby.

Go Gophers!!
