OT: Illinois to Retire Terrence Shannon’s #0 Jersey

[Rocktheworld]

It's wild you would still even want to touch this topic and that you seem to be doubling down.

You brought this up, dummy; and I’m not sure where I’m doubling down on anything. All I ever thought was dumb about the number retirement was the fact that he got blasted in the elite eight. Regardless of accolades, I personally find that retiring his jersey, as a UConn fan, to be on the embarrassing side. That’s why I’m making jokes about him being Mark Brunell.

But you’re just mad at me and rushed to judgment.

Literally who cares. Not our team, has nothing to do with us. Should just be happy for the kid and move on.

Yeah, but the OP’s joke to start the thread was hilarious. That guy sure is witty. And humble!

To be clear, Shannon's number is not being retired, it's just being honored. This is like the Huskies of Honor for UConn
