Honored numbers in TS

Care to explain why the others shouldn't be considered? Not saying you're wrong, just want to hear your thoughts.

No Kevin Faulk number, no care

I could see him added as well, but I believe the others have a more compelling case.

Well Glenn Dorsey was good, but not "retired number" good. And PP7 left after his junior season so that's an automatic disqualification. I don't know much about the other players though.

More compelling than:

I'm not going to dispute any of the stats and/or reasons you gave for Faulk. Almost all of the others I mentioned were multiple time All-Americans.

Again, my biggest point is that a program with a tradition as rich as LSU's should have more than two players honored in the stadium.
