Is his jersey retired. If not, why? He is the most decorated player in LSU history. Sorry if Germans.

Geeze people I won't ask anymore questions. What prompted this question was that I noticed that Tommy Casanova and Billy Cannon's names were painted on Tiger Stadium while I was at the game. I thought on why his name was not up there. It would be nice to see more a more recent player up there.

Casanova's name was just put up like two games ago. It takes time to earn that.

ONLY player to ever win Nagurski, Outland, Lott, and Lombardi awards. Won the equivelant of the Defensive Heisman Trophy. Two time All-American. Won a National Championship.

If teams are going to retire football jersey's, then you can't state a better case.

I'm sure it will come one day, but it's only been 2 years. His NFL career will have NO bearing on this decision.

BTW.....It's Glen.

The number 20 is the only number lsu has retired and it didnt take 50 years, i dont think anyone has worn it in a while. 72 should be strongly considered though.

Casonovas isnt retired at least not until Hatcher leaves.

What about Marcus Spears and Chad Lavalais (in recent memory)? Williams and Wroten weren't bad either. Maybe the other guys deserve some credit.

Thanks to those who actually answered my question.

To those who told me to GTFO, go play in traffic. At least I didn't post any same ole broken record comments about how LSU sucks, or how our coach sucks.

Why not? What did Dorsey achieve here that the other 2 didn't? Lavalais was the most disruptive d lineman I've ever seen at LSU.

there should be a statue of dorsasaurus that the players touch when they come out the tunnel. IF YOU CANT GIVE 100%, KEEP YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF MY DORSEY
