Despite all of his demons including Tourette's and a sad misunderstanding of Islamic values; Chris Jackson/Mahmoud Abdul Rauf far and away deserves to have his jersey retired.

Dont you have to have graduated from LSU to have your number retired? That alone will dismiss most of the basketball players......

Well Pete never graduated, but they may have given him a reprieve with that whole greatest college scorer of all time thing.

I'd argue any SEC P.O.Y. at least deserves considerable mention.

Not hanging CJ's jersey is like not honoring Billy Cannon because of what he did after he was at LSU

Agree 100%, CJ's jersey should be in the rafters with the rest of them.

Chris Jackson yes. His religion shouldn't matter and disagreeing with American foreign policy should not matter.

It's too bad we couldn't consider Randy Livingston and Ronnie Henderson. They could have been so awesome at LSU but things didn't quite work out.

I'm just saying...Jackson will NEVER get his jersey retired in the PMAC. I loved CJ, but just saying.
