re: Should Chris Jackson's Jersey be hung in the PMAC?

Unless the one and done changes, Jackson is pretty much the last LSU basketball player with a chance to have his number retired. We will never retire a jersey of a one year player.
He meets my criteria of 2 time all american and 2 time conference player of the year. The best season of all other LSU basketball players without their jersey already retired doesn't even come close to the 2 seasons he had.
While I loved Ricky Blanton, he is not close and was never the best player on the team and only one year was even the second best player.

Yes, and it has nothing to do with his religious beliefs or anything else that has caused controversy with him. People that are judging him based on that are hypocritical douchebags.

Nope

He didn’t stand for the anthem because the American flag represents “oppression and racism” while peaceful his logic doesn’t make sense.
Anyone who has ever had a problem with any way Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf has expressed his opinions on anything whatsoever is a little bitch.

Think why a persons jersey is hung for all to see... not only because they are great players, but someone to pattern your life around, such as LSU graduate, community service and a model citizen.
Billy Cannon wasn't exactly a Saint while and after LSU.

I believe that graduation requirement is for the LSU Sports Hall of Fame. Pete's jersey is up there and he didn't graduate. At any rate, that graduation requirement needs to be eliminated. In this day and age, no elite athlete in any major sport is going to stay around long enough to graduate. An LSU hall of fame without Pete Maravich in it has no credibility as far as I am concerned.

Chris Jackson? No Ricky Blanton? If that’s the threshold we’ll have 300 retired jersies.
I don't know of all the players who people think are so good in basketball Ricky Blanton is the only one who made it to the final 4 TWICE!

I am in support of "career" high achievers being recognized. One and done types and two year types don't make the cut. Chris Jackson did not stay here long enough, no matter how good he was. Same thing for Simmons. Showing respect for this nation and it's flag are also important factors to me as a Vietnam era veteran. Chris is welcome to his own opinion on this issue and he is also welcome to how his stance affects whether or not voters support hanging his jersey from the rafters or not. Hanging up a jersey and retiring a number is done for a reason and it's not to diminish anything. This is where he has hurt himself pertaining to the support he would need to be honored by LSU. He chose his path and that path is hating this nation and what it stands for while supporting a religion that turns all women into property and sponsors terrorism all over the world. Sorry, this is not what you want to honor in any way shape or form.

Again, no Blanton on that list either.
I liked Ricky, and he was a beast in the softball games on the Parade Grounds. But hanging a jersey in the PMAC should be pretty exclusive.

And for those who think he was the second best basketball player out of LSU, do you put him in front of Petit or Shaq,
because Jackson was good.....very good, but he damn well didn't beat Pete.
As for CJ being better than Shaq... at LSU? Absolutely. 1st team All American and SEC Player of the Year both seasons he played. He was obscenely good as a college player.

This was a fricking retardard comment made by you. I think a lot of people don’t take kindly to people disrespecting this country, the flag, and what we stand for.
Posted on 2/21/19 at 9:47 pm to JETigER
Jackson or Abdul Rauf YES
Blanton NO
Why even consider Blanton? Because his hard nosed hustle? If that's the case we will need to shut down the basketball program because we will retire all jersey numbers
Blanton NO
