I didn't realize this thread was about him and was about the man being selected for the HOF? To be that kind of fact checker is kind of ridiculous. It's also why so many threads get derailed with needless BS.
Maybe before you expose yourself as a complete douche you might want to re-read everything.
You should take your own advice and you wouldn’t have been so wrong in this thread.
I do get it - it's called sarcasm but I understand that it probably went over your head. The GIF - the gift that never stops giving to those unable to articulate.
I'm not sure you know what sarcasm is. Oh, and stop bogging down this thread with ad hominem attacks and nonsensical drivel. It's posters like you that are the reason so many threads get derailed with needless horse excrement.
I'm not going to get in the middle of this spat, but I will say I like your Ren & Stimpy gif. What are those? Gritty Kitty Litter sandwiches?
Sarcasm and innuendo are difficult for you. And you can go ahead and get your last word in. I feel childish just sparring with you.
probably give him above average marks
But I just don't get all the push to retire a number of a player that never made 1st team all-conference?
In my mind, just a really good ball player that scored a lot of points on some really good Iowa teams. No BigTen championships, no Final Four (should have finished UNLV off and then who knows what happens?)
I think this honor is worthy of his accomplishments, i just can't get behind the retired number folks.
Disagree. It doesn't matter if Roy was ever first time all-conference. Look at some of the competition in the late 80's. Big 10 was more than a little stacked. Besides, it only matters what Roy accomplished in relation to other IOWA players. You start comparing to other Big Ten players, it changes the whole discussion, but this is an Iowa criteria.
For that matter, if it's a requirement that an Iowa player must have been on a team that won a Big Ten title, or made a Final Four, there would be very, very few Iowa players with their numbers retired. Besides, that's a team accomplishment, more so than an individual one. I suppose Ernie Banks shouldn't be in the HOF or have his #14 retired because his Cubs teams never made the playoffs, much less won a World Series?
School's (now) 2nd all-time leading scorer? Retire the jersey.

Retire as many jerseys as you want. Not sure you should ever retire a number. There's only so many available.
