WWII retired numbers

[orange+white=heaven]

Today, 32 days to Cal, reminds us that the #32 is retired in honor of Bill Nowling, who died in the second World War.

I'm wondering, and I'm sure one of you folks who never forgets anything you read will know.... Do other schools have similarly retired numbers?...

guess nobody knows.

Today is 31 days...who are the famous #31's? Riggs? Curt Watson? Anybody else?

This post got me thinking so I went searching. I couldn't find any college numbers retired for that reason but did stumble across this article from the Virginia Pilot.

Virginia Tech considers retiring No. 32 to honor victims

Weird with the whole "32" theme going on in this thread.

I'm shocked. I was convinced that one person or another on here knew the answer to any question on earth...

Jim Dunkin, linebacker #31 in 1984. This was a year that UT had a plethora of great college LB's.....Dale Jones, Carl Zander, Kelly Zeigler, Alvin Toles, and Dunkin. BTW, they played the 3-4 defense that year.:thumbsup:

I'm not sure if was Marmie or Lacewell. I do know Ken Donohue came the next year (1985) and won the SEC and the Sugar Bowl. He played a 4-3 defense with Dale Jones switching to DE.

(Found the answer in an old Lindy's.......Larry Marmie.) Bonus question: Was it his first stent as DC or second?
