Greatest #23 Ever!

So I am skimming around ESPN, and I see an article about how the University of TExas is going to retire the numbers of a few guys that were OK in their sports (Kevin Durant, Vince Young).  This is all fine and well, but if they are going to retire numbers then I think it is obvious that they should retire the number of the greatest athlete in Longhorn History, the one and only Brooks Kieschnick.  Well I open the article, and thankfully he is also getting his due.  So when you go out this weekend make sure have an extra beer for everyone's favorite former Milwaukee Brewer. I mean who can forget all the joy he brought the fans, like doing this, this and this in the same year.

BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"

this guy was pretty good, too

(though who knows, if Kieschnick had played hoops…)

Also, cheese.

Texas is retiring 9 numbers, including Brooks Kieschnick

Before this announcement, they had only retired 4 numbers in any sport.

Are they actually going to retire the numbers?

Or will they pull a Marquette by issuing the number to some kid years down the line and say it was just the jersey (not the number) that was retired?
