[edit] Ron Dayne Status

I was actually at Camp Randall the day Ron Dayne broke the rushing record and they unveiled his name and number on the upper deck. I'm almost positive that they retired the number that day. Why would they honor him in that matter otherwise. I've got some people checking into it, but a change may be in order.

No change is in order. Dayne's number isn't retired. See the Official UW Football 2006 Yearbook (page 124) for a listing of numbers that were retired prior to the retirement of Richter's number this season. Dayne's #33 isn't on the list. -JakeApple 14:55, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

How is Ron Dayne's number not retired? His "33" is up there in Camp Randall along with everyone else on this list. Unless someone can explain why that doesn't amount to a retired number, I'm going to change it. --DanyaRomulus 19:10, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know how else to explain how it "doesn't amount to a retired number" other than to point out that the UW hasn't retired it (check the link I provided above). Thus, changing it would be a factual error. -JakeApple 04:43, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
