Going high in the second round, about as close as you can get to being a 1st round pick, the Bears take the University of Louisiana's Charles Tillman with the #35 overall pick.

Bears fans may not know it yet but they have a good one.

Congratulations to Peanut, all the hard work is paying off.

I agree, great day for Charles and his family. Congratulations.

Don't you think it's kind of silly that we have so many darn names up there considering how little we've accomplished on the field? Tillman was a great player, but I don't think he meant nearly as much to the program as did Delhomme, Mitchell, Thomas and Stokley.

I get what you're saying about Peanut, but I hope you're not saying having Delhomme, Mitchell, Thomas and Stokley constitutes having too many names up there???

No, they were all great players and deserve the honor.

While I loved Damon Mason, I don't think he should be up there.

I do think we have too many up there considering our best years of football have been mediocre. Therefore, we should be extremely selective when bestowing the honor.

What about Red Cagle

I agree Chris, I wonder if we had lost to aTm, would his name be up there? Good player for us, yes. Deserves to be up there with Mitchell, Delhomme & Stokley, no.

I agree with CDeb and Co., but if I had my way Alvin Dark would be up there.

Help me out. Did they have numbers back then?

I agree with Turner and the point CDeb raises through his question. Keener Cagle deserves to be up there but we may never know his number. (I am still looking)

Yes they did use numbers back then but only on the back and they were not publicized. All the pictures are frontal group pictures.

If you go to 1925-26 link you can see the player with #12 I doubt it was Cagle.

We always do things that make us look bush league. (The numbers that we have retired at the football stadium, ex # 9) I could list more I have been a fan my whole life and I always will be but If we want to be big time we need to act big time.

I was with you on the announcer leading the cheer.

But I disagree with you on the retired numbers. I think it looks first rate.
