Has there ever been any consideration of some kind of tribute -- maybe at a game, or some kind of permanent plaque -- commemorating the 1989 team? I got to thinking about what those guys went through, being so much smaller and generally overmatched, week in and week out, and thought that as Coach Bennett gets our team on the road to success, the first group of guys who took such a physical beating each week yet never quit should somehow be honored for re-starting the program.
It would be a long overdue honor to have Coach Gregg and all the guys from the 1989 team run out on the field at Ford Stadium so that all the PonyFans could thank them once more for all they gave.
Maybe at the opener of the 2004 season, the 15-year anniversary?
Jerry LeVias should be honored first, though, because of his Hall of Fame induction.
