Congratulations to KSHOF inductee @riggo44 on having his number retired by the @Commanders.

I want everyone to know my deep sense of gratitude to Josh Harris and the entire Burgundy and Gold organization for this honor. But this recognition is not for me alone.

It should be shared with my forever teammates, coaches, and ultimately YOU, the fans.

You and I are forever tied to 44

You gave me breath

I gave you heart.

And I hope more laughs than tears.

The @KSHOF appreciates the sports information staffs at Kansas institutions & around the nation. Without the support of these pros, we couldn't conduct our affairs in honoring achievements of our inductees. While we recognize them this week, we value SIDs every day. #CelebrateCSC
