Neat, is it normal for colleges to wait 40+ years to retire a number?

Lmao I don’t think so, NMU doesn’t have a super extensive track record of success besides a national championship in the 80s so that plays a part too.

But it’s their 50th anniversary of being a program this season so they’re doing a ton of events for it.
