You ever look for the historical inaccuracies in a flick or story? Or try to spot the regular shoes being worn in cheap westerns or gladiator flicks from the 60s and 70s? Or do you just point them out during particularly slow parts of pornos? Sorry, getting away from a point I was going to make.

Tonight Pitt will have a halftime ceremony to re-honor the retired jerseys/numbers of Don Hennon, Billy Knight and Charles Smith.

Billy Knight had this to say in Atlanta:

Knight will be in Pittsburgh tonight scouting the Pitt-Notre Dame Big East opener for both teams. But he’ll also be on hand when the Panthers honor all three of their retired jersey recipients during a men’s basketball Centennial Celebration. Knight, along with Don Hennon and Charles Smith, will be introduced to the Peterson Events Center crowd while banners are raised in their honor.

“Any time your school wants to recognize you, it’s an honor,” said Knight, the only player in Pitt history to average better than 20 points and 10 rebounds in each of his three college seasons. “But it’s really not that big of a deal. The jerseys were already retired in the old building. Now they’re just putting them up in the new arena.”

Knight earned consensus All-America honors at Pitt, where he guided the 1973-74 team to a 25-4 record, an NCAA Elite Eight appearance and a school-record 22-game winning streak. Knight averaged 22.2 points and 12.0 rebounds per game during his college career before embarking on an 11-year All-Pro career in the ABA and NBA.

Here’s what I’m wondering. Will they just be re-hanging the number or hanging jerseys. Here’s why.

That was Knight playing in 1974, his senior year.

This was the original night they retired his jersey in February 1989.

Notice the logo difference? When they retired his number in ’89 they were lazy enough to use the, now classic, but at the time present script Pitt logo. But they didn’t go to that on basketball unis until Pitt joined the Big East in 1982.

I’m just wondering what they will be hanging this time.
