I think it would be a good thing. But did Jack have a doctorate? Honorary?

 

[Drewbowski]

I may be wrong but I thought that MSU gave Jack and honorary phd.

 

[RocketDawg]

It's possible. I've just not heard about it. I was never big into using the title for honorary degrees though.

 

[AFDawg]

He got an honorary doctorate in 2002.

While normally honorary degree holders shouldn't use the accompanying title, it would seem okay to me for an on campus recognition at the institution who gave the degree.

 

[ArcherSPS]

yes, it was an honorary doctorate.
ETA: DS would you mind tweeting it out??

Put with that TAMU cutting down the nets for their SEC BB Co-Championship.

Why did A&M not deserve to cut down the nets?

Why did A&M not deserve to cut down the nets?

Because it's as weak as cutting down the nets for making the Sweet 16. But hey, they own the nets.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

What's "weak" about it? They won the conference for God's sake. It's a bad conference but they still won it.

What's "weak" about it? They won the conference for God's sake. It's a bad conference but they still won it.

Would they have done the same on the road? And it's weak because it's not post-season. "But they won the #1 seed for the conference tournament" I know, for God's sake.**

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Will his plaque say "Jack Crystal" or "Dr. Jack Cristal"?

 

[DawgatAuburn]

So the SEC tournament is post-season, but it's not a home game. Is it acceptable to cut those nets?

Every conference champion in the country cuts down the nets if they clinch at home, or if their last game is at home.
