Good to hear. I guess if the organization hasn't officially retired the number then maybe it isn't off limits. The way the story was reported I thought Bruce wanted #80 and got permission from Rice. I thought that was tacky on Bruce's part. Glad to hear he won't wear the number. I'm sure fans woudn't be too happy about it.
