Brand new here but a long time EMU fan and alumnus. Just curious, I was at the Howard game last week and I saw that the names, T.J. Lang, Jason Jones, and Chris Roberson are noticeably absent atop of the Rynearson Stadium walls. I think it is way past due that those great former players get recognized, what do you think?

EMU starts a lot of projects with good intent then they fade. Also, I'm not sure of the qualifications for getting your name up there. I believe Roberson had a very brief NFL career.

NFL careers don't factor in at all. Ron Adams, Gary Patton, etc. had NO NFL career but they were outstanding EMU players. Roberson played at least 3 or 4 years in the NFL and we all know that Lang and Jones are bonafide NFL starters.

Another name missing is QB Walter Church. He had an outstanding career at EMU.
