| | Scout.com: Gatski's Number 72 Joins Long List Nationwide |
 | | He is a two-year starter for the Herd in 1941-42; he is MU's only member of the NFL Hall of Fame, winning eight titles in 11 tries in 12 seasons with the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions; and he was inducted into the WV Sportswriters Hall of Fame in 1974. |
 | | The University of Tennessee had retired the numbers of four players in 1946 who were killed in the war; just recently, they announced they would add Reggie White, Peyton Manning and Doug Adkins to that list, causing outrage in some quarters while others said it was about time. |
 | | Now, for the first time, a football number will be set aside as #72, worn by Frank "Gunner" Gatski, will not be worn again...except by Ryan Baynes, the junior Herd guard who currently wears the number and will, one presumes, allowed to wear the number until his career is over in 2006. |
