Coach Spurrier said that Marcus Lattimore will be honored this weekend during the Arkansas game as the school's all-time touchdown leader.

Lattimore's name will go up in the stadium at some point during the pregame festivities or inbetween the 1st/2nd quarter.

Spurrier also said he expects Lattimore to be at the game on Saturday.

Good, hopefully in a few years they'll have to get up there and repaint the # of TDs beside his name

He deserves to be honored big time!

Adam, I saw a few days ago that Marcus had his operation in Birmingham. That is where reknowned Dr. Andrews is on staff. We also have the "Andrews Institute" here in Pensacola. Just wondering if Dr. Andrews was the physician that did the operation. He and his "crew" are great re sports medicine. He operates on athletes from all sports. I see many pro players in baseball and football around town.

I'm pretty sure Dr. Andrews performed the operation on Marcus last Friday. I also believe he worked on Lattimore's knee injury last year as well.

He's probably the best in the business and Lattimore will benefit by having him perform the surgery.

Thanks! We here in Pensacola are spoiled having him on the local scene. I tore a tendon and two ligaments in my right hand a few months ago. One of his partners fixed it for me. My family physician was reading the report and said several times that the way they fixed my hand was sheer genius! I agreed!

Does anyone else read into the fact that Marcus having his numbers put up in the stadium that he may not be coming back?

No, I wouldn't at all. I think it's just a way to show some love to Lattimore and get the fan base excited this Saturday at Williams-Brice. He's not adding to the totals this year so might as well go ahead and do it instead of waiting till after the season. 

They'll be a bigger audience this Saturday than say at the spring game next year and CBS will be in the house as well.

I don't see it that way.  I would guess that Marcus doesn't even know what he's going to do yet.  Of course he may not, but he has some time to make that decision.

I heard it was Dr. Jobe in Birmingham that performed the surgery.  I am worried with this sign being put up could mean that Marcus isn't coming back after rehab probably going pro.  I hope this is not the case. It just seems weird that they would honor a current player especially when that number is going to change when and if he comes back.  They would have to keep changing the sign. It just seems odd to me.  Hopefully I am just paranoid.
