Yes, it will be a very meaningful ceremony for Toby. "We're retiring this jersey, which we already retired 15 years ago, in somebody else's name...."

Garvin -- so imagine that fifteen years from now the AD reaches out to Toby and says, "Hey, we think you're one of the greatest players to ever strap on a Stanford helmet, and we'd like to honor you with a ceremony at halftime of our biggest game this season. (And as you know, we've only done this for three other players in Stanford history.) Obviously, we retired John Elway's #7 fifteen years ago, and I'm sure you were happy to see that since you actually chose to wear #7 to honor him, but this night will be about you. Gerhart 7 will now hang along side Nevers 1, Plunkett 16, and Elway 7, never to be worn again."

Do you really believe that that wouldn't be meaningful?
