Certainly, if a poll on Real Salt Lake's website means anything, a large percentage of RSL's fans believe "Bommadog" deserves the honor.

As of 2:30 p.m. Thursday, more than 40 percent, 40.59 to be exact, favor retiring Williams' number to:

Andy Williams Night — 9.33 percent

Testimonial match — 20.79

Tribute song — 13.09

Statue — 9.82

Other — 6.38

What could "other" be?

Williams, along with Kreis, was a large part of RSL's evolution from the MLS dregs to league champion. Williams provided continuity from the move into a new stadium.

Tradition is another reason to retire Williams' "77." What better way for RSL, as it continues to move forward, to preserve a link to its past.
