That's the logic used around these parts.


Our fans are known for their passion... not for being logical. Grown arse men and women getting mad because a college kid gets to wear a certain jersey number. Just sad.

If I had a vote I would pick 18 for Josh Williams and 7 for Jayden Daniels.

Also going forward I would be highly selective in handing these numbers out. There could be a year where no one gets 7 before the season but could earn it during the season, especially 7. I don’t think it should automatically go to the best DB or Skill player. 18 is sort of easier to define. No matter the year team leaders always step up and separate themselves from
The pack and I think Williams applies here just as past 18’s have done in the past

Don't give a shite... See how that crap has backfired on every guy who wore 7 since the transfer from Texas Tech did not come close to holding down the tradition. Even Boutte pouted and played like shite with that number last year.

Good choice
He doesn’t seem to be the type that the expectations would derail him given the path he has come down

I heard it’s going to be Jonathan Giles. Kid was legit at Texas Tech last year.

That crap started with Miles and kept going with Orgeron. It needs to go away, just like those two knucklehead coaches

Would be nice to see a QB wearing 18 again. That’s where it started and it’s always nice when the true team leader is playing the most important position. Daniels seems to have the aptitude for it.

18 thing for leadership is fine.
7 thing for “playmaker” is stupid and should be put to pasture.

When did 7 become a team honored tradition. I only remember players voluntarily switching to that number in the offseason when it became available…

It’s time for 7 to stop.

Ah yes, how dare the coaches keep something that the players and recruits love.

As a long time fan it’s not a big deal.

But I’m not on the team. If it’s a big deal for the coaches and more important the players then I’m all for it. Let them do what they need to do to build up morale and to reinforce leadership.

7 died with Jonathan Giles. Let it stay dead.

18 means more, and should continue.
