LSU began the season promoting #9 and #10 jerseys(I had issues with this even before the suspensions). Now those players aren't part of the active roster. Should there not be a push to promote, #2, #7(again) and #11?

2,3, probably 4,5,7,9,10, and 11 should be available every year, regardless of who wears them. We've had enough good players over the years wearing those numbers.

7 and 11 have definitely had some great tigers over the years. I suppose 18 would be a good jersey to have if someone of significant standing with the team is to wear it every year.

38 should always be available. Looks like we our set at kicker and punter again.

if you are a fan that likes to wear jerseys, you should just buy a #7 or #18 jersey.

I bought a #7 jersey back when it was Ali Highsmith's (i think). I have actually never worn it, but i let someone else wear it to the game on Saturday.

With the roster turnover what it is in college it's silly to buy a jersey number based on a particular person. Since I bought my jersey seven years ago the number's been used by everyone from the starting QB to a walk-on who never saw the field.

I don't think I would ever actually wear a jersey, but if I bought one, it would be a 3.

The only 2 jerseys I have are 25 and 14. I am happy with both. I love WRs and came very close to getting a 9 for Doucet or 80 for Bowe, but never did.

To me, though, pro football is more of a commercialized jersey sport while college football is basically t-shirts. I just bought the jerseys to have them and really only wear them the day before games when I am out of town.

it does depend on the year...however, most years there are multiple jersys promoted. I believe there was talk about #18 being the "staple" jersey, signifying team leader; or something like that
