Brian Kelly Shares His Thoughts On The No. 7 & No. 18 Jerseys

It’s one or the other. Both numbers are overkill. #7 and it’s not even close

Need to scrap it. Felt like an artificial and forced tradition like the Arkansas rivalry.

Kelly’s trying to manufacture a poignant movie script like moment where a handful of seniors are still in the locker room after the rest of the team has left. BK walks in like he’s about to cut out the lights and a player tosses him the two jerseys. “Hey coach. We decided we don’t want to make these numbers special anymore. Each man plays there best and to that higher standard.” *Kelly nods with a hearty half grin, indicating he is pleased.* then says “alright boys. Well, let’s leave it all on the practice field. I’m proud of you guys already.” It’s like Kelly is reading from a script. I don’t like it.

It is funny all of the silly people that hold on so dearly to the # crap. I have never liked it as it is silly to call out any player of the eleven on the field. It is as silly as that 12th man bull shite texas 8&4 does.

I don't care what # they wear. If the team does, let it be so.

For the love of god 18 has been a curse. End the tradition.

Childish and little league. The Man makes the number.

Stupid tradition, should end it

It really doesn’t matter. Chad Jones, early doucet, Bradie James, Trev Faulk, Kevin Faulk, Skylar Green, Trinidon Holiday… #3 & #5 was a thing before Patrick Peterson & Tyrann Mathieu.

7 to Boutte and 18 to Brennan, Gaye, or Ward.

Gerkin Im with you on that famn rap song "Im from Louisiana"... It shows oure ignotance to alwaya blare that song all game long every game. I was in the stands quite a few times and fans from other teams would how stupid that song was.

Im ready for that to die along with the “im from louisiana “ pre-game song

BK is smart for doing this. Giving Giles #7 was a shitstain for a long while after

The only thing that matters is winning.

That’s fair for #7 but #18 IMO should be a team and coaches ability to override the decision. #18 is much more special and should be voted on based on a few variables, grades, veteran status, personality on and off the the field and leadership qualities.

Play a few games and award it to someone
