LSU has announced that former Tigers Charles Alexander, Robert Dugas and Robert Dow will serve as Guest Captains for the Florida Game on Saturday Night.

All three players will be honored on the field before kickoff.



There will also be a special ceremony to honor Charles Alexander, who is having his LSU jersey retired.
quote:

‘I’m truly humbled by this,” Alexander said. “Playing at LSU those four years I never dreamed that one day my jersey would be retired and be on display in Tiger Stadium. To get that phone call telling me that my jersey was going to be retired is something I will never forget. I wasn’t expecting the call, but it’s truly an honor and one of my proudest moments.”

The No. 4 worn by Alexander will join the No. 20 worn by Billy Cannon, the No. 37 worn by Tommy Casanova and the No. 21 worn by Jerry Stovall as retired jerseys in the LSU football program. All four numbers are displayed on the façade in the south end zone of Tiger Stadium.

That old color gold looks much better than today’s yellow version. Change the color back order the grey facemask as well.

I get the desire to reward past greats but not in favor of retiring numbers. When you don't see the number you don't remember. Every time I see 7 I feel Bert Jones!

So, if Charles gets his 4 retired, then I assume 9 and 5, actual Heisman winners, will soon follow. Congratulations Alexander the Great!

I totally understand, but you do know that Charles is in the College Football Hall of Fame.

Glenn Dorsey, Kevin Faulk, Patrick Peterson and Joe Burrow should have their jerseys retired.
