Brian Kelly said he's done the research on No. 7 and No. 18 and understands the history it holds, but he wants to leave it up to the team as to whether they give the jerseys out to guys this year.

Get rid of the 7 tradition and just do 18.

7 places an extraordinary amount of pressure on players.

Leaving it up to the team, but all of our overweight fans voice their opinion on the matter.

As part of the reboot, do away with these.

They’ve had their day.

Hopefully, the team realizes it’s dumb to give 18 to two players.

Your friendly reminder that the story of Mauck, a National title winning QB randomly “passing down” his jersey to a 2 star freshman fullback months after he declared for the draft is completely fabricated and everyone just goes along with it because it’s a nice story.

I don’t understand why some get so butt hurt about this. If the players like the tradition, then why do some get so bent out of shape?

OP, not talking about you necessarily. Just in general

No way, it is a great tradition that has been started there at LSU. But the team just needs to vote or start picking the right players to wear and honor the jerseys. The last few picks were not good choices imo.

18 should be reserved for a senior who sticks around and shows the true heart of lsu

Could care less about #7 anymore. Last few years have ruined it, starting with Giles

Yes, No. 18 should be worn by a veteran player that shows the true grit, heart, and character of a Tiger player. While No. 7 should be worn by the best DB period.

7 goes to the best player to opt out right?

If the team decides to get rid of #7 that would be a good sign.

I swear y’all are such babies.

18 & 7 are cool traditions. Kids in HS dream of coming here an wearing 7. Just because Sting got her and Chase opted out doesn’t mean it’s ruined now.

Because this board is home to some of the most idiotic fans in all of college sports. Imagine getting so worked up over a number on a jersey decided on by the players.

Hell, there are people on here who are still convinced that Stingley had a major surgery that took months of rehab just so he didn't have to play for LSU. You are dealing with this kind of stupid.
