I don't like that the tradition has turned into naming 2 #18s
ETA: And also, the previous #18 should name the new #18

They'll make it official at the L-Club.
I do like the Curry choice. 2020 Curry is looking good. Kid put in alot of work. I'd like to say he saw some OL go from "bust" to "boom", like Deculus and Cush. However, it's a culture thing in the ops building. And that's not just good, it's great.
Clark is one of the "old men" now. And he stuck with it with his mom and all. Leadership and no-quit is always worth rewarding. And we will be relying on him this year. Without Delpit he and Jacoby are our defense QBs.

Who cares who gets #18 or even #7 for that matter. Childish BS as we saw how the hand me down of the #7 did not work out for that transfer receiver and it did not work on Delpit. Wear your own number and quit worrying about a number

But the tradition of #18 isn't just about a number. I'd say it is less about the number and more of the awarding of it.
If #18 can be said to be about any one word that word is character. It takes a lot of character to come back from an injury.
So two things:
1. In this world mental strength and character should be something rewarded in young people.
2. It's a peer-to-peer tradition. Most traditions are the school and it's fans, including the team. This is by them, for them. Fame is being known to many across lines. Recognition is from your peers. The best rewards come from your peers... and being rewarded for character by your peers is a pretty high recognition.
To say to it needs to go away is to say that peer-to-peer recognition holds no value to us, the fans. Well, it should hold value to us. This is the team and coaches saying "this guy is the strongest mentally of us all". Why dismiss that out of hand when we gush over 5* rankings and yards per carry. Rankings are a recognition of potential; why should we care about that recognition but not one by our own team for high-character?

Why does LSU have to have a #7 this year?

I really like both picks. I think Curry is the guy we rely on a lot in quarters 1-3, and let Emery’s big play ability loose in the 4th when the defense is tired. Curry might be the most violent runner I’ve seen come through LSU

Why did it become a 2 player thing?

That’s right. You don’t know. The people who decide DO know. Maybe Stevens, while a great hard-nosed player, is not a leader. Maybe Damone is the hardest worker and the main leader on the defense.
