I may get downvoted or bashed for this, but I really would not be mad if Lane got rid of the number 7 tradition. I feel like the number 7 puts too much pressure on a kid to go out and make plays and act like the most impactful player....similar to the madden curse.

I am cool with the number 18 tradition since it is about being a selfless player and putting the team first. That's the definition of a true leader.

But let's quit awarding number 7 to the "best" guy

Rant over

I saw some clip about Bert Jones' number 7 being retired this year. You never know what is true anymore. does anyone know? If true, that should take care of anyone getting that number ever again.

#7 & #18 jersey number posts on TD are great indicators of when we need football back ASAP

These number things aren’t for the fans. It’s for the players.

I think it affects you way more than it does the player.

If you don't like the tradition, just don't bother talking about it. For some reason, you feel the need to cry about something the players love. Just shut up and go back to your video game in your mom's basement.

His jersey is being retired, not the number.

These offseason threads are finally almost over




Have we started getting the influx of ‘what will be the first play lsu runs from scrimmage?’ threads yet???

Followed by the always corny replies of:

‘The annexation of Puerto Rico’
‘Toss dive!!!!’
‘Short side option!’



Same shite, every year, with the same played out corny replies

No.

We're keeping the number 7 tradition.

We're keeping the number 18 tradition, and we're keeping the number 7 tradition.

It’s not our tradition-if it doesn’t mean anything to the players, they’ll end it. Don’t see that happening because it’s usually talked about in broadcasts.
