It’s always felt like a forced, manufactured, tradition to kind of copy A&M’s 12th man tradition. But if it means something to the players that’s ALL that matters

We have the annoying 18 and 7 talk every year and a lot of people are whiney about it. I do understand, 7 was a lot of fun before coach O ruined it by giving it to someone unproven and its never been the same since then. 18, on the other hand, is a true honor. It's earned through dedication to the team, and leadership. While 7 may need to go, 18 needs to stay. Its an honor to wear that number.

18 is going to look good on Nuss, let's geaux kick everyone in the mouth.

Best case scenario for this year:
-National Championship
-Heisman Trophy for Nussmeier
-#18 gets retired and never worn by another LSU player.

18 is a lot luckier than 13.

It’s bad luck to be superstitious.

And neither Joe nor Jayden had the offensive line that Nuss had his first year.

Please stop with the awful comparisons. We all want Nuss to do well but comparing previous Heisman winners to each other isn't close to being fair, especially for Nuss.

Hate that his #13 won’t become iconic like #9

It’s a jinx at this point. 13 is a luckier number. We should end this nonsense.


So now a players number directly affects what he does on the field….

How do you know the kid didn’t dream of one day being the guy honored to wear #18 at LSU?

In other words frick off with this bullshite.

This means he’ll be twice as good as Burreaux. You can’t argue with math.
