I think so too...
But if either seals the deal for a top recruit to sign with us them I'm all for it.

They are just numbers after all

Which is why I don't understand all of the threads and discussion about it. What can be done with this information before the first game of the season?

No they should stay but just be more selective doesn’t have to be every year

When someone like Giles is given #7 that number should never be handed out again!

No but it should done with a team vote, not passed down from one player to the next. They should never be given because a player requested it when they were recruited or transferred ( Giles I am talking to you ). I also think it should be more selective and earned by merit, never given as a incentive. I don't think it should be a must that is handed out ever year.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

We gave 7 to Giles for Gods sake. That alone shows you it was just handed out as a way to get him here.

It has zero meaning.

7 shouldn’t be treated like anything but a popular number.

Fournette, Peterson and Highsmith were all freshmen.

Seems like guys like you care way more about it then the people that are ok with it.

If the players like it then keep it. Idgaf about what you care about honestly.

this statement is a clear indication of the lack of understanding of what the #18 is supposed to mean and why many of us wouldn't mind the #7 obsession going away but would like to see the #18 tradition continue.

I don’t mind the 18 thing. It’s a nice new tradition unique to LSU.

But the rants obsession with 7 is just stupid.

If the players want to give #7 and #18 meaning, then so be it. It is 100% up to them to decide if it's something special or not to THEM.

Why any fan gives a single damn, I'll never understand. It's not about you, what you like, or what you think is stupid. It's not for the fans, it's for the players.
