I don't really care about 18 but if they give it to Welter the whole fricking thing is a joke.


Is this one of those posts that proves why LSU has the best fans in the country?

The previous winners make the decision. Not the team. Not the coaches. Do you trust them? Doesn't matter. Thank goodness it isn't you.

No. It is a post that proves our fans watch the games and how Welter holds on to the ball carrier and gets dragged 3 yards downfield. He lacks the physical talent needed at MLB and his "coach on the field" mental game will never make up for poor play. Unless Welter got twice as good this offseason as last season, then he should not see the field, and definitely doesn't deserve the 18 jersey.

They could both wear it.

Did Richard Murphy deserve it? I think some of y'all think it's about just talent, but that's not the case.

Like I said, I don't know. There may be some other rule I don't know about, but I think it would be cool for Collins to get #18.


Ok, it seems like we go through this every year, but here is the rule and the reason why an O-lineman will never wear #18.

Rule 7, Section 1, Article 4-a-3

At least five linemen must wear jerseys numbered 50-79.

The penalty would be illegal formation, 5yds from the previous spot. For arguments sake, Collins could feasibly wear 18 IF there were five other linemen wearing 50-79 EVERY PLAY.

Lineman will just have to start their own number tradition. Maybe in a few yrs we can debate who should wear #70 (Ciron Black and Collins) have done well wearing it!

Kickoff coverage (Welter) and kick returns (Magee) would they really be on the field at the same time? All in for 2 18's


The point is that LSU needs to have someone on the field at all times wearing #18. Is that so difficult to understand? You never know when a wandering eye of the tiger might cause LSU to lose focus. The most efficient way to handle this is to have #18 Magee on offense, #18 Welter on defense, #18 someone on the kick return team (if Magee isn't the return man), #18 someone on the kick coverage units. And if that doesn't work we need to make sure that, you know, there's a guy with #3 and a guy with #15 on the field or maybe #12 and #6. Even guys with a #1 and a #8 or just plain old #81 would work. Something that says LSU has the #18 covered. At all times.

Every time?
No other LB anywhere has missed tackles?

You know this because you are with the team everyday in the gym and at practices?

I'm sure you have discussed this with his coaches and since they respect your vast playing and coaching experience so much they agree.

Never see the field. Never?

You sir are a freaking idiot and my sincere hope for you is that you are young, single and childless. I pray that your particular level of idiocy has not been passed on.

I was watching miss state game last night.
Barrow looked terrible. Worse than welter.

Nobody ever mentions his shitty play.
Wonder why?

Then you will remember that welter played so poorly the announcers started commenting about it.

How? Because I think it would be a joke to award him the 18 jersey?

I don't think the guy should get the number for what it stands for and this somehow translates to LSU having bad fans?

FU a-hole.

It's funny the incessive welter bashing never seems to bother you.
Say something factual about another player and your vagina gets all drippy and mad.
