It's a whole lot of bucks, it looks like LSU only sells 5 jerseys with names on them. I was at Dicks SG yesterday and I saw a Burrow, Daniels, Jefferson, Chase and Nabers jersey and tshirts.


Damn, I need to make a trip to ths store. Nothing like that in Destin

They get like 4/5$ on a $140 jersey. I wonder how many people are buying lsu jayden Daniel's jersey.

I can see them selling good on campus but I don't think they sell well besides on campus.

This isn't Daniels or Pickett's fault. it's Brian Kelly and staff's fault for making promises they couldn't keep.



They all share in some blame.

Daniels is handling of this is pretty shitty. But he has the right to be upset. We won't be allowing anyone to wear 9 in football or 3 in baseball. 5 should be the same.

Kelly let someone make a promise they couldn't keep, but at least he did the right thing once Pickett got to campus.

Pickett should just wear another fricking number and stop whining about a number.

Kiffin should have sacked up and told Pickett to be a man and just wear another number

He's a starting QB in the NFL. How about appreciate that LSU helped you and you helped LSU. Realize LSU has to do what's best for them now and you do what's best for you at the next level. Move on.

I doubt seriously Burrow would say a negative word about LSU issuing number 9 to anyone. Why does shite like this only seem to affect LSU?

A&M has a Heisman winner with a retired number, but they never retired Manziel's number. Speedy Noil wore number 2. Did Manziel cry about it?

This is so freaking stupid and only seems to happen at LSU. So disappointed in Daniels right now.

Why should Daniels dictate that nobody else wears a number at LSU? Because he won a Heisman? He doesn't win a Heisman without LSU. Plenty of Heisman winners have had their numbers worn at other schools and didn't throw the school under the bus.

I believe Speedy Noil wore 2 at A&M after Manziel. Maybe I'm wrong. My memory sucks. I'll never understand fans wanting to retire numbers either. Especially at the college level.

I'm not saying his number is off-limits, bc I don't agree with retiring numbers. But LSU hasn't given out Crews' or Burrow's numbers. It sounds like Daniels was told no one would wear his, but we don't know for how long that promise was made. It couldn't / shouldn't have been made permanently.

Personally, I think Daniels' handling of this is shitty, as I've said more than once. But this all starts with Pickett demanding a number that he knew a year ago was off limits. Before Kiffin gave it out and this started some shite show, LSU should have put something out about how long a number can be out of circulation, even if that answer is never. But you have Jay Johnson (yes, different sport) on the record saying that he wouldn't give out Crews' number to a recruit who wanted it.
