I pointed out that the jerseys of the two white winners were retired from use while the Black winner’s jersey continued to be worn

Only Billy Cannon's number has been retired. It's the only number LSU has retired in football period. It was done in 1960. AT the time, he was the only Heisman winner in school history and the leader on LSU's only, at the time, consensus national title team in 1958.

No one has requested to wear Joe Burrow's #9 since 2019, so the issue hasn't come up. But his number isn't retired. Burrow even said when asked about it that no one had asked to wear it and if they did, things change. He didn't seem bothered at all by the idea of someone else wearing #9 at LSU because it isn't that serious.

But if you want to discuss the difference between Burrow and Daniels, sure. Burrow went undefeated and won a national title, while Daniels didn't. Fair or not, winning a national title adds a lot of points to a QB's legacy. Add to that, Burrow embraced the community while at LSU (see his Heisman trophy speech and his "Burreaux" jersey on senior day as a couple of examples). His family also embraced the LSU community, while Daniels' family did not and has not. He also continues to come back and still does a lot of charity work in the Baton Rouge community. Daniels does not. They're just not the same.

That said, had Daniels not done what he did last week, his and Burrow's jerseys would have eventually been retired. LSU just doesn't do that quickly. Of all the jerseys that have been retired since Billy cannon, it has taken between 38-56 years for that to happen. Daniels just played at LSU 3 years ago.

LSU has an athletic department policy as of 2007 that no new numbers will ever be taken out of circulation and retired in any sport. Jerseys will just be honored.

What gives me pause is they're talking about the demographic of ages 20 to 39. Statistically, the average age of a first marriage for men today are right at 30 years old. The average in 2000 was right at 26 years old. That shift alone to getting married later would naturally create a large population of single men in the 20 to 39 year old range. Is it that men just aren't getting married at all or they're just getting married later?

---

agreed. I got married at 31 so I’d have been a part of this statistic for 11 years.

And having an age range that goes to 39 also includes a probably not small number of men who have been married but are now divorced.

I think it’s prob accurate marriage rates are down overall but this “study” is also likely exaggerating the numbers with creative math

DVH signed an extension through 2031 and got a raise to $2.1M/year

Not sure where you’re seeing Vitello was extended by the Giants. Buster Posey just said he wasn’t getting fired this year. He signed a 3 year deal. Not getting fired early isn’t getting extended

So he pled not guilty to second degree murder in NY state court and now has admitted under oath that he shot the guy and why he did it. Guess the state case should be taken care of now as well. So I guess all of this charade was to have the death penalty taken off the table

It's really wild, just last night I was listening to a podcast with Skip, Barbier, Furniss, and Chris Demouy from a few years ago. Then I wake up this morning to the news Skip had passed away

LSU is notorious for being slow about retiring numbers. It took like 40 years before Canon got his retired.

---

no it didn't. His was retired right after his senior season. Literally no one ever wore 20 again. You're probably thinking of his statute at the stadium. That wasn't finished until 2018 and, unfortunately, he died a few months before it was unveiled

Everyone else who's had their jersey retired, yeah, it's taken between 38 and 56 years

When was the last time LSU didn't have a transfer QB?

But to answer your question, Garrett Nussmeier last year

"there are issues that need to be worked out between my team and LSU"

Jesus man, grow the frick up and stop letting your team, aka mommy, fight battles you don't even care to fight. Maybe just give Pickett a call and squash this bullshite. This is so dumb

Brees would still be the Saints GOAT for getting us there once and to the NFC Championship Game 3 times, along with all the playoff wins

so his team winning more than any other have a lot to do with his legacy as a Saints QB?
