It's not uncommon for players to double up on numbers before the season.

no.. he meant the other way around

like nobody would wear 60 for a handful of years as a tribute

just no 21s and I'll be okay

Only one Offically retired is 33 , although I would never want to see anyone wear #28 again unless D. Green comes back.

Oh, I thought 44 was also officially retired. I wouldn't want to see a scrub get the #44 unless he is the #1 rated RB out of college.

i think about that all the time. we can only covet numbers for so long, before they are needed again. i am all about recognizing greatness, but new guys flying around in 84 doesnt bother me.

Right now he's our starting FS, so I don't think so, especially with LaRon as our starting SS... (and Doughty is a SS as well as Horton)

Never saw the kid on the field, missed the preseason games and refused to watch the last half of the season, i Didnt even know he had it.

I think every number should be allowed to be worn, except for the only officially retired number of course, #33. This whole thing with unofficially retiring numbers is getting silly. It should be officially retired or in active circulation, no in between. There are plenty of ways to honor players, put their name in the ring of honor and move on.

So right now we have...

#11 Thomas
#12 Kelly
#13 Armstrong
#18 Austin
#19 Wade
#83 Hagans
#84 Galloway
#87 R.Williams
#89 Moss

They should have gave Hagans #17. That way we would have had an 11,12,13, then 17, 18, 19. Then made Galloway #88 so we would have had 87, 88, and 89.

I'd guess Darryl Clark will wear his PSU #17.

yup.
add 81 and 28 and maybe a couple others and then be done with it.
