    Richard Dickson has changed his number to 18 and I don't like it. TE's who don't wear numbers in the 80's bother me for some reason. Especially Jason Witten while he was at Tennessee and wore #1. And while examining the roster I also noticed that we don't have a #94, I know it was Marquise Hill's number but I was wondering if was permenantly retired

    TE's and WR's that wear #'s in the eighties bother me. It is too old school looking. Go with a single digit...

    Seeing how two major players in LSU's 03 & 07 National Championships wore #18, I have no problem with it. :wave:

    If you wear your aluminum foil helmet, you'll like it better. :grin:

    It happens all the time in college when a teammate who has a certain number leaves. Besides, if he's as productive as the last #18, we'll be in good shape.

    I thought I read somewhere that it was a nod from Hester to Dickson, like assuming leadership or something.

    I don't at all mind WR's and TE's with numbers in the 80's, though. It seems right to me.

    I think Dickson was #18 in HS.
