I'd like to see Ridley get it. That is of course as long as it doesn't upset the grand wizard. And yes, that actually IS a joke.
If that's the case then should we hand some walk on #20 next season? :nope: I think the point of the tradition, although it's very recent, is that it does mean something. An honor fro a special player.
Although he does meet some of the qualifications, we're not real sure if he has the Heart of a Tiger yet. The never say quit quality that has seperated past recipients of this honor from other players.
That is all fine and dandy but the passing of the #18 jersey is now becoming tradition of the LSU players. Has nothing to do with all the other stuff you mentioned. Hester passed it to Dickson and asked Dickson to pass it when he graduated. Simple as that... My question is did Mauck pass it to Hester?
