Area Codes on Helmets?

[ScottyIce]

A few people have wondered if Frost will allow players to wear their area code on their helmet. There is no answer to it yet, but here is something maybe someone knows. McQuitty has a sticker with 104 on it (not his area code), does anyone know what that stands for?

That's number of points he's going to score this season.  Duh.

1.156 touchdowns per game. Assuming we play 15 games.

I would guess it is to identify the player's helmet.  We don't want mcquitty and avery Anderson fighting over  who's number 4 helmets is who's.   Avery Anderson is 04.   Mcquitty is 104.  Saw 24 and 25 on back of reeds and a. Williams

That makes sense.  I still want him to score 104 points, though.

His favorite radio station?

He was the 104th man on the roster

It's how many catches he'll have this season.

Sounds good.

would be a less agregious way of allowing players to put their area codes on their helmets though if Frost wants to continue it.

As for area codes on helmets - I'd prefer if they didnt do that.  Not because I'm a traditionalist by any means, but I'd prefer they find a different way to be expressive rather than copying what was done at UCF.

He'd have to grab some 2 pointers

Not really copying if it is your idea to begin with.   A fairly inexpensive way to let them rep where they are from.

Good point.  I really think the idea is pretty cool.  Let the kids rep their area.    Never thought about the "copying" aspect.  Unsure what other thing Frost and Co could bring.  I think there will be a lot of comparisons with NU and UCF for the fore seeable future.  Hard not to with the 0-12 vs 4-8....Exact same staff......Of course that can also be bad.  Regardless, fans need to continue to relax, breath and give Frost and Co time.  (Not implying you or other posters are not)

I do think it was a good idea - for THEM, but I'd like it if we just did NU now and come up with something unique to let them rep.

This is it. If you see them walking around campus, it's on their tags and backpacks. Nothing more to it.
