ColoradoHusk Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 While jersey numbers can get doubled up for offense and defense, it sounds like they won’t do that for the single digit guys. From the article @lo countryposted, it seems like they are going to have no more than 10 players in single digits. I actually like that, as it shows it’s a reward for the truly outstanding players. 1 Quote Link to comment

Stumpy1 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Sims looks like he should be a LB instead. Makes our LB and Rover look small. 3 Quote Link to comment

Hopefully Sims can swim around defenders and is as elusive as a good linebacker to get beyond the line of of scrimmage. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Single digits, the new non discriminatory blackshirts tradition. Or if they also continue the blackshirt tradition…..how badass is the guy with a single digit blackshirt? Huh? Huh? Think about that. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

I find it alarming the lack of talk about when black shirts will be handed out. We are into week 2 and I don't think I've seen anyone ask 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Husker in WI Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I'll enjoy seeing a number 4 flying around at LB again! I am curious if any players really don't want the single digit - some guys are really attached to their numbers and have worn the same one since they were kids. I think you have to recognize what an honor it is and change anyway. But say Buschini earned a single digit number, is he going to change after specifically going with 18 to honor Berringer? Moot point this year because a punter isn't going to get voted one of the "toughest players" (not offense intended to punters, they just don't do a lot of the tough parts of practice), but players wear numbers to honor friends and family a decent amount. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don’t think any of the “honored” players would be forced to take a single digit number they didn’t want. Would kind of defeat the purpose. Quote Link to comment
