jablonsker Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 All of Husker Nation needs to contact Steve Pederson and request that #13 be put up with other Husker legends in the North endzone. It's the least he deserves and we Husker fans owe it to him. These two years have been so exciting to watch and see him as the leader of the team. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 If #15 and #7 are retired, then I will concur. Otherwise, not so fast. Quote Link to comment
LouisianaHusker Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 As the first jersey of the "new era" I totally agree. Quote Link to comment
Huskrz65 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Well, Octavien is wearing 15 so I don't think so. I know Zac has helped make this program what it is in so many ways, but Tommie did just as much, if not more (2 National Titles) and his jersey is still on the field Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Well, Octavien is wearing 15 so I don't think so. Retiring a jersey isn't he same as retiring a number. There is only one number retired IIRC. Quote Link to comment

mahoney Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I like Taylor more than the next guy but retiring a jersey is a big deal and unless we win the big 12 and possibly the bcs then I am thinking not so fast. Keller is going to be great for us. Lucky will be great. Glenn will be great. Mo Pu is great. Austin is a warrior. Bowman is the man. Suh will be awesome. Slauson kicks a$$. Holt is going to kick some butt. Barry Turner is the sackmaster. ETC... Point is; you can't go retiring every great player's number or jersey. We have a lot of great players and to not acknowledge some of these other guys would be a mistake. Â My vote is to retire the Heisman's and those very close to it. Retire the 2000 yard rushers but don't retire every great player because we have/should have a lot. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I vote no against that. I agree with the rest that Taylor is the "man" for now, but other Huskers who have accomplished much more then he has, didn't have their jersey retired. Quote Link to comment

Agreed, you have to keep it to a minium and have the players that won or almost won the heisman get their jersiys retired. Quote Link to comment
hskrdedhed Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 USC seems to retire a jersey on a weekly basis. Quote Link to comment
Jarred04 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 USC also has 11 heisman trophy winners. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 No retiring jerseys. It should serve as motivation. When a guy gets 20....first thing he should think is "I'm wearing The Jet's number". A 15 should make a QB think of titles by Tommie Frazier. Of course they need to de-louse #3 of the Harrison Beck funk before giving it to anyone other than the water boy. Quote Link to comment
