Should Oregon start retiring numbers?

Post by Alan »

I heard a report about USC retiring their past Heisman winner’s numbers..l.. that’s a number of unavailable numbers for players. Should Oregon start retiring numbers? I would like to see 8 retired, I know Gabriel wears it out of respect for Marcus…..but. Should the Ducks start retiring numbers? Any other number besides 8? I don’t think so IMO.

No. There’s already I duplicate numbers on the team, and retiring them would make it worse. Plus we don’t want to ever do anything just because USC does it. They suck.

I like seeing 10 and 8 on our QBs. It gives me good memories.

Only retire #41 for kickers, but don’t do it publicly, do it in some sort of ritual to get rid of the kicker curse.

I think you can do a ring of honor for players/coaches but retiring numbers shouldn't be done since it's hard enough having jersey numbers for everyone on the roster, especially skill players.

Their helmet stickers rollover year to year. so if you are a junior/senior you are going to have a helmet filled with stickers probably.
