  • If your school could only sell one jersey number, which one would it be?
    Atlanta, GA

    • Probably #1 for us.

        • Back to that expansion speculation....

          I really have no idea where it will all end up in the end, other than to be firmly convinced that expansion is not over, and that it will include at least a school or two that will leave us scratching our heads in disbelief. And though I somewhat understand the supposed plus factors that grabbing Rutgers and Maryland bring, I still think we could have done much better, especially as far as the Terps are concerned. I would have preferred that we had stopped at 12 teams, but what do I know?

          ACC locked down? Maybe, but I'm sure the lawyers for Delaney will be closely watching the legal stuff going on with Maryland and their exit from the ACC. The ACC may think that they have the rest of their teams locked down, but keep in mind, $$$ can make a lot of things happen and the B1G has lots of it.

          • Maryland was a uppercut to the ACC. They along with Rutgers took most the northeast away from the ACC.

              • Michigan put the #1 jersey on the map for WR's. That's the iconic jersey to me. 21, 2 & 16 are behind that.

                Tom Harmon's should be up there but Moe's didn't sell that one, AFAICR.

                • Definitely #1 for UM, was hoping to get conversation from other schools going.

                        • Retired Ohio State Football Numbers

                          Posted on August 31, 2011 by house141
                          Here are all the retired Ohio State football jersey numbers and the dates in which they were retired. Ohio State has since announced there will not be any additional numbers retired. Hence the reason #10 has not been retired for the only Heisman Trophy winner not to have his number retired, Troy Smith.
                          #45 Archie Griffin (10/30/99)
                          #31 Vic Janowicz (9/23/00)
                          #40 Howard “Hopalong” Cassady (11/18/00)
                          #22 Leslie “Les” Horvath (10/6/01)
                          #27 Eddie George (11/10/01)
                          #47 “Chic” Harley (10/30/04)
                          WH Woody Hayes (9/10/05)
                          #99 Bill Willis (11/03/07)

                          • Probably #7 for us....Scott Frost and Eric Crouch. After that, maybe 21....Roger Craig and Mike Brown. Frazier put 15 in the running.

                            • 17 Players in Nebraska Cornhusker Football History Have Had Their Jerseys Retired

                              By Kevin Gaines | Yahoo! Contributor Network ? Sat, Aug 4, 2012 3:57 PM EDT

                              In the storied history of the Nebraska Cornhuskers football program, they have retired 17 jerseys of former players. These 17 players combined for 23 All-America awards and 6 of them are in the College Football Hall of Fame. The first jersey was retired following the 1949 season when the "N" club voted to retire jersey #60 to honor the career of Tom "Train Wreck" Novak. Novak was a 1949 All-American as well as a four time All-Conference selection. Most recently was the retirement of #93 of Ndamukong Suh. Suh could very well be one of the most decorated players in Husker history. Suh won the Outland, Lombardi, Bednarik and Nagurski awards following his senior season. Here is a list, including the ones I mentioned previously, of all retired jerseys in the history of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

                              1983 - #30 Mike Rozier, running back - 1983 Heisman Trophy, Maxwell, Walter Camp & a member of the College Football Hall of Fame

                              • Johnny Rogers is the only one that strikes me as having any national buzz

                                If I had to name an all-time great Nebraska football player, he is first one that comes to mind.
                                I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on
