Or were you merely quoting me to update status in general? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t recall what year Bo’s number got retired (EDIT: October 31st, 1992) or the parameters surrounding when it was able to i.e. did Bo have to officially retire from all pro sports? (EDIT: Bo’s last NFL season was 1990 due to the hip injury, so that makes sense why Auburn retired it in 1992) Perhaps Cam has to officially retire from the NFL first?

It’d be nice if we publicly knew those parameters, but it’s not like we’ve had many consensus number retirees recently, so I guess the discussion hasn’t been too loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yngwie1995 2,364 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) It's interesting that we're offering a ND commit Cam's number. And when Cam went to the Panthers, Jimmy Clausen (an ND player) held Cam's number for ransom (wanted $1M). BTW, I don't have a strong opinion either way about DK playing with #2.

I don’t think that’s true, if by “drags out” you mean “goes much past this weekend.” Kids have timetables and such they like to do these things. Sounds like he might want to announce it coinciding with the start of his season which is about 2 weeks or so away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82be 14,912 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I don’t have a preference if Auburn retires #2 or not but Cam played pretty unselfishly in my opinion while at Auburn. Maybe someone should just ask him how he feels about it. He has a statue in his honor. I would bet the jersey wouldn’t be that big of a deal to him and that’s all I’m saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the fluidity of how the kids are being paid/rewarded before doing anything on campus, I wonder if there would be a different sentiment about it if for instance Bo or Cam wanted to personally offer their number to an especially talented prospect to lure them and make the team better. We are now negotiating everything. Is that to far from a fan perspective? Obviously it would all need to be in agreement with a head coaches wants. What if Bo Jackson told Bo Jackson it would be an honor to see him line up for AU in 34? 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where the sentiment comes from but I don’t share it in regard to retiring numbers in any sport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
