#17 - new Clemson Tradition?
Oct 27, 2009, 2:42 PM
|
|
With the popularity of Buster Hunter's #17 making the rounds of Tigers players this year, perhaps, Dabo & Co. should consider keeping the ritual alive in the coming years.
The Aggies (a powerfully tradition rich program) have their 12th man jersey. The Tigers can do something similar with #17. Dabo preaches that players play the way they practice, so why dont the coaches select a player each week who best demonstrates that 'get after it' attitude during practice and let him have the honor of wearing #17...and call him "The Hunter."
Any thoughts?

That's a great idea! You should email that to Dabo.

this year. It could happen, guess thats a wait and see. The only draw back is trying to remember who is wearing that number each week.

I think the only people excluded would be O-Linemen.

I think every other position can wear #17- but don't quote me on that.
QBs? Check
RBs? Check
WRs? Check
DL? Not sure but Sapp wears 7 and "Cumble" wears 8 so I would think so
LBs? Check
DBs? Check

emailed to Dabo's assistant...

Anyway, it's an idea. Dabo and co. can do with it what they will. The o linemen wearing the number might be an issue, but an alternative is possible: sticker on helmet or something of that nature. Dabo will get the idea if his assistant gets it to him. Maybe pitch it to Plyler.

heard for a new tradition in years. There seems to be something special about seeing that #17 already. I hope people will support the idea.
