Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Who gets #18?  Murphy.

I just looked at the updated roster, and apparently running back Richard Murphy has received the now-traditional number 18 (despite some lobbying from Russell Shepard).  I can't say I argue with the decision at all.  Murphy is a 5th year senior, one who has never complained, despite never being higher than third on the depth chart at running back.  Not only that, but running back is a key position this year, and we are going to need somebody to step up.  Everyone is talking about Stevan Ridley, and for good reason, but if Murphy's knee is fully recovered, he definitely has the opportunity AND the ability to shine this year.

Another thing I noticed on the roster was that Toliver has changed his number to 8.  Craig Loston will wear number 6, certainly another number to watch out for.  If anyone else notices any number changes please comment.

Yeah

There was a video of the interview that was posted on here somewhere. I don’t know how much he really cared, but he was joking around about how Dickson should give it to him.

Not news.

He was kidding around with Dickson not lobbying for the number.

Mountains and mole hills; we need to differentiate.

GEAUX TIGERS!!!
