What, was his number 5.5 at LSU?

Look back a few posts :sosp:

Sure, that way all those people with 90 Jersey's could just rip off the name.

Gantt enlightens a bit...

As for numbers, equipment manager Jackie Miles will often sit on the numbers of departed veterans who had a little clout around here.

So it's worth noting at the moment there's no 17, 45, 53 or 87. It would be surprising if former QB Jake Delhomme's number gets issued for a while.

Panthers play the numbers game

Makes sense. Miles flatly refused to issue Sam Mills' #51 until the team officially retired it.

But holding out on #53? LOL... Hanibal Navies says thank you.

So does Na'il Diggs.

Though in fairness, we only had one drafted player who would have been looking for a number in the 50s, and instead he chose the 90s (whiich makes sense, his being a hybrid).

There are plenty of '50' numbers still available.

Well, we have an 85 again, and it's a tight end, undrafted TE Andrew George.

Also got a 77, given to guard Noah Franklin.

Think it was already mentioned that Pike got Weinke's #16 (ugh)

Tyrone Poole's old #38 will get stretched a lot more with Rashawn Jackson wearing it.

Sauerbrun's old #6 went to kicker Aaron Pettrey.

Aaaaand the dreaded #8 has been given out, but thankfully not to a quarterback. Undrafted punter Blake Haudan got it.

(doubt it'll be lucky for him either, though)

That was my point Mr. Scot. Diggs was as professional as they come, and I'm sure from what I've heard, he was well liked in the locker room. But, keeping #53 from being re-issued immediately after he left is taking it a bit too far, lol.

But, you're right, Norwood was the only real viable candidate for a # in the 50s but opted for one in the 90s.

BTW, lurkers for the observer, give me my rep for giving you stories to write about in your 'paper.' LOL @ 'inside the panthers' making the issuing of numbers their story after this thread was made yesterday. IT BELONGS TO MEEEEE!!!!
