Kugbila gives Wharton his old #70 jersey. Kugbila takes Otah's old number.

Jersey Number Update: Travelle Wharton will wear 70 and Edmund Kugbila will now wear 79.

 

 

Is this dude trolling us?

I'm not going to say a word......

[teeray]

This is a joke right?

[TheRumGone]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[Mr. Scot]

It's real.

 

To be fair, I think it was the only 70 number not taken.

 

(60s might all be taken at this point too, and generally only centers wear 50s)

[Cyberjag]

Well, SOMEONE has to say it.  How appropriate, right?

[Salvo]

Yep...all the 60s were taken, but 73 is open.

 

Regardless...let's just overreact about it.

Maybe Kugbila's friends and family will buy the authentic Otah jersey hanging in my closet. Been trying to give that thing away for 3 years now.

i hope this 79 works out better.

 

at least he wants to get back on the field and isn't trying to find excuses to not.

[Mr. Scot]

Yep...all the 60s were taken, but 73 is open.

 

Regardless...let's just overreact about it.

 

I'm not sure that's actually true because the team page lists two 74s (Patrick Brown and Casey Walker) :unsure:

 

Gotta figure one of them is actually 73.

 

[SIGCHI222]

...you can't make this stuff up.

This is funny

I came here to give Kug props for giving Wharton his number back.  That's a classy, unselfish thing to do, especially in today's climate of money-grubbing athletes (and people at large). Cheers to Kug!
