re: Ole miss will all wear 38 on the helmets Saturday

Yeah I was glad when they brought the jersey back. While it was retired, the honoree wore a #38 patch on his jersey. Still cool, but getting the jersey number is huge for these kids.

I think some fans might underestimate what Chucky still means to the kids on the team today. They're told the story from the start of their career and earning his number is a huge honor for them. They show up on campus vying to earn it as soon as possible.

Their entrance ritual also involves every team member touching the bust of Chucky in our entrance tunnel as they take the field.

The story of Chucky and his courage and positivity in the face of a horrible injury is a pivotal part of not only our athletics at OM but the student body as a whole.
