No not really, because Tim is a class act. He doesn’t care that #15 is still in use.

Exactly. JD5 looks like a MORON here. Not sure exactly what he thinks LSU will do?!

Its just another symptom of the transfer portal and NIL. These guys are mercenaries and don't care about the school.

I don't think Daniel's thought this through. He looks like a spoiled brat.

I look forward to him getting asked a million questions about it at every press conference.

I get if a school retires a number and ask the player if it is okay. But I think a few numbers should not be touched at most schools. Like at UF(Football)

Tebow(15)
Danny(7)
Spurrier(11)
Youngblood(74)
E Smith(22)

Eh....

At the end of the day, it's just a number. And people can be reminded of them everytime someone else puts on that number. Plus if we retired numbers, we would start seeing more and more double numbers. It's bad enough having a guy on defense and a guy on offense with the same number.

I could point out to several other things that would make Tebow NOT a class act, but that's inappropriate for this board.

No. We don't retire jerseys at Florida. Never have, never will.

Edit: Spurrier's WAS retired. Then he un-retired it. Hasn't happened since, as we are following that precedent.

Bingo, will never understand any hatred he got. I am convinced it was just legacy media bs given his faith and the bulk of fans actually liked or respected him

Not sure NFL media will really care after a couple of days.

I’m surprised that Tebows number has not been retired.

Brantley did as well as Spurrier..which I do not get honestly..Smith, Tebow, Taylor Youngblood, Spikes, Wilber, Danny, etc

But at least they have flags with their names around the stadium in the Ring of Honor. I thought they had a few numbers retired but I guess not.

Tebow was a hard guy to root against. Even for opposing fans. Excellent young man, excellent Christian. Role model for younger kids

Everything many CFB players are not these days

He was only disliked because of the Media. I think most SEC fans are christians; so were torn. The media was constantly talking about him.

Wait you think you are going to bring something up about Tebow that is inappropriate for this board?

Come on now, spill it. I can't wait to hear this.

We have a hall of fame and a ring of honor for that. Retiring numbers is dumb. I am so glad coach Spurrier un-retired his number.

Seeing the source of this comment, it was probably the fact that he had a competitive drive and actually won games
