Temple University Athletics - Owls Select Tough Guys for Single Digit Jerseys

 

[IrishLion]

I understand the demand on single-digit numbers...

But I always think it's cool when players wear numbers not normally reserved for their position. Like a WR wearing a number in the 20's or 40's, or a running back wearing a number in the high 40's (sort of common in the NFL still).

The one bright side to ball-hawking defensive tackles...

its getting to a point now with WR's seeing a dude wear a number in the 80's is kind of unique!

Never like seeing DL wear single digits, especially freshmen generally means they are high star recruits with big ego's.

I hate when players are promising their favourite number. They should be earned, not given as recruiting promises

Yeah, it's not even unique now haha. If I'm a DL and I want to get noticed, I'm asking for number 33 or something.

Blankenship still on team?

Haven't heard anything one way or another, but still listed at 92 on roster above that was just released.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Wasn't the last thing that a decision wouldn't be made until the end of the summer (school) session? But that he was 'separated' from the team in the meantime?

he was only suspended before, not kicked off
