A few thoughts on number 8, both of them.
Posted Tue, Apr 22 1:36 pm
Aikman
Bruin for life.
What a fantastic Bruin he is. He quietly approved the use of his Hall Fame number 8 to sweeten the pot to help bring in Nico. He didn’t hold hold a press conference he just got it done.

Even though Chip didn’t work out Troy helped put together the most comprehensive and professional search for a head football coach in our history.

As for Nico,

I think most of us might have it wrong. Possibly Him and his brother might have come home for family reasons as a primary motivation. Maybe someone is sick or dying, clearly a faith driven family, maybe it’s spiritual reasons.

Either way the real man that Nico is will show itself soon and having mentors like Troy can only help.

Where can I get a UCLA number 8 jersey.

I know I can get 20 number 8 Tennessee jerseys for cheap but that’s old news.

Blessings to number 8
Both of them.

So that’s why he’s still number 8 on all these post fos said during his press conference today. Might get a number change before he plays this year.

He has to finish the academic semester at Tennessee before he can move here? Does that sound right?

Want.

Any number is fine.

His play at this point reminds me of a young Elway. His experience in the SEC won’t hurt either.

I’m one that thinks numbers shouldn’t be retired

Just hang them and pay respect but don’t retire.

He's had some solid recruiting posts, but overall he is only interested in surfing, stocks, little bald men and boobs. Enough already.
