Smith72 Moderator No. 1 Share Posted 9 hours ago So far Oregon does not retire any athlete's number. Should Oregon Ducks Retire Quarterback Marcus Mariota's Jersey Number? WWW.SI.COM One of the hottest topics during the college football offseason surrounds jersey number retirement. Over the weekend, Colorado... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 2 Share Posted 7 hours ago Thanks, Smitty. It's fun to ponder. If the threshold is winning the Heisman, then I say, 'Yes.' Travis Hunter having his # retired at CU? Fine. Shedeur and not Kordell Stewart? In Shedeur's case, I have to ask the nepotism question. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie No. 3 Share Posted 6 hours ago I think Oregon should continue with the tradition of not retiring a player's number. There's a display of his Heisman Trophy in the H-D complex. Fans can see it, touch it, take pictures of it/with it. I think that's a better tribute than retiring his number. 1 1 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JabbaNoBargain No. 4 Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) Do what we do, it’s fine. Ditto CU. If they’re into retiring the number of a 2 year QB that led them to a 9-4 year his senior year with an Alamo Bowl loss, by all means, tell the world how good you are.

30Duck Moderator No. 5 Share Posted 4 hours ago No.8 has looked good on Mariota and Gabriel, Herbert and Nix both did great with No.10. During the start of the 20-21 basketball season a transfer, LJ Figueroa wore No.30. I didn't think that looked right. Later he switched to No.12. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sousa No. 6 Share Posted 3 hours ago "No" to retiring any number. If we retire Mariota's number there are a couple others in the history of the Ducks we should retire. There are only 10 single digit numbers available, 0-9, and they are highly coveted by the players. What are we going to do after we retire half of them??? Ducks sports is just beginning to take off. There will be a lot more worthy "retirees" in the future. Let's just keep it simple. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanLduck No. 7 Share Posted 3 hours ago A big NO. Every time I see someone wearing #8, it reminds me of Marcus and brings a big smile to my face. Same with the numbers #21 or #24. I think of the other great RB's that wore those numbers. I think it's a greater honor for someone to wear "Marcus' #" than to retire it. C'mon, we are all laughing at Colorado. Let's not copy them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kamikaze Kid Moderator No. 8 Share Posted 2 hours ago Retiring football numbers doesn't seem realistic with how many players are on a team. But the real answer is there is absolutely no reason for OBD to mimic anything being put forth by the Colorado clown show. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Moderator No. 9 Share Posted 2 hours ago USC has No.55 for a stud linebacker, Micah Parsons was No.11 at Penn State, last season it was Abdul Carter. Honor the player with the number.
