the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection

I like my numbers NFL style

WRs numbered 22 bug me. Yes, I know about Desmond. Linebackers with numbers in the 30s and 40s (or 4???) don't get me excited either.

There seems to be a lot more
There seems to be a lot more
There seems to be a lot more doubling up on numbers than before. I understand if the two people who have the same number are on opposite sides on the ball there is no issue, but that isn't always the case. Biggest foreseen problem: Marell Evans and Boubicar both are #33. They could likely both be on the field at the same time, but not if they are both 33. Plus they are both young, so I would expect one of them to change their number next year or the year after, especially if they are both starters.

Agreed
Agreed
Maybe there will be some number swapping from some of the upperclassmen? Some notable double-ups if the above numbers are correct: 4 - 'Spoon & Minor; 5 - Feagin & Stewart; 12 - Floyd & Cone. (& 33 - Evans & Cissoko, as noted by WolvinLA)

In college, kids get pretty
In college, kids get pretty
In college, kids get pretty much any number they want. So I don't really pay attention to "WR's should wear #'s in the 80's" stuff. Also, players change position in college - Alan Branch went from a TE to a DL, hence the number in the 80's. Mamarr Woodley went from LB to DE, hence the 56.

I've heard Boubacar Cissoko is taking #2 not 33.

It is not absurdly uncommon
It is not absurdly uncommon
It is not absurdly uncommon for defensive and offensive players to share a number.
The only one that I see being a potential conflict is the one WolvinLA highlighted.

Dude...#4 for a linebacker is

Dude...#4 for a linebacker is about as badass as it gets, imo.

in recent history, wasn't #2 one of those numbers you kind of had to earn, usually worn by a defensive guy?

yeah Marell Evans is now #9. This fixes the issue with Cissoko but most importantly, Marell can now run with the single digit LB crowd
