Jonah Pirsig

I remember how excited Kill was when he committed. It turned out he had good reason

Jonah Pirsig

I believe Jonah is back in Blue Earth working on a farm and owns a bar and grill there.

Average Jo's, I might have to stop there next time I drive through town.

Pirsig and Blaise Andries are similar to me, both had a number of great offers but decided to stay home. I'm surprised neither could stick in the NFL.

78 days

Ashton Beers

Daniel Faalele

Bobby Bell

Garrison Wright

 

[fmlizard]

I thought 78 was retired for Bobby Bell, and I suppose I never noticed it hiding in plain sight on the backs of some very large men in recent years.

What's the story here? Nagurski (72), Smith (54) and Giel (10) don't seem to be issued, but Sandy Stephens (15) and Bobby Bell (78) still are.

Are some numbers more retired than others?

Here's No. 78 Faalele scoring the first touchdown in Minnesota's Guaranteed Rate Bowl victory over West Virginia

Average Jo's, I might have to stop there next time I drive through town.

Guessing he's pretty hard to miss behind the bar...

 

[PMWinSTP]

Here's No. 78 Faalele scoring the first touchdown in Minnesota's Guaranteed Rate Bowl victory over West Virginia

He basically pops 60 into the endzone. LBs on WV must have been thinking "Oh, Sh*t..."

Bronko Nagurski

 

[IceBoxGopher]

Video about Bronko Nagurski. Covers his NFL career but still interesting

 

[fmlizard]

I'll re-ask my question about why Nagurski, Smith, and Giel numbers are actually retired from issuance, and Sandy Stephens and Bobby Bell are retired but still issued. Anyone know?
