Really never thought about it. Bama never has (that I'm aware of).

Nope and I like it that way.

USC has 7 retired numbers. Heisman winners it's a tradition of success.

If bama followed that formula what would they have Mark Ingram

Different strokes en sech. I don't care if other teams want to, just wouldn't be a big fan of Bama doing it.

Different traditions. SC players can wear retired numbers with permission from the former Heisman winner

Yup. Maybe y'all should retire all the numbers of the Heisman's teammates too, it's not like they won them all on their own.

I'll see if Tigerbait is up for a team vote.

Just another reason the Heisman should be given out after the bowls...

Exactly. He's good, but hardly worthy of his number retired.

Team sport. The trophy is a total joke to me. It's all about hype and nothing else.

As an Oregon Stater, I have to exclude myself from anything related to your university for obvious reasoning.

GL tho...Has any number EVER been retired at UO?

Not even Joe's?

These are all of OSU's:

#45 Archie Griffin (10/30/99)
#31 Vic Janowicz (9/23/00)
#40 Howard “Hopalong” Cassady (11/18/00)
#22 Leslie “Les” Horvath (10/6/01)
#27 Eddie George (11/10/01)
#47 “Chic” Harley (10/30/04)
WH Woody Hayes (9/10/05)
#99 Bill Willis (11/03/07)

Troy Smith's number 10 will not be retired. He is the only OSU Heisman winner to not have his number retired.

Joe was #12 and was used as recently as Greg McElroy in 2009/2010.

I'm surprised other teams retire them. I didn't think they really did that in college football.

I was just looking that info up on mgoblue.com. As far as Woodson goes I think he'll get his # retired but it'll happen sometime after his HOF career is over.

Didn't Garner wear #98? And he sort of soiled that jersey.
