Starting DE, from Montana, carrying a 4.0 in Chemistry?

Yeah, he should be able to handle it. :lol: :clap: :clap:
 
Typically it goes to an underclassmen, so Tucker looks like a good possibility.

Wags said today that he has a little stress about it, that it's a huge deal, and he doesn't know who he is going to give it to yet.

Carson Bender in 2008 was the last underclass man to get it. Featherston got it in '11 as a Sr. Tripp got it in '12 as a Jr and he gave it to Wags.

It was a pretty simple question, has anyone ever been handed the 37 but decided not to wear it because they like their own number. I don't think anyone would, but you never know.

I used the adverb, "typically".

I'm old school, I go back to the original recipients of the #37, Tim Hauck and then Todd Ericson; who were underclassmen.

"I talked to Coach Paulson and he just said, ‘You know, it's up to you,' " said Utterback. "I had lots of easy choices: Colt Anderson would've been an easy choice, but he only had two years left. Shann Schillinger would've been good. But Carson Bender (underclassen) had been working really hard and had a lot of potential."

Can you imagine? Turning down 37 would be very close to treason. It may be the coolest tradition we have (right up there with beating the cats). I just can't see this ever happening. It's such a huge honor for the recipient.
 
Even Tripp was considered for the #37 as an underclassmen, but it was well known that he was wearing #44 in honor of his dad...
