If somebody wants to wear 66, who do they ask?

Banks McFadden is the only other retired football number and I'm not sure if he has much family left to give permission.

Actually there are a lot of Banks McFadden family still around (four daughters) but since The Fridge already wore #66 at Clemson, it seems as if asking permission from the McFadden's at this point would be a bit late in coming. The late Steve Durham also wore #66 for the Tigers.

"Retiring" actual numbers eventually creates problems ... especially when we are recruiting several 5* guys every year, many of whom have expectations of a certain number in college. Sooner or late you run out of numbers.

but probably not like Spiller's. Feaster will have to share the ball with too many weapons to roll up huge amounts of yardage!

KO returns may be a harder number to match, and that put CJ way up there in all-purpose yards.

Our O-line during Spiller's freshmen year was actually pretty da** good. The only problem was teams started loading the box because they realized Will Proctor couldn't pass.

Reading this gave me chills.
As a student, My first game was in 2009. I was an avid NFL fan, but had never experienced college football in the south. At that game, Spiller took it to the house first play from scrimmage in 09.

Feaster will do that number proud.

CJ always speaks highly of Clemson and his character always comes through in what he says, but that right there was the BEST quotes I think I've ever read from a Clemson alumni.

Not a big fan of asking Spiller to un-retire his number.
Jul 25, 2016, 5:39 PM

It puts Spiller in an awkward spot. Retiring a number should be like a verbal commitment from a recruit. Either do it and mean it...or don't at all.
I don't think players like CJ Spiller should be burdened with feeling like he needs to help the program by giving his number to a high-schooler. He loves Clemson so much he went against his desire to save it for his son. Spiller is one of the best men ever to be a Clemson Tiger.

my use of the word "burdened" had to do with CJ's innate kindness and love for Clemson. Good people carry their own burden, even if others are not pushy.
The situation itself is a burden. He may wish to retain the number for his child, but his loyalty to Clemson provided the burden to give up his number. I would rather follow a policy of either never retiring numbers or never asking players to give up retired numbers.

Or we will ever have. Love his maturity and humility to be so talented.
He knows from where his help/talent and blessings come from and he allows the Lord to be his Guide in everything.
CJ has issues and fails like the rest of us but his ability to grow and become better is incredible.
Thank you CJ, can't explain how thankful we are for you and all you do for us and Clemson.

In the -06 GT game when CJ bust that ine right up the middle, I was standing by Billy Davis, to my right, and I saw the hole open up and I said,"He's Gone! And he's coming right to us!!". I pointed to CJ about the time he hit the 20 and he saw me and pointed right back at me.

CJ Spiller was the best and still is Family

Watching CJ get the ball on a circle route and going the distance in Miami was incredible. Winning in OT with Jacoby was awesome. CJ was like H. Walker getting the ball and holding your breath. I watched both and loved the way they ran the ball. If Tavian can be the player CJ is, then he can be proud to wear number 28. He needs to remember that CJ represents the best of Clemson on and off the field. Family is forever so make us proud.

CJ is the epitome of a Clemson man. Man I love that guy. I sure hope he has a spot reserved within the program when his playing days are over. A lot of former players speak well about their former schools but CJ truly loves Clemson like we all do and there's no greater feeling to me than that.

Jersey remember the Greats similar to Ribbons
Jul 26, 2016, 11:25 AM

Keeping with Clemsons Military Heratage numbers like 66, 4 and 28 among other what if they started having military like ribbons on the left chest remembering the greats who earned the retirment of that number. From now on when we see 4 we will not only think of Fuller but also Watson. the ribbons could emulate the center strip on the helmet with "Fuller 75-78" "Watson 14 - 16"
