I think you have to have a guy whose college jersey number corresponds to the number of days until college football season starts......or as the thread was started with 43....I think that's the number of mulligans seer took when we played golf......or was the number of beers I had?

Seriously though...

Quentin Coryatt was a man amongst boys until he got to the NFL where he was a boy amongst men. Still, one of the baddest mofos I've ever seen don an A&M jersey.

And I wouldn't be an Aggie homer unless I said Bucky Richardson.

Of course, if I were a texags.com homer, I would have said Reggie McNeal 2 years ago and McGee present day.

Best #40 for ND? Not sure if they were the best, but the Brooks brothers (Tony 88-91) and Reggie (1992) both wore the number. Reggie finished 5th in the Heisman.

Terry in Crapchester · Mon Jul 23, 2007 9:37 pm

43 - Bob Crable
42 - Mike Larkin/Jim Stone/Shane Walton/Michael Stonebreaker (seriously torn on this one, although Stonebreaker definitely merits a mention on anybody's all-time all-name team)
41 - Tony Brooks/Mike Goolsby
40 - Reggie Brooks/Terry Eurick

Yep. I didn't see your post before.

I included Terry Eurick at #40 because he was a tri-captain on the '77 national championship team (technically not a starter but saw plenty of action). I used Tony Brooks as #41 because that's the number listed to him at http://www.cstv.com/auto_pdf/p_hotos/s_ ... TimeRoster

Of course, that site lists only one number per player, and a lot of them switched numbers during their careers. IIRC, Tony Brooks wore three numbers during his ND career -- 20, 40 and 41.

Nice work, Rumple. Are you a PSU fan?

RumpleForeskin · Post by **RumpleForeskin** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 2:27 pm

They are my favorite Big 10 school. I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan, but I'll watch them over any other Big 10 school on Saturday mornings on ESPN.

University of Houston. But since I am not living in the days of Bill Yeoman, then I don't have much to cheer for on the big level, so I have teams I like to follow like Texas, ND, Oregon, and PSU. I have ties to all of those schools whether it be friends or family who attended those schools. I know this thread said post YOUR insititution' player, but since I hadn't seen Enis posted by anyone yet, I didn't see any harm in posting him myself. After all, I really enoyed watching him run.

Good takes, Rumple.

How about we give you your own forum? Maybe a support forum for dudes who married mastodons?

the numbers in the 30's are tough.

The only one that comes to mind is:

Michigan - PK - Adam Finley #39

It's better than not being able to put up players that no one has heard of before. There are only a few numbers of USF guys that would be remembered.

If you would just read the fucking thread, then you would understand we are not on #37 yet.

39 - Braxston Banks for career, Larry Moriarty for single season.

Where is the disconnect for you? Blind clearly said he doesn't remember any Michigan player with a number in the 30's. Either that, or some of us on the forum know one another and like to give the other shit.

Nice try, junior.

I was always a big fan of Benny Gilbeaux. I thought he was highly underrated.

After I posted it, I thought of Brandon Hoyte.

Btw, Guilbeaux is showing up as #2 at the site I'm using to identify players. But like I said, a lot of those guys switched numbers at some point in their careers.
