Same here. Darrell "Flash" Gordon is the best of an unimpressive lot.

Going back to 39, I should have included Anthony Denman. And for purely personal reasons, I'll throw in Dave Machtolf (RIP), even though he never got higher than third-string on the depth chart.

The only one that comes to mind is:

Michigan - PK - Adam Finley #39
#37 Grant Irons?

Ok..now Jerratt Irons.

Terry in Crapchester · Thu Jul 26, 2007 5:17 pm

Killian already listed Grant Irons at 37. The site I'm using has him listed at 44, but he may have switched numbers.

Of the players listed at 37 on the site I'm using, I'll take Scott Kowalkowski (recipient of a headbutt from Todd Marinovich in the '89 ND-USC game which fired up ND and led to an ND comeback). Honorable mention: Rick Naylor.

Killian got his Irons confused.

Grant Irons played at Notre Dame right?

Jarrett Irons wore 37 for Michigan during the National Championship season.

RumpleForeskin · Post by **RumpleForeskin** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 5:45 pm

Both McCullough boys which was one of our biggest rivals in High School. I remember Grant more than Jarrett, but McCullough use to ware us the fuck out anytime we played against them. Score was usually 57-14 or some shit like that.

Terry in Crapchester · Thu Jul 26, 2007 9:11 pm

Blind Ref,

Yeah, Grant played at ND.

I seem to recall him wearing #44, and that's the way he's listed on the website I'm referencing. He might have worn #37 for awhile as well, though. It would make sense, since that's the number his older brother wore at Michigan.

GrizBearStare · Post by **GrizBearStare** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 9:14 pm

The number #37 is our legacy number - when the senior wearing the #37 graduates, he passes it on to the underclassman of his choice. The only criterion is that the player must hail from the state of Montana. The best ever to wear it would probably have to be former UM and NFL safety Tim Hauck. Hauck is now a UM secondary coach and is also the brother of head coach Bobby Hauck.

Hauck would be known to people as the guy who, as a safety for the Eagles in '99, tackled Irvin on the play that ended Irvin's career.

I forgot we got the pussy brother and mixed up Grant and Jarrett. Jarrett was who I was going after. Kolo is the #37 I would put up there. Besides being an all around cool guy, he's from my high school. Only guy we've put on ND's football team.

Terry in Crapchester · Fri Jul 27, 2007 12:56 pm

36 - Another brutal number for us. I'll go with Tom Lopienski.

SoCalTrjn · Post by **SoCalTrjn** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 8:06 am

35- Scott Ross edges out the Papadakis brothers

Terry in Crapchester · Sat Jul 28, 2007 9:41 am

35 - Mark Brooks/Ryan Mihalko as the best of another rather unimpressive bunch.

34- Ricky Ervins

Killian · Post by **Killian** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 3:10 pm

#36 I would say Don Grimm, LB from the late '80's-early '90's.
#35 is pretty brutal. Ryan Mihalko it is.
#34 is a pretty strong number. Ray Zellers and Vontez Duff to name a couple

I went with Lopienski at 36, Grimm would have been my second choice.

Good choices on 34, although I'd also include Wes Pritchett and Dave Waymer.

33 - Jim Browner. Honorable mention: Courtney Watson.

Killian · Post by **Killian** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 7:15 pm

Totally forgot about Pritchett at #34. Great call.

#33 I like Watson. Greg Lane would be a fit here as well.
#32 doesn't have a lot of great players for a tradition rich number. I'm drawing a blank.

Terry in Crapchester · Mon Jul 30, 2007 7:18 pm

Are we on 32 yet? I didn't think so, but ND has some tradition at that number, although you have to go back a little ways:

Johnny Lujack (Heisman Trophy winner)
Harry Stuhldreher (QB in Four Horsemen backfield)
Vagas Ferguson (starting TB on '77 national championship team, ND's all-time leading rusher for awhile, subsequently eclipsed by Allen Pinkett who was later beaten by Autry Denson).
