This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

21 .. and Other Favorite Uniform Numbers. What's Yours? by dillon77

I've noticed that both Alli Campbell and Nat Marshall wear #21 in high school; perhaps yet another reason they seem to get along well.

So I was wondering who would get to wear that number at ND, until I went to the Roster site for this year's team and saw that Anaya Peoples has #21. So three of next year's roster was a "21" fan.

Wonder what numbers Alli and Nat will end up choosing.

So, what were/are your favorite numnbers - if any -- to wear or admire and why?

I'll start off:

My favorite number initially was "24," in part because I was a huge Bill Bradley fan when he was on the Knicks. But "24" was a pretty popular number around that time, held be Bradley and Willie Mays among others.
Upperclassmen snapped it up.

So I flipped it to "42," which I later found out was Bradley's number at Princeton. I've worn it thoughout college, corporate and adult leagues.

I've put a link into famous 42's. Amoung the most notable: Jackie Robinson, Mariano Rivera, Ronnie Lott and -- in college basketball -- Brittany Griner.

Anyone else?
