#7 has a far more meaningful significance.

Holloway
Grant
Miller
Parker

Just to name a few off top of my head

#44, 45, 50, 57 63 are others.

The Iceman?!?!?!

I feel like No. 1 is held in higher regard in basketball and hockey. Off the top of my head, Warren Moon is probably the best player in football to ever wear it with Cam Newton probably behind him. It’s not really a “go to” number for football in my eyes. As far as UT Football goes, Leonard Little, Jason Witten and Jayson Swain are probably the most memorable.

#1 in hockey is usually reserved for the starting goaltender. #30 and #31 are the other popular goalie numbers.

Isn’t number zero an eligible number now. No one took it?

Saw this on knox news.

No freshman will wear a No. 0 jersey. An NCAA rule change will allow players to wear zero as their uniform number this season. Tennessee has not announced who will be the first player in program history to wear that number.

I believe the numbers in the low 30's for goalies started with Terry Sawchuk. an interesting character.

So they should retire it for nobody ?

I think he was implying that since it wasn’t worn in 98 and we won a natty that it’s bad luck

I agree. Is that the "highest ranked" number in utfb history? That would be an interesting thread.

That would be fun.....Check the "Countdown" thread in FF. I'm kinda doing that now.

Al Wison and Hank Lauricella.
