Are there any LSU jersey numbers that you still see that you say, "Ah, that's 'so and so's' number." Kind of like people associate the number 23 in basketball to Michael Jordan. Now I know LSU doesn't have a Michael Jordan, and the numbers are only worn for 4 years and then given to someone else. Here is who I got though.

#3 - Kevin Faulk - This one is easy and obvious. That number in purple and gold just screams out Kevin Faulk.

#14 - Herb Tyler - He wasn't our greatest QB, but I loved the guy. Could run, and always seemed to wiggle out of trouble and make a big throw. I'm not saying he's an all-time great QB but when I see that number I always think Herb Tyler.

#2 - Eddie Kennison - One of my favorite LSU players of all time. Good WR and hearing the crowd screaming "Eddie, Eddie" on punt returns still sends chills.

#7 - Patrick Peterson - Before these past few years that number 7 still stood out, but it was for Trev Faulk. Peterson changed that in his three years though. I don't see that #7 ever sticking with another player like PP7.

Who else you got?

No one can replace the "Dirty Thirty".

I agree with each that you have posted. I believe most Tiger fans harbor similar associations for those numbers. Personally, I have an idiosyncatic tendency to envision LaBrandon Toefield every time I see #22. I have no idea why. I suppose his run against Tennessee in 2001 is forever etched into my memory.

That's because you're young. 7 will always be Bert Jones first. 21 is Dalton Hiliard.

I actually associate #23 to Pete Maravich at LSU, rather than to Michael Jordan.

Others:

20 - Billy Cannon
37 - Tommy Casanova
7 - Bert Jones
48 - Brad Davis
30 - Norm Hodgins
80 - Andy Hamilton
1 - Brandon Lafell

Yeah, I'm a bit old school.
