By The Numbers

Seeing the news about Ocho Cinco and the love of his jersey number got me thinking about the Cougar jerseys worn over the years. Whether you are young or old everyone at one point or another has a favorite jersey number. To most of us who have worn a jersey regardless of what level (peewee, middle school, high school, collegiate, etc) or what sport those numbers chosen typically are personal whether it is a favorite number, the year you were born, or that someone else wore those digits. With having a rather rich tradition there have been hundreds of Cougars to wear the blue and white jerseys. In case you've ever been curious who wore "your" jersey number below is a somewhat in depth compiled list.
