When you think of jersey numbers, do you default to more recent players

or players from when you were a kid? Weird question I know. Sometimes if I can't fall asleep I'll just start at #1 and go on up recalling players that wore each jersey number. You'd think that recency would take precedent but almost without fail just about every knee-jerk, automatic, instantaneous response is a player from the early Richt days. I was in early high school as Richt began so that was a magical time for my fandom. You're old enough to really be into it and know what's going on, but still young enough that the players are older than you so you look up to them. My lists always start the same way: Reggie brown, Demario Minter, DJ, Kentrell Curry, CJ Byrd, etc...

Just curious how other people's brains work in that regard.

I'm the same way. And I suspect we are the same age, because I think of the exact same players. Boss, Champ, Fred Gibson....

For some unknown reason I revert to my teens and early 20s. #42 is Tony Gilbert and Champ Bailey, etc.

The jersey countdown thread should be starting up pretty soon.
