Most famous/popular/synonymous Sooner number?

[8timechamps]

I was reading an article about how some numbers are considered "the" number in certain cities (i.e. 7 in Denver, 23 in Chicago, etc.), and it got me thinking about what the most popular (or famous) number relates to the Sooners.

For me, it's always been 44. But, I don't think that number would be the most identified with the Sooners, so I thought I would ask the question:

What number do you consider synonymous with the Sooners?

20

It changes form year to year. That's why we don't retire numbers at OU.

[8timechamps]

20

That's what I figured would be the most synonymous.

Most programs don't retire numbers, especially in the NCAA. I know that the popularity of numbers change with the players, but everyone has one number that they relate to the Sooners.

It don't matter what number they wear. Its the interlocking OU on that crimson helmet that makes us puff our chests out and scares the s*** out of visitors.

#1 for $10,000 please.

20

+1

This is the one, IMHO.

[Big D Sooner]

For my generation it has been 14

#20 for me for Sims. I remember when Dupree came in I couldn't believe he wasn't #20. I thought all great RB's would be #20.

[Salt City Sooner]

Sims, Tillman, Calmus, Earnest Williams, oh, wait......

[Jack T.]

44 for me as well.

#1 for $10,000 please.

44

The correct answer is 1.

i can't go with 44 - only one all american with that jersey #

and i dont think Bosworth is THE face of the history of the program

i'd tend to lean to #20 but i'm not even completely sold on that one

[Blue]

44 for me too.

if so inclined - do a jersey # search - you can see who all wore whatever number

kinda cool

[Jdog]

My lottery #s are 4-11-14-20-24-36 or 44 or 30.

93 would not be a bad choice if you were going to have one. Selmon, McCoy, Liggins. If Casillas hadn't been one off at 92 that number would probably be cemented.

Actually, 1 would be pretty good. J.C. Watts, Danny and Mark Bradley, Tony Jefferson. 20 and 14 are both solid as well. And don't forget 88.

This is a thread we've done before... I think I'll start another we've done before....
