Auburn football

If this has already been done, somebody nuke this thread and pretend it didn't happen.

Ground rules:

1) Starting from 1 and going to 99, list your favorite Auburn players to wear each number.

2) One number per post.

3) No back-to-back posts. You can't post your favorites for #4 and then do #5 right after it.

4) Once we get all the way to 99, we can start over.

5) To start over and do #1, you have to reply to the original post for the #1 and name a different player. Exceptions to this rule can be made for some retired numbers.

My next post will start the thread (thus violating the no back-to-back policy immediately, but only because this is the first instance).

#1 Chris Woods (1980 - 1983)

I remember him blocking way downfield -- particularly against Alabama -- for Bo Jackson.

#2-Ben Obamanu

Bouncing back from the Ole Miss game 2003, earned him MUCHO RESPECTO from the Rainman camp.

#3 - Al DelGreco PK

Won the '84 Sugar Bowl game with his 3 field goals.

#4 Chris Shelling Started at corner and safety

1994 LSU game he made 18 tackles and a

fumble recovery for a touchdown = SEC Player of the Week.

Didn't a pretty good safety also wear #4 in 2004? That would have been too easy.

#5 Fast Freddie Smith

(I think he wore #5. If I'm wrong, overrule me).

#6 Lionel James

One of the best running backs to wear the orange and blue, but was overshadowed literally and figuratively by some other guy who will no doubt be named later...

I never got to see him play in person but gotta be the first #7 named!

#8 Gabe Gross??

Didn't Gabe Gross wear #8?

#22. You're suggestion will be stricken from the record. As will this post, I suppose.

#8 Cooper Wallace

We can come back to Gabe Gross. I'm still looking for a site that has historical rosters so I can confirm some of the numbers I have in my mind.

[lukeduke 8]

I'm stumped on #9, so I'm going with Anthony Mix. At one point in his career, he wore #9.

#10 - Tray Blackmon

Although he has only played 1/2 of a season, I love the guy. If he keeps his nose clean, he may be one of the best we've had.

One of my favorite all time Tigers. Led the wishbone attack to the 1983 championship

Wasn't #15 Patrick Washington from the 1980s?

[Nay4AU 2]

Wasn't #15 Patrick Washington from the 1980s?

Pat was #10

[AUloggerhead 2,356]

#15 -- Prechae Rodriguez, AU's next go-to WR.

[abrnfanatc 6]

16 - Daymeune Craig

The best dual threat QB Auburn had until the next guy rolled into town.

[aumd03 2]

17 - Jason Campbell, one of the best comeback stories I've ever seen adn one of the most stand up guys I've seen.

#18 Alexander Wright

Receiver with world-class speed. Holds AU record of receiving yards and TDs in a game vs. Pacific in 1989. Had two key long receptions in AU's victory over UAT in 1989.

[AU! 0]

Future Star but officially listed on the roster...

#19 Neil Caudle

I can't wait to see who gets 23 tough choice ahead.
