#31 - Conlan, Collins and Pozlusny. Not bad.

But not the STICKS. .

 

[BobPSU92]

One of my favorite PSU players of all time. He did it the right way, back when the right way mattered.

1 of, if not my favorite Penn Stater of all-time. He exemplifies Success with Honor.

But not the STICKS. .

Shane Conlan wore the same number, not too shabby.

Shane Conlan wore the same number, not too shabby.

So did Andre Collins, who was not too bad either.

I understand the sentiment about the number 11; however, I think #31 is more indicative of linebacker excellence.

Case for #31:

Andre Collins made 1st-team All-American as a senior.
Posluszny made 1st-team All-American as both a junior and a senior.
Conlan made 1st-team All-American as both a junior and a senior.

Case for #11:

Arrington made 1st-team All-American as both a junior and a senior.
Parsons made 1st-team All-American as a senior.
Bowman did not make any 1st-team All-American lists.

Perhaps the "double sticks" moniker is more flashy, but it's tough to say the LBs who wore it exceeded the play of those who wore #31. And the arguably 2 best linebackers to ever don the vanilla whites (Dennis Onkotz and Jack Ham) wore neither (35 and 33 respectively).

Don't mean to start a debate, just an old guy's opinion. Heck my favorite player's number (68) is basically an afterthought today, so I'm not really attached to a player's jersey #.
