I was on a flight from Miami yesterday and a guy wearing all LSU gear with a bag that had the number 20 on it. I spent the whole flight to out who the young man was only to get home and realize that 20 is not assigned to anyone.
Can anyone shed some light on who the kid might be?

Billy Cannon wore 20. The number has been retired. I would guess the young man was honoring a LSU great.

oooooooo.....I forgot that.

I didn't see the number, my ole lady did. I wonder if she read it wrong?

He was either wearing it in honor of Cannon or he is very old and remembers players from before 1957.

Remember, his jersey wasn't retired until the early 80's.


Edit to add....
Billy Cannon Sign Unveiled at Tiger Stadium - LSUsports.net - The Official Web Site of LSU Tigers Athletics

maybe Jordy Snikeris? he's listed as #20 for the baseball team this season, but he's from Texas

:dis:

Looking back, that would be right.

Also looking back, two great RBs born in the same town.
