Well hell, you got to believe in something I guess

LAWRENCE — This offseason, Kansas defensive backs Lubbock Smith and Greg Brown realized there was something missing from their games. As roommates at Jayhawker Towers, they had plenty of time to get to the bottom of it.

Turned out, the problem was simple. To have the careers they wanted at KU, they needed a new look. It was settled: Smith, a sophomore from Dallas, would ask to wear No. 1 instead of No. 13. Brown, also a sophomore from the Dallas area, would ask to wear No. 5 instead of No. 27.

"We talked about getting the single digits," Smith said. "To play up to our potential, we gotta change our numbers."

Well, there you have it.

"The single digit kind of brings more swag," Brown said. "You represent yourself with a single digit, you're saying that you're athletic."

I'm sure coach TG told them to ask Jesus to make them more athletic; but I guess they didn't buy into that.  :dunno:

"You represent yourself with a single digit, you're saying that you're athletic...and stupid...or both. "

WTF is going on in Lawrence?  Their entire ath dept is like some kind of sitcom. Single digits make you seem athletic?  JFC.  :facepalm:

Seems pretty smart if you ask me.  The weight of the extra digit might slow them down, and since these guys are defensive backs, well there ya go.
