Haha, corny title, I know. But just saw this on twitter:
Penn State football‏@psufootball
Number change and twitter handle change on same day RT @therealbill_1: Just changed my number. On 9/1/12 vs Ohio U. I will be wearing #1
Nice to see Belton will stick with us, AND, glad to see he's got a new # as well. I can now resurrect my old #1 white jersey!

I actually like him at number 5. He ran kind of like Reggie Bush, but 1 sounds good too.

Oh I liked him at #5 because of Larry Johnson.. I still have that old jersey, although I think my belly has gotten too big for it

It's kind of interesting that a lot of the younger guys keep getting #1 (aside from Sukay it has mostly been non-seniors). In HS, #1 is a really desired jersey that often goes to the best skill position upperclassmen. I wonder why Derek Moye didn't want the offensive #1 last year and same goes for Justin Brown this year.

People also grow towards their number as an identity. I doubt a lot want to switch numbers people have associated them with.

That's actually a great point. It's much different in college because they are on television all the time. In HS, switching your number means squat because few will know the difference. However, everybody knows these guys #'s at this point and many have it in their Twitter handles. It really does become an identity for a televised player.

Kinda like how #99 used to be at Berwick.

I thinks yes. I'm afraid we losing Silas to USC and Akeel to Iowa.
Bill is a very dynamic back with all kinds of big play potential as long as he protects the ball better when he's toting it.
we still have other good backs in the stable for change of pace.
I like all the Bill's we have on our team!
