Mystery signature
- Thread starter McKinney
- Start date
"No, I am not Georges Niang."
I'm disappointed!
I played early '80s, maybe it ended just after my time OR perhaps only some schools were still doing it (i.e., small schools - I didn't pay attention to numerology outside of our area/conferences).
I'm sure someone more in-the-loop (ex-coaches, officials, sports historians, et al) would know or remember.
I think we played about the same time ('85 grad). I think probably some school districts still had older jerseys and continued the practice. I went to a school that was mid sized and we actually got brand new jerseys with our names on the back my sophomore year! I think it being a requirement went out much earlier."No, I am not Georges Niang."

Actually after some research this may have been a rule in some conferences because it appears it wasn't ever a statewide rule.

Thanks for the research, that info alone is useful. I wondered if it might be conference-by-conference thing.

“The case seemed to be closed, everyone went on with their lives for over two years…the sleepy bedroom community had all but forgotten about the mysterious signature…but then a stranger wandered in to town with a chilling story…a story that seemed all most too unbelievable to be true. Eyebrows were raised on Main St., ears perked up in the local bars…was the end really the end? Or was this just the beginning?”
I actually figured this out.
It's Sheron Dorsey Walker. If you look at the spelling you can see the "S" then it's a "D" and not pm then "W". Not sure why he signed it #40

Interesting reading in general.
I didn't realize (or had forgotten) that Iowa was first state to adopt 3-point line for HS.
I DO remember it being implemented - was my final season. (More on that later ... or not, depending if anyone is in a tl;dr mood
)
Awesome, I actually heard this in Keith Morrison's voice in my head as I read it.
Geez laweez. There are like 6 NBA guys on this roster only to get smoked by UVA in the Sweet 16. Helluva year that I will never forget tho.
If you think getting smoked by a #1 seed in the Sweet Sixteen was bad...
Six NBA guys --
BDJ
Nader
Niang
Mitrou-Long
Thomas
Morris
(+two good overseas players in Hogue and McKay)
Got smoked by a ****** #14 seed UAB in the FIRST round!
I try to forget that game…thanks a lot…If you think getting smoked by a #1 seed in the Sweet Sixteen was bad...

Surprised we had to play a #1 seed in the Sweet 16 with 6 nba guys on our team….we should’ve been a 1 or 2 seed with that much talent is all.
