It's just a personal thing, nothing against Catch22.
To an old timer like me, 33 bring back more memories of watching cowboys games with my dad. Also, 33 is Duane Thomas, my favorite Cowboy after watching my very first Cowboys game, SB VI.

Can't retire them all, lest they'll eventually run out of one digit and two digit numbers. :laugh:
I'm an "old timer" myself, which is why I think Bob Lilly is a no brainer in this. Watching Cowboy games with my dad in that same era is my background as well, so I get the fond memories and the affinity for that era.

Duane was a stud for the short time it lasted. He was part of the era when I first developed my love for the Cowboys. I can't say he overrides Dorsett in my mind, but I do view him as the original 33.

You probably know this, but the Cowboys aren't officially retiring any numbers, but there are a few that haven't been re-used

I’m a huge TD fan. Doesn’t Clark wear 33 now though?

The image of Bob Lilly tossing his helmet after the loss to GB and chasing down Bob Griese in SB VI are forever etched in my mine.

It was actually after the Super Bowl loss to the Colts that Lilly threw his helmet, but those are a couple of my most vivid memories from my early days as a Cowboy fan
