COOLEST NAME IN FOOTBALL!!!!

[fossil]

I rarely start a new thread, but since it is kinda slow right now until OUr bowl game, I wanna know your candidate for the coolest name in football. I've heard a lot during all my years of TV viewing of football, but never have I heard one I think is cooler than PLAXICO.

I'd like to hear your nomination for COLLEST NAME EVAR!!!!

Oh yeah, Merry Christmas to all!!

[AllAboutThe'O']

Craphonso (Thorpe)...semenole WR a few yrs ago
DeCody Fagg, also a Seminole WR of current vintage.

[fossil]

Hey, there used to be some guy who played for Iowa State a few years who had a super cool name, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. Somebody hep me!!

[The Maestro]

I cannot remember the spelling, but gotta stick with...and I am guessing at the strange spelling...

Kokayne Mothershed.

Or the Fagg guy at FSU.

[KantoSooner]

Game over, man, game over!

Maestro wins.

[Rogue]

I always rooted for Tennessee's starting QB to get hurt just a little so that JIM BOB COOTER could take a few snaps.

And, I gotta admit, Limas Sweed is a pretty cool sounding name.

[SoonerBOI]

Knowshon Moreno - UGA

Tez Doolittle, Auburn

Keith Toogood, Texas Tech

Ryan Allgood, Oklahoma

Nick Bigrigg, Kent State

Hunter Teafatiller, Nebraska

Romeen Abdollmohammadi, Washington State

Max Opamuratawongse, Wake Forest

[TopDawg]

I always liked the name Bobby Purify.

[XingTheRubicon]

PLAXICO.



and isn't it pronounced Plexico...

If someone had the gall to alter the pronunciation of a name that weird, I'd just call him Dave.

[TopDawg]

It's probably properly pronounced "Plaxico" (try saying that 5 times fast) but lazily gets transformed to "plex".

[AllAboutThe'O']

Let's dig a little deeper in the past here folks....

Elvis Peacock

I.M. Hipp

Johnny "Lam" Jones and A.J. "Jam" Jones, former Longhorns

Ish Ordonez, former Arkansas placekicker

Nacho Albergamo, former LSU offensive lineman

Karim Abdul-Jabbar, former Miami Dolphin RB who also played at the alma mater of the "other" Abdul-Jabbar, UCLA.

[Desert Sapper]

Some from this year:

Richie Rich - UNC
Joe Jon Finley - OU
Captain Munnerlyn - South Carolina
Chris Baloney - ASU
J Leman - Illinois


and I agree that Jim Bob Cooter is the bestest name in all of sports evah.

[Desert Sapper]

John David Booty - heh

[birddog]

amp lee. fla.st, early 90's.

[Partial Qualifier]

Buster Rhymes ?? C'mon people.

[Desert Sapper]

Anybody with more than two names mentioned:

ie; John Parker Wilson

T-Bob Hebert (not sure if that counts or not)

Rey Rey McElrathbey

Adrian Aye-Darko

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

I think Plaxico is the silliest, funniest name, too. Shirley, there must be a good reason for his parents to do that to him.

[AllAboutThe'O']

I also remember Kirby Dar Dar, receiver and return specialist from Syracuse in the early '90s.

[tdsooner1321]

I liked Chijioke Onyenegecha

I defy you effin' hillbillies to pronounce the name of the current Navy starting QB:

he changed his name to Lucius Seymour (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1205061football1.html):


We were reading Deadspin (http://www.deadspin.com/sports/college-football/you-say-seymour-we-say-pusey-lets-call-the-whole-thing-off-219327.php) this morning when we first learned of the existence of Lucius Seymour, a football player at Eastern Illinois University. Seymour, a 22-year-old Floridian, is of note because of his unfortunate former name, which was wiped away last year via a legal petition filed in Palm Beach County's Circuit Court. A copy of Seymour's name change application, which was approved last July, can be found below. In an e-mail yesterday to Deadspin, Seymour takes issue with a prior post that made light of his former handle, Lucius Pusey. "When i make it to the league i willshoot a middle finger at yall and say **** all my haters," Seymour wrote. "I am the realest."

[AlbqSooner]

In 1975 I attended a Tulsa game. I think the opponent was Cincinatti but that may not be right. They had a wide receiver named E. Pluribus Napoleon.

[tdsooner1321]

So did you google the name or go to soonersports.com to find the spelling? ;)

Haha, googled it..

[yur-out]

Gentlemen pleeeease (Oh!, and ladies:D),
The topic is coolest, not strangest or whatever.
THE coolest football name by far is ....... TRRW!! Every time I hear that name I think of the superman play and it DOSEN'T get any cooler than that.

[KantoSooner]

'Superman' was a cool play, but, for sheer fun, there is nothing that will ever surpass the look on the UT player's faces this year when they were already signaling 'Touchdown!' and realized that Lofton had stripped the ball two yards shy.
You could see the air go out of them and you just knew they had begun to die inside.
Sooner magic.

That said, if you want a cool 'football' name, none comes much more 'manly' than:

Leroy Selmon

[matt0104]

alright i got one that nobody can beat.
A few years back my stepdad had a baseball card he found of a minor league player and his name was Wonderful Terrific Monds. No lie.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Wonderful_Monds

un-coolest name... Major Applewhite.

All the cool names are taken.

[sanantoniosooner]

I wish I could provide a vid of it.

[AllAboutThe'O']

WT Monds III played in the braves organization for a few years, being from Ga. I knew of him but didn't think of posting his name.

Wonderful Terrific Monds III - Yes, the THIRD. Wonder Monds, for short, had bounced around the minors for several years. Rumor has it, Wonder's great-grandfather, after 11 straight daughters, had his first son and exclaimed, "This is wonderful. This is terrific."
