In another thread we are discussing whether Carnell Williams should be called Cadillac. I nominate "Booger" McFarland to the LSU all-time nickname team. Who else should be listed?
I can't think of a better one for Football... but "Pistol Pete" had the best nickname of all the LSU players regardless of the type of sport.
The Dalton and James Gang with Dalton Hilliard and Garry James. The Soul Patrol defense. Devery "Miracle Man" Henderson (I made that one up but its appropriate. Maybe his teammates call him ESPY) Jack "Always in the" Hunt "Dark" Alley Broussard "Hundred Dollar Billy" Cannon Curley "Nyuck, Nyuck, Nyuck" Hallman Justin "Time" Vincent Sky "is not blue" Green Josh Booty "Call" Rohan "Crazy Davey and his Mission Men" (from a Bruce Springsteen song) Cecil "The Diesel" Collins" Shaquille "The Real Deal" O'Neal" Stromile "The race goes to the" Swift "Pistol" Pete Maravich Clarence "Hail" Caesar Shyrone "Cash and" Carey Howard "Hi C" Carter Dwayne "Astronaut" Scales Greg "Cookie Man" Cook Charlie "Horse" Alexander Warren "Walk Off" Morris Albert "Taco" Belle Todd "Tennessee" Walker OK, I had a Bermanesque moment and made most of these up. I'll be back when I think of some more.
Nacho wasn't his real name. I have seen it but I forget what his real name is. As great as he was I can't believe he never played in the NFL.
Ben "Big Mac" McDonald Zeph "ZZ Top" Zinsman Chris "Rock" Jackson Smoke Laval What is Smoke's given name? Warren "The Don of Defense" Capone Blaib "What the Heck" Bech Steve "Rolling" Stonebreaker (He didn't play for LSU but he did play for the Saints" Ronnie "Crude" Prude Matt "In Like" Flynn Eric Alexander "The Great" Travis "Jack" Daniels Kevin "Alka" Steltz Kirston "B. Howell" Pittman Benny "and the Jets" Wilkerson Steve "Peterbuilt" Peterman Dwayne Bowe "Tie" Marquise "King of the" Hill "Thumb" Tack Minor Regis "and Kelly" Koundjia Xavier "Mister" Whipple Brandon "Largemouth" Bass Kevin "I did it" Mawae
