FOUR DUCKS TO TRANSFER

by Stranko on Jul 6, 2006 9:42 AM EDT

Citing complaints about a lack of playing time, four Oregon football players intend to transfer. Given that these guys barely cracked the lineup, the effect on the Ducks on the field should be minimal. However, Oregon loses a contender for the EDSBS All-Name Team as a result as defensive lineman Thor Pili joins running back Terrell Jackson, linebacker Tucker Callahan and offensive lineman Levi Horn in the decisions to transfer. It is always tough on a teams mystique to lose a D-lineman named Thor.

Rumor has it the players transferring didn’t like the new unis color-scheme. They didn’t find them flashy enough.

Thor……. good name for a child, boy or girl. Sets the bar high.

Thor…Great name

I have some friends who named their son Magnus. Apparently they were baby making while Brent Musberger was narrating the Franco Columbo and Magnus Magnusson battle in the world’s strongest man contest.

I’m glad my parents didn’t do that. I would have ended up being named “Liebfraumilich”.

All time best is Brad Johnson, quarterback @ Minn, talking his wife in the middle of labor to name their son Maximus…..Maximus Johnson.

That makes me think of the tow truck guy in Adventures in Babysitting, who looks a bit like the Florida Fabio who’s picture is above. It’s all full circle.
