LSU GOT THE NAMES, SON
Ragin Cajun emails us and points us to a collection of names in LSU’s 2009 recruiting class that, if all landed, will destroy any and all standards for All-Name team selection.
–Abrecus Martinez
–Barkevious Mingo
–Harry Peoples (who actually shaves his head)
–Ky’Var Bolden
–Shavodrick Beaver
–Shaquelle Evans and a
–Shakeil Lucas
–Marjarvin Chapmen
The official EDSBS editorial position is that we encourage all of these recruits, no matter the damage to our own team or others, to immediately commit to LSU. This simply must happen. Barkevious Mingo? A villain from Tank Girl or prize recruit? You decide.

Coop, I still thank Danny Ford for putting Clemson on probation (no tv coverage)….sold my ‘82 tickets for enough to cover 2 months rent.
A real blessing at that time.

How about George Achica from USCw in the early 80s? My oldest daughter was 6 at the time, and when she heard his name she thought they said “Georgia Chicken”, to which she replied, “I thought Georgia were Bulldogs & South Carolina were chikins.”
Best ever? Atomic Torozian, SDSU.
Mike Hunt is alive and well in Starksville this spring.

LSU has obviously decided it has so much talent it can just give out scholarship offers to whoever has the coolest name.

#22 I was told that Oprah’s name came about due to that very fact. Her mother couldn’t spell the name of some woman from the bible with a similiar name. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpah
Another great “where the fuck did you get that name from?” story was from my old college roomate’s mom. She worked in the intensive care section of an Atlanta hospital. According to her, there was a baby named “Busephame” ‘cuz, the mother said, “everyone in my family had great hair, Busephame.”

Brian @ 24: My mom works in the NICU at [the largest baby hospital in Atlanta]. She recently took care of some twins whose last name was “Estes.”
One’s name was “Tess,” the other was “Tamara.”
Yep, their name was “T. Estes.”

DeQuinta Jones

We would need the scholarship limit raised to 40 to try to get all of these names.

The all time best couples names my company made a loan to were Harry and Rosie Butts of Spokane, Washington. Closely followed by Mi Suk Yu of Federal Way, Washington, and Royal Dickgeyser of Seattle – his job..”first class seaman” with the merchant marine.
I couldn’t possibly make these up…they are real names and real people, though Harry and Rosie may have passed by now.
