ALL-NAME TEAM GETS TREMENDOUS ENTRY

Prichard, AL – where only the street savvy dare to enter.

Momma Freek thinks adjectives for names are tremendous.

I still think Lucious Pusey wins the All-time name award.

If I’m not mistaken, Vigor was the high school that gave “The Snake” his start.

I cannot tell you the joy I felt upon finding that UAB was on this kid’s shortlist. We’ve been hurting for name-related prestige ever since Reprobatus Bibb got kicked off the basketball team, but Tremendous may be just what we need to rejoin the ranks of the elite.

Great name, but Lucious Pusey definitely blows Tremendous away. Said gahdamn.

Lemogello and Orangello are from Anniston, AL it’s not a myth.

You should check out his brother, Stupendous, on the JV squad.

The first tremendous “no star” recruit to date.

Prothro’s Good Leg, you do realize that Lemonjello/Orangejello have been reported as attending every school in America, don’t you?

My mom used to teach at that high school. I can’t tell you how rough that place is. When someone in Prichard names their kid “Temendous,” that means something.

Fun fact: they were the 1985 National High School Football Champs, per ESPN or something like that.

What are the odds that he’s wearing a band aid because Quinterrius smacked him around? 5 – 1, right?

There used to be a prospect in the Braves system named “Wonderful Terrific Monds” – Is it possible he’s twice as good as Tremendous? Does anyone have a superlative conversion chart nearby?

Snake played for Foley HS, as did Student Senator Julio Jones.

I still vote for Baskerville Holmes as the all-time sports real name. But, if Pussy Galore married Lucious Pusey, she would be Pussy Galore Pusey, a nice redundancy brought to you by your Department of Redundancy Department.

Those of you impressed by these names have clearly never worked in child support enforcement. You, my dear friends, are seeing the names after they have been filtered through the categories of MALE and ATHLETICALLY GIFTED.

There are so so many more out there.

And they’re all looking for a check.

The Bailey boys are feeling a little dull today.

Also, pulling out Rodger Dodger as the most noteworthy Campbell Scott film? Your jib? The cut is nice.

Someday there should be an all-name discussion around school names.

My nominee – the old Cincinnati Academy of Physical Education.

Gym class all day long.

Its true Foley gave Snake his start, along with Julio and Dj. Now Vigor was the defacto Parade National Champs in 1988, which they won the state championship for Alabama for 1988 and 1989. They also produced several Div 1 prospects on both sides of the ball off of that team. When it was Vigor getting all the talent back then, they were dominant in putting players in colleges and the NFL. Willie Anderson, who played left tackle for the Bengals and Auburn for a long time, is another Vigor alum. Then they got accused of “recruiting like Div 1 Farm league” and they rezoned the area and it seems the athletes go where the most talent is by staying with the endless amounts of relatives that are seemingly spread throught the 36606, 36607, 36610, 36605, 36617 area codes, predominately poorer black neighborhoods. 36695, 36693, 36608, 36619 36609 is basically the other schools in the more upper whiter schools, with St. Pauls and UMS-Wright being the private schools that can recruit via scholarships……Right after that, you had Blount high school step up with Sherman Williams, then Williamson with Tee Martin, and now, its as if Vigors been watered down with fragments of the talent pool it used to have. South Alabama has alot of talent, and when Auburn could dominate it, they did. Now you look at the roster and its filled with many of southern Alabamas best talent and best names. I think Tremendous is a top 5 All Name pick since you cant make this shit up. Kinda puts pressure on the kid, but I guess its better than naming him Octogenarian Loser Johnson, Jr.

As a fan of the team that Vigor beat the shit out of to win the 2008 5A State Championship, the talent is back. I remain convinced that this year’s Vigor team coulda hung with Prattville.

This is why Orson makes the big bucks, people. He could have gone with the easy Singles reference, noting that the young man “lives his life like a French movie.”

But no, Orson reaches into the archives for an under-appreciated indie film. The only thing that could top it is an LSUFreek special, with Tremendous waving a woman’s scarf in the doorman’s face and shouting “Don’t you get it? I’m her BOY, dammit!”
