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.

i mean those names are impressive and everything…but have you really watched tank girl???

I think their parents need to stop smoking so much PCP when they name their kids.

Shavadick Beaver? Is that some kind of backcountry vagina dentata?
Oh, Shavodrick Beaver. Never mind.

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.

Back in 1988 LSU had a linebacker named Ron Sancho.
So this is nothing new to our friends on the bayou.

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.
NC State has prospects named Je’Ron, Jheranie, and Javanti.

I’m proud to say that my team has a lineman named after Bea Arthur, Bearthur Johnson.

Who the heck names their child Shavodrik or Barkavarious?
Didn’t they look down at the birth certificate and say “Whoops, there’s a typo in there somewhere”?

UF’s RECIEVER class of 94 included a Reidell, Jazquez, and Nafis. Pretty impressive for one position in one recruiting class.

#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.”

Wow. Barkevious Mingo.
There should be a rule that Michael Buffer must always introduce him.

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.”

If Techie went to a non-engineering state school, he wouldn’t have to ask that question. I’m still shocked to learn it is possible to live in Atlanta and not know the answer.

This reminds me of the SNL opening where Robert DeNiro was calling off the wanted terrorists.

You would be correct. I think ol’ Majestic got a cup of coffee in the NBA.

Here are a few more names they either are or could be looking at:
Je’Ron Stokes
Jaz Reynolds
Darrington Sentimore (my personal favorite)
DeQuinta Jones
Carneal Ainsworth
Tom Savage
Rex Burkhead
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.
