I can't tell you the story behind my username because it's classified information, but I can tell you about the time The Immigrant Song made an old couple think I was trying to run them off the road, if you'd like.

Sigh, must I ALWAYS explain... Rooster is his given name. Given to him by his Uncle. Uncle Foghorn...No, he is not cannibalistic...but many Cows of the Chic-fil-a variety keep telling people to eat him...more..(No, I am not drinking today. Imagine if I was...)

I picked mine while wall and boogie were here but I had been lurking since Patterson became a cat. I will never forget watch That live stream of him committing that day uk basketball was taking a step back in the right direction. I love how some have picked handles based on running jokes on this board like @Slowwalker in honor of Karl towns walk, and @WCSPlayedWRInHS is a good one. I always thought @Deli owl was based on him going to the deli and ording a pound of owl meat lol. I haven't read the whole thread yet , but please explain @Nooneputsbabyinacorner.

Jack "Goose" Givens. 41 points in the 1978 NC game. Should be 78Goose's but no apostrophes allowed. I don't like geese. I like beating Duke.

I believe it was football season or maybe just in my mind but anyway. Tony Delk was always my favorite player so I put in Delk Bowl (word play with Delk and The Belk Bowl). When I logged on it said Deli Owl.

Got the nickname Grover about 30 years ago and it stuck. Everyone but my mom, dad, and siblings calls me that. The 420 part is pretty self-explanatory.

I used the name Blue_Floyd for several years just so I could make a sig with John Wall busting through a brick wall ala Pink Floyd

I'm a male from Kentucky and 1998 was our most recent championship at the time.

I thought Kyboy1998 sounded better than Kyman1998.

I picked mine in honor of my car. It stands for Jerry-Rigged Pinto Rotting Outside a Stone Shack.

Ironically it's also my first 2 initials and last name. Worked out perfectly.

I've read this sight for years and only recently decided to create a username so that I could throw my 2 cents in here and there. Diallo was the talk of the town (and did you know he has like the 2nd highest vertical in the combine....ever?!) so I wanted to create one that was relevant to the time that I started posting.

Since there isn't a lot basketball wise to talk about right now, I figured I'd try and find out how some of you decided on your name...

Its what my parents named me.

Mine has a simple explanation. I was a misplaced UK fan living in Oregon at the time all these boards were created. Thus, the name ORCAT. Nothing too brilliant of outrageous, just kinda made sense at the time. I now live in Lexington and am so happy to be back in the Bluegrass but kept the same user name for all these years. I did have an earlier user name before that which was PacificBlue, again for living on the West Coast but being a UK fan. Also, the TV show, Pacific Blue was popular at that time.

seems cool enough to me

mine was pretty easy - it's an old screen name though
when I first signed onto AOL back in 97 I tried a couple of other names I wanted to use and they were taken. Got frustrated and allowed AOL to give me one; the Bko is from my real name - but I ended up with a string of numbers after it. I was a chat room junkie back then, when AOL Grandstand was in full swing, and used the original name. Found out, later, that I could create a new name under the original account. So people would know me, I kept the Bko, and added the Cats

Years later when I found this site, I noticed a lot of people from the old AOL days were here, so I used that old screen name.
