My roommate at UK had a huge Samantha Fox crush - multiple pictures of her on his side of our dorm room - including the one posted here.

As far as "good" nicknames are concerned, I always liked Dwight "The Blur" Anderson. Such a great talent that was squandered.

Chuck Verderber? Long time ago we used to just call him "VD" but I still don't think that was a bad nick.

So you're pro-venereal disease? Got it.

for that time and for a few short precious years after, we still knew how to have a sense of humor. today, people only know how to have a PC stick up their butts.

I remember when Matt Jones tried to give Perry Stevenson the nickname "Pacman" in an interview and he said please don't call me that. Call me Swat.

Mike-hook shot, over the backboard-Scott

Especially the "team" nicknames that for whatever reason MUST always start with the prefix "un"

It was actually cool up to a point. The original Fabulous Five. The Fiddlin' Five. Rupp's Runts. The Unforgettables. Those came about organically. Anything since then has been pretty forced, especially once the message board era got into high gear 15-18 years ago.

De'Aaron "the Hedgehog and the" Fox.
Or maybe

De'Aaron "Fair and Balanced" Fox.

Underrated.

My 13 year old boner just stood up and said "Samantha Fox?"

Wait, that' sounded odd. I would have called a doctor after 4 hours

Anyway, I know the rules.

Don't think about bad nicknames, but the best is Kenny "Sky" Walker

For being nicknamed "Smooth," Ramel Bradley's game wasn't exactly smooth.

Can't forget the Shagari Safari though. That rhymes and you know it rhymes!

Peter Jurkin. Wait, nm, that's his real name... [banana]

 

[zannmann]

Saul Smith - point guard

 

[Guess Who]

"Shorty"

 

[mjj_2K]

Saul Smith - point guard

You left out a key word there: "starting".

Take that word out of the equation, and history might look upon Saul a lot more kindly. It would have been a lot easier to swallow if he had been a 10-15 mpg backup. As opposed to the 2 year starter (3rd in minutes both those years) guy he ended up being.
