Title: Terrific guy, outstanding athlete -- and a really cool name
Post by: MU Avenue on October 18, 2009, 06:50:23 PM
"Vander Blue" just might be the coolest name of an athlete since, hmmm, "Vida Blue" or maybe "John 'Blue Moon' Odom."

Strange, that's not what the UW-Madison boards are saying   We really need to sign a kid named Gold.

The Journal Sentinel headline writer's job sure got easier.  The headlines will write themselves.

MUEng92, how have their jobs just gotten easier? Your point or your joke is lost on at least one person.

Vander Blue is great. Not that I want even the hint of association, but it reminds me of Cardinal Law. There are some names that are just made for tv.

Call me crazy but I just figured the clever editors at the JS could possibly use the fact that his name is a color, namely one of his school's colors, to come up with some neat headlines.

Maybe something like, "Blue makes UW see Red" or "Blue is Golden" or "Blue has Golden Touch".  What do I know, I am just an engineer.  Maybe its much harder than I think.
