Now that Butler graduated, I was wondering if we could take a MUscoop vote and determine who now gets "F'n" as their middle name. I think we should always have one of these. I have selected the above title, which is also my vote, because then I actually get to say it twice when I'm excited, pissed off, or an extreme of any other emotion.
Chris O-F'n-Tule
I don't think this should just be handed out arbitrarily. JFB earned it and owned it. If someone makes us stand up and shout that they need it like JFB seemed to, so be it, but just giving it out because...well...because? Seems to dishonor the memory of one Jimmy F'in Butler.
Chicos F'n Bail Bonds
I agree with brew, however i predict a Davante F'n Gardner to happen. Bucknell style.
It's gotta be the guy who makes those plays when we need them. Not necessarily the most prolific scorer.
I will preseason vote for who I hope it will be.
Chris O'f'n Tule. That would be sweet.
It won't be DJO. The story:
Jimmy F*ckin Butlertm was patented during JFB's sophomore year, when he first started getting PT. ZFFB and a buddy were at Wilson's in Madison watching a game on a Tuesday night. JFB was getting offensive rebounds and put-backs like a madman, and my buddy says to me "I don't know who this Jimmy F*cking Butler guy is, but he's pretty good." Thus, a legend was born.
I don't see any new f*ckin's on this team this year. I think it might be good to retire it.
Wiki this sh!t, somebody.
Right f**kn ON!

Hard to believe this. You got buddies?

Jizzmopper understudy at the Bean perhaps?
I have a feeling that Jae F'n Crowder is going to earn himself that moniker on December 10.
For me, nobody will get the F'n middle name until they get on Jimmy's level in clutch situations. Those couple OT games along with Jimmy's last second shots are what solidified JB as JFB in my mind.

I was buying beer that night.
4never's new nickname is the Dos Exuis guy. except when 4never says "stay thirsty, my friends" he means it. no way is that cat dropping a 10 spot for brew.
That explains it. Difference is I don't have to buy friends.

With all due respect and homage to ZFFB, I am going to encourage that MUScoop blatantly infringes on the trademark forevermore.
Might I propose/clarify some restrictions on the F:
1) There may only be one F on the active roster at a time.
2) F is a lifetime distinction, once awarded, it cannot be rescinded.
3) A player must demonstrate athleticism, consistency, grit, and clutch play in order to be dubbed an F.
4) An F may be awarded via a 51% favorable Scoop poll vote or unilaterally by ZFFB.
5) F may not be awarded retroactively (apologies to Dwayne & Steve who would likely have been), and must be awarded while a player is still active (so to maximize proper and polite usage of F during a game).
I propose we designate an accolade which signifies a playa far superior to the aforementioned qualities of an F. Such a Warrior would be so honored as to be henceforth referred to as a MF'er.

Dilemma for most dentists: Do I buy some friends or simply do without? Most choose the latter.

Yuck. There can only be one Jimmy F Butler.
We need to be a bit more creative around here.

Spot on!
I don't think there should be another "F'ing". It just takes away from JFB.
We will have new nicknames for this year's guys. I love calling Crowder "the Predator," partly because I still love that movie.
My wife calls DJO the black Frankenstein. I like that one too.

Agreed...the f'n tag was well earned by JFB.....if that should become self-evident over time with our current or future players....so be it. In the meantime, let's get creative by giving them their own message board nickname identity. The f word has no magic....it could be used as an alter ego nickname such as "Vander "f'me" Blue if he turned into a turnover machine with no outside shot and always missed at the most inopportune moments. In fact, prior to last years' run to the sweet 16....I was considering renaming March Madness into the NCAA "f'n" tournament (NFT).

clearly, Vander's nickname this year is vander orange.

Crowder's nickname also could be Slam Crowder.

The "Predator" is awesome, but I think the DJO nickname won't pass the test.

Sheesh. Put the kibosh on "Vander Gold" pretty quickly, eh?
Seeing that Thundercats has been resurrected on Cartoon Network, it would be cool if the student section did a "DJ, DJ, DJ-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH"

Crowder with some shoulder mounted rockets would be the tits.

Agreed. Also, it helps with the two syllables in the first name. Sounds better.
I'm optimistic we one day get Vander effing Blue.

I think the first "f*ckin" might have been Niv "F*ckin" Berkowitz. As in "what the f*ck was I4 thinking when he got this Niv "F*ckin" Berkowitz guy."

I thought the first "F*ckin" was whomever Kevin O'Neill was addressing, no?
for nicknames, we are calling Davante Gardner The Force of Nature.
As in, Gardner is an unstoppable Force of Nature.

I like it. The last "force" we had (George "Brute Force" Thompson) ended up with his jersey hanging in the rafters.
