In honor of Badger hate week, because there is nothing cool about UW basketball.
There is many a Wisconsin player whose name fails to inspire interest. It may simply be boring, or it is a little too hard on the ears, or perhaps even a bit precious. Certainly nothing about any of these names says, "I am a badass baller!"
How sad that the only Badger whose name even approaches coolness is, well, Bucky himself.
There are no cool names on any Badger team, ever.
8-)

This is awesome. And true
Duany Duany was a cool name.

Duany Duany was a cool name.
A Dwyane Duane on MU would be even better
I went with the Grinch in honor of the Christmas season. I hope we see that puzzled look on Saturday afternoon.
I abstain, as all Badger names are equally uncool.

I had to vote Jordan Smith/Jordan Hill. That's two uncool names.
What about Nigel Hayes? Sounds like a barrister.

You're right, his name kind of DOES sound like he makes coffee at Starbucks...

Microscopically less uncool than the six above, if only because there cool guys exist who are named Nigel. But only in the UK.
Had to go with ... Bo.
What the he'll is a Bo? Beauregard?
Boris?
Where did "Bo" come from?
Wisconsin basketball is the most uncool team in all the land, unless you're mesmerized by the bounce pass, Brian Good, Brian Butch, or you're just a red neck who can't handle that basketball is a city game.

My great-grandpa from Czechoslovakia was named Bohuslav. I'm guessing Coach Ryan's is more along the lines of Bozo.

My father-in-law's name is Boguslaw. (I can't get the Polish letter l with the slash through it typing on my phone.)
I'm down with Gasser.
"Ryan Dearring"

Hold the "l" button down.
Alando Tucker and Trevon Hughes are pretty cool names...
But that's all I can think of.
