Title: Cool Names - UNO
Post by: warriorchick on November 20, 2014, 10:39:55 PM
Not a particularly noteworthy contest this time, but not too shabby for a low-major commuter school in Nebraska.

Congrats to the Ohio State winner, Keita Bates-Diop.

And a special shoutout to Marc Loving, forever to be known as the "Hoop Dreams" of the Cool Names Contest due to my egregious snub.

Has to be Mike "The Rains of Rachipoor". Bet he rains in the threes, with that moniker.

This poll really is racist.  The first winner was a black dude, and now we pick a Persian.

Um, our first winner was white.

UNO sounds strange to, that will always be University of New Orleans (and this pre-dates Bert's brief time there)

UNO will always be University of New Orleans to me

Assuming the teal was not lost on you.  Guess I meant the second winner and the latest.

I got the teal.  But you can't make up your own facts just to make your joke work.

Well you definitely made sure to ruin the joke.  Will make sure not to use humor in your threads in the future.

"Rylan Murry"
Sounds like someone's name after 3 or 4 Green Drinks.

If you had included 'Tim Smallwood' , this thread would have gone very differently.

I figured I'd cut that unfortunately-named kid a break.  I am sure there is no joke he hasn't already heard.

Plus, I am sure he would be the first person to tell you that having the last name of " Smallwood" is definitely not cool.

Pretty sure there's a professional bowler named Tom Smallwood too.

It does lower expectations, though.   Sometimes that helps.

You can't remember his name after that Bill Cosby-esque evening on the PBA tour?
