Title: Hoping never to hear "Hank the Tank" again
Post by: wadesworld on August 20, 2015, 08:27:53 AM: Just my personal opinion. It obviously has nothing to do with Frank the Tank's game, as he was an outstanding college basketball player and I'll be thrilled if he is even close to as good as Frank was, but personally I didn't like the nickname and I'll like it even less copying it off a Badger.

Hank or Henry works just fine for me. If a nickname is required I'm fine with King Henry. Or "the Locomotive" as Thomas once called him.

Yeah that was my 3rd option as well (well, really my 2nd, but Thomas's nickname gets an automatic bump because, well, it's from Thomas).

I can dig it.

But just remember, he was too selfish of a player for Bo, so Bo backed off. Duh.

That does lead us right to "The HANKle Grabber", which i'm sure some could get behind.
