It was named after Sam Battistone and Newell Bohnett.   First name of Sam and first two letter of Bohnett.  In the 1970's, pretty big place around the country.


Big Boy's aren't around as much as they used to be, but their burgers are great. 


Good to see MU acted like a big boy

A lot has been said about no AD being a detractor.  It could be to the benefit of an impact coach, in that they may get a say in who it eventually is (point to negotiate) .  A good thing in the long run.  Hopefully we'll see it all resolved quickly.

I think saying we have no AD is not accurate...Cords has been there and made big hires before.  Plus I think Broeker is going to be the AD, but they didn't have time to announce it before the Buzz stuff broke.  Didn't want it to look like a panic move or look like Buzz left because of that.

I bet they name the coach and then a couple of weeks later name Broeker.

Good point.  It will be interesting none-the-less.  It would be nice to see us get a name instead of "anyone know this guy?"

Reasonable explanation for the name, but unfortunately, they decided to use a tiger for the symbol - a la "Little Black Sambo."
