Defintiely a cultural thing.

Are people still listed by their nicknames in the Reserve, La telephone book? Lots of Cue-balls, P-nuts, Chu Lu's, etc in that town used to not even have their first names listed.

Because they are having fun.

Why do gumps concern themselves with what LSU fans do?

It gives you guys and the Alabama press Sect., Paul Finebaum something to talk about.

Just curious, why do Bama fans rag on Honey Badger more than every other fan base combined, then call Vinnie Sunseri the Vinniebadger?

Nicknames in college football have been around way since any of us were born.....

Every member of the 1908 LSU has a nickname, and near every team they played that season had nicknames for their players.

Alabama has had it's fair share of nicknames for players.

Had that name back in high school.

Sonic Sam

I also believe got that in high school. Loves video games and his favorite character is Sonic.

PP7

Is easier to type

Honeybadger

We all know how that started...
quote:

the predator

Chad Jones looks like the predator in uniform.

Mettsiah

Is a hyperbole to some degree. We just REALLY want/need a decent quarterback, so this became his nickname because we were so sick of below average QB play.
