Stumbled across this online thought I'd post before forgetting - "Pop" Warner, "Bump" Elliot,"Rip" Engle,"Woody" Hayes, "Bear" Bryant
Here are a few fetched from the net
- Jake Butt being tight end kind of appropriate
- Navy had a guy named Wave Ryder. If that's not a perfect name to play for Navy then what is?
- Nebraska had a few - I.M. Hipp, Jarvis Redwine, Richie Incognito, Prince Amukamara who apparently is an actual prince since he's descended from African royalty
- Arkansas had some Dicks at QB while they had a Nutt for HC.
- Alabama and Oklahoma State both had Ears Whitworth as their head coach. After being fired at Alabama for racking up a 4–24–2 record,he went to UGA to be a line coach for Wally Butts
- Auburn had a player/coach (and math professor) named Boozer Pitts. He was actually head football coach twice
- Dick Crum though I wouldn't feed him to the pigeons
- And the afore mentioned Michigan's Horace Prettyman in another thread
- Quincy Adeboyjeo (pronounced atta boy joe!)
- Texas evidently had a Philander Moore they also had a Austin Maverick
- 2009 Mr. Irrelevant from Arkansas ....Ryan Succop
- There was a Boobie Hobbs out there somewhere
- There was a Crazy Legs Hirsch, played one varsity season at Wisconsin, then the next at Michigan, after enlisting in the Marines during World War II.
What do ya have to add?
