A little mundane perhaps, but Keuka's Teddy Tuggles is my entry for today.

Teddy is only 5'8" and 165 in college. I hope he had a big brother to protect him in grade school and high school because I'm sure he got harrassed a lot with that kind of name! lol :-) Big bullies!

Well, he could go by Ted, or Theo, or Theodore perhaps. But his Dad was a Teddy Tuggles as well, and his nickname is "T-Tuggz".

Keuka also has 2 players, Diamond Booker and Putter Brown that were instrumental in their 1st win of the season on Saturday against St. Lawrence.

Aha, a bridge-playing librarian and a winter golfer.

Time to come up with candidates for our all Name team...

Now I know St Louis pharma, who has already played 2 SLIAC teams, isn't D3, but please, these guys deserve consideration

For Stl Pharma... Gozie Uzendu, and Alish Kuply

I had the pleasure of watching Isaiah Shakespeare the other night as his Muskingum Muskies lost to Kenyon in OT.

From a post I made on the E8 board back on Oct. 30th

Perhaps Coach Kornaker is optimistic that this year's recruits will contribute right away. After all incoming frosh 6'5" Optimystik Kinard (got to be the E8 name of the year and possibly the D3hoops name of the year) has optimism written all over him.

Albion has a freshman guard (only playing JV this year) named Josh Wisbang

We used to have a lot of fun on this page, but it died... I can't resist this name though..
Yjack mentioned a returning player for Randy Macon over in the ODAC room...Rip Engel.... those of us who are baby boomers may know that Rip Engle (note spelling difference) was a VERY successful football coach (win % .679) at Penn State in the 50s and 60s..... the man who preceded and tutored the next guy, Joe Paterno.... Thought we might be talking a grandson or great grandson till I noted a spelling difference....

NOTE... if you want a chuckle, read preceding pages in this room... some GREAT names....

I think this page should undie.

We need more names!

gordonmann · August 14, 2015, 11:34:48 AM

Indeed!

Take a look at the CUNYAC team pages if you want some interesting and hard to pronounce names.

Like this guy, who was the CUNYAC rookie of the year. Do the pronunciation as best you can in your Marv Albert voice!

uh oh. was looking at former Fontbonne Coach Steve Shafer's roster of his first team at Bendictine College, Mesa, and found a candidate for name of the year... except it's DQ'd because it's not D3...

Welcome to Benedictine, Mesa.. 6'8"... Melvin Orji

I'll leave it to someone wittier than me to come up with a great line using his name....

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh · October 28, 2015, 02:13:54 PM

Orji finds himself tangled up on the ground with several other players. Not sure who had their hands on the ball.
