Nervous Purvis

"Sam II Am" I'm banging away at that nickname until it sticks.

Now that's actually clever.

There are an entire of genre of nicknames that are ironic. Like big huge guys being called "tiny." Remember Little Chino from Dexter? He was huge.

But you didn't mean this one to be ironic. You meant to be a . As usual.

Yet another reason to love Heady Topper; one of the best t-shirt designs:

Should have been 'Onions'.

It was for me

Still better than last year's Out-of-service Purvis

Then how about At-Your-Service Purvis?

 

[Durks07]

I assumed this was a thread calling for Tim Boyle to start instead of Purvis.

 

[Danzz]

Rashad's nickname was Microwave.

Thought that was John Gwynn's nickname.

Then how about At-Your-Service Purvis?

As long as its not Whitmer!

Oh, so now you can read my mind. You really are amazing.

You take something I said, make it something I never said and blame me for it, then call me a . Look in the mirror --idiot.

I never intended this to be any bad about Purvis. Just having a little fun with nicknames. Heck I compare him to a national champion NNP in my original post. He is the one (or the paper) who said he was nervous. I just put the two together.

Just don't read my threads and everyone will be happier. There is a block function. Use it.......or apologize.

I thought he was 'shad?

Our players deserve way more nicknames then they have.

 

[8893]

apologize.

Thanks for the laugh.

What I said was not news. Your reputation is well-established, well-earned and well-deserved on at least three forums here, for well more than a decade.

If you intended your nickname to be ironic, you don't understand what "ironic" means.

I like that. How about Sam I Am Version 2.0?

Or Son of Sam?

Originally Vinnie Johnson's.

I remember Rashad also going by "Fish Fry"

Drama Queen Palatine, gotta admit it has a ring. The ancient Romans had palatines that helped found Rome and establish western civilization. Anyhow, after reading this board for some 15 years, during which you have never had an unexpressed negative thought about any UConn team, coach or player, it has the makings of a nickname.

How about Jello Spine Palatine. When the going gets tough, he quivers.

Speaking of Jello, I wonder why it is that Bill Cosby isn't hawking it anymore.

Begins with "r," ends with "e," with an "e," an "l," 'nother "e," a "v," an "a," an "n," and a "c" in between.

(Is this a bit Chap-esque?)

Rashad had a game where he hit a couple 3's in a row and he ran by the scorers table yelling microwave. I remember people on campus calling him microwave after that.

I couldn't find and article talking about that game, but they did reference his nickname here.

I prefer Alien Junior Though Junior doesn't look much like an alien. Must have gotten his mom's looks.

College kids are on their lap
