Article:Matt's A-Z of Funny Sports Names: NCAA Edition

Back in March I wrote an article about the NFL and MLB that was entitled: " Matt's A-Z of Funny Sports Names ". It was a lot of fun, so I decided to do it again!

Warning: I grew up watching "The Three Stooges" giving me a love of slapstick. Along with that some low-brow humor makes me giggle like a child, so this may have a few things that are too racy for you. And that is fine. A little for everyone, right?

Note: With a few exceptions, I try very hard to not use "foreign" names. It is easy to make a joke about a name you can't pronounce...but as I said, there are a few exceptions.

NCAA Basketball
Don Adams A very generic name; but a name that is the same as the great “Maxwell Smart”.

Otis Birdsong This guy should have been a musician.

Corky Calhoun Alliteration and Corky in one name…like a fine wine.

Bob Doll One syllable away from being made by “Mattel”.

Blue Edwards Hey, cheer up buddy.

George Feigenbaum Umm…What?

Deng Gai Sounds like something you say to your friend after he shows you the money he won at the casino.

Skip Harlicka What does this even mean?!?!?

Royal Ivey My favorite kind of ivy.

Jermaine Jackson No relation.

Ernie Killum Legend has it that he had a job with the mafia all lined up after graduation.

Ray Lumpp Two “p”s, huh?

Nick Mantis Ready? Wait for it………….no…that is too easy.

Melvin Newbern Say this like an old, southern man.

Grady O’Malley He better own a bar in downtown Boston.

Richard Peek
 * snicker*

Q Oh…sad…no name.

Dick Ricketts This is on the list because, I guess I am twelve.

Curtis Staples What does he staple? Paper? Puppies? Eye lids?

David Thirdkill I wonder if he is Ernie’s “wing-man”.

U U is a lonely letter….

Butch Vanbredakolff Sounds like a “Special Ops” Lieutenant.

Dick Wehr That is a question no man wants to hear…

Thaddeus Young “Why did you guys break up?” “He was a Tad Young” – Wahh wahh wahhhhhhhh.

Phil Zevenbergen Easy for you to say!

NCAA Football
Pat Angerer Eric Mangini?

Isaac Butts Come on…his name is Butts!

Harry Colon Sounds like a side effect of a drug you see on late night TV.

Honester Davidson I want to meet the less honest Davidson.

Dick Eaton Do I even need to say anything here?

Happy Feller Well, good for him!

Cleveland Gary Not to be confused with Portland Gary.

Arkelon Hall I think I lived there in college.

Gary Inskeep Side job?

Michael Jackson ‘nuff said

Dick Kackmeister You do not name your kid Dick when that is your last name. Someone needs to call CPS. (I seriously almost cried when I saw this name)

Marlon Lucky Not lucky enough to have a contemporary name.

Darcel McBath (Honorary Mention) Colt McCoy That name is just, plain awesome.

Bronko Nagurski No comment…this guy could probably break my face in half with a look.

Mike Oven I have Mike Oven right next to Mike Sink

Carl Palazzo If this guy is not in the mob then I will eat my hat.

Richard Quilling How do you even pronounce that?

Jacquizz Rodgers I threw him on there for the sole fact that his brother’s name is James.

Riley Skinner Serial killer or cowboy…or both?

Elmer Tarbox What exactly is a tar box?

Bill Underdonk Under Donk? So would Donk be: Donk Overbill?

Trevor Vittatoe Worst. Dietary Supplement. Ever.

Taco Wallace (Honorable Mention: Juice Williams) Taco? That is a FOOD, not a child!!!

X What? No David Xerox or Roger Xylophone?

Ashton Youboty Ha…every time I heard his name I snickered.

Roger Zatkoff I would bet my shoes that this guy was a Bond Villain’s number one.
