  • Nimrod Signs with USD Basketball

    Seriously.

    Looks like a great player, tough break on the name.

    Wow, the student section is going to have a few years to tee off on that guy's name.

        Reminds me of the guy who played for either UND or NDSU back in the day with the last name Mustard. He always heard it quite a bit about how much better ketchup was.

          The fine fans of SDSU that never cause trouble in a USD/SDSU contest shouldn't be making fun of him. You have wayyyyyyyyyyy to many boosters on here that want a clean and classy rivalry. No Nimrod jokes. On the other hand, had he signed with you? All bets off.

            You can't be serious. I think you're a little sensitive. You can't honestly tell me that USD wouldn't have a good time with a name like Nimrod if it was on a State uniform.

              To sensitive? me? Anyway, reread my quote. I said if he signed with you, all bets off. i.e. we sure as hell would make fun of it.

                Teasing someone regarding their name = clean fun. I do this with good friends all the time, and I'm sure you do too. (BTW, I'm sure this particular player is quite used to it by this point.)

                Dropping a duece in the visiting teams showers = over the line. I have never done this, and I'm guessing you wouldn't either.

                It doesn't seem like it should be that hard to figure out.

                  I reread. I stand corrected. Then we can all agree that this guy's going to be hearing his name a lot.

                    They added Terrell and Nimrod, to me it sounds like some bad cop spin off skit on saturday night live.

                        Nimrod? Who'd do that to their kid?

                        Its not as bad as Dick Trickle but its Top 10 worst names in sports. Good get for the 'Yotes. You could say that their team will be made up of a bunch of stooges and a Nimrod.

                            Apparently it's a Hebrew name... but with an unfortunate contemporary connotation.

                              The "strangest" two names of which I am aware. There was a family not far from where I grew up whose last name was Popp. They named their son Soda and their daughter Lolly. Soda Popp was actually a pretty good basketball player in high school and the sports announcer's report frequently was "Soda Popp scored 10 points last night." I didn't know about Lolly Popp until several years later. We also had a baby sitter back in those days whose name was Candance "Candi" Caine.
