    It used to be, if you didn't have a nickname, you were not a very good player. It was a compliment. Now, it seems as if players are too sensitive to have nicknames. What are some of the one's you like? and tell me who these players are?

    1. Say hey kid
    2. Oil Can
    3. The Big Unit
    4. The Blade
    5. Catfish

    You guys...

    You guys are so smart.. I knew Catfish Hunter.. and that was it. Keep them coming though, because I love it. Wonder if "Duece" will continue to hold even though number "1" will be the tarheel number! I think he will always be duece to mom and dad, now we will see if the famous will take place one day!! :banana:
