Check out the third to last guy in the team stats for the 2005-06 Elon Phoenix.

Too bad this guy was never an All-America candidate. Would have made for some uncomfortable conversations on the college basketball shows on ESPN.

Yeah, but be honest - would you have believed me if I just posted, "there was a guy named Porn who played for Elon a couple of years ago" without some kind of link to prove it?

Not exactly hoop-names, but some variation on these names would be awesome: http://www.cracked.com/article_14982_9- ... world.html

Llewelyn Moss: Is uh, Carson Wells there?
Anton Chigurh: Not in the sense that you mean.

Leemire Goldwire



that dude from Bama State's full name is even more ridiculous than that. it's also funny that many folks around the SWAC started out calling him KickingstallionISMS instead of SIMS
