PrintYes. This is a rip-off of Sippin' On Purple's weekly feature, that itself is a blatant copy of the Name of the Year blog and Storming the Floor's God Shammgod Award. We are bloggers. We are shameless.
Each week I'm going to peruse the other team's roster and pick out the five best names. You be the judge. At the end of the season we'll pit the winners against each other to come up with a Name of the Year.
Honorable Mention
64 C P.J. Lonergan
Read on for the Nominees.
The Nominees
53 OL T-Bob Hebert - This is how he is listed on the LSU Game Notes. According to the "Outside the Huddle Section": Son of former New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons quarterback Bobby Hebert ... Was given the nickname "T-Bob" by his great-grandmother ... Listens to "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin before every game ... Describes himself as "a huge nerd." Collects comic books and video games. Said his favorite comic book growing up was The Green Lantern.
35 FB James Stampley - Jim Stampley or Jay Stampley just don't have the same gusto. I don't know what it is about this name. James totally makes it work. He could be the little fat kid with chocolate smeared all over his face, or the kid that licked the flag pole in A Christmas Story. Or a 5-10, 230 lb. Junior FB for LSU, though I would have pictured OL before FB.
95 DT Lazarius Levingston - Dr. Levingston I presume? Wrong. Luh-zair-ee-us Levingston. The Defensive Tackle for LSU. I would be surprised if he pursues his doctorate, though I would love to be wrong. His nickname is Pep. It should be Doc. His friends probably aren't readers.
50 SNP Joey Crappell - I am a juvenile. And this name is gold. Brown gold.
49 DE Barkevious Mingo - This is one of the greatest names I have ever seen. Bar-kee-vee-us. Mingo. I would love the story behind its genesis. There should be a book about this. I suspect we might have a name for our annual award. Phenomenal. I will be absolutely devastated if this name doesn't win. Shocked.

Lord Mingo will also be displeased with a loss in your poll
And forced to unleash his fleet of Pain Dirigibles upon your QB
Choose wisely, Commodore…

I have been reading SoP almost since it started
and I do believe that “Barkevious Mingo” is better than any single name ever listed there. “Joe Mingo” would have made a weekly list; “Barkevious Smith” probably would have been a weekly winner. It’s simply beyond words how awesome that combination is.
I have to wonder if the SEC might simply have better names. The second best name of the year for last year was “Eltoro Freeman” from Auburn in the bowl game (narrowly losing to Christian Kuntz).
Reality has a little-known Northwestern bias
NU prez knows how to get PUMPED
LSU names
There probably should be a separate category for LSU names. Barkevious Mingo distracts us from what a great name T-Bob Hebert is.
Fake Pundit. Real Fan.
And The Valley Shook!
LSU is unfathomably deep in the great name pool
Guys like Jakhari Gore and Stefoin Francois didn’t even merit a honorable mention.
LSU could field a defensive front with Barkevious Mingo and Chancey Aghayere bookending Lazarius Levingston and Ego Ferguson at DT, all under the watchful eye of DL coach Brick Haley.
I pray Dusty Rhodes is announcing college football if this lineup goes in.
T-Bob
The “T-” is quite common in front of names in south Louisiana (at least where I’m from). It’s a corrupted form of ‘petit’. Like the Cajun French of Bobby Jr.
But yes, we have some awesome names.

Part of the genius of "T-Bob" is that you don't generally call a guy petit when he weighs 280 lbs
Don't Panic.

That is the beauty of it.
I’ve never known anyone with the “T-” prefix that was under 2hundo.
