So this topic has come up on a few threads, and I figured it's time for it to have a thread of it's own.  It's time to come up with some player nicknames for the 2008 season.

Special shout out to user "BlueWhiteLife" who originally came up with the nickname suggestion. 

Here are some that I have come up with.  Please add to the list in the comments section and we can create a poll later to see who has the best nickname for the 2008 season.

Evan "Rolls" Royster

Josh "No pain, No" Gaines

Rich "Toot my own" Ohrnberger

Dan "Breaking the" Lawlor

Jordan "Morning" Norwood

Micky "The Schooler" Shuler

A.Q. "You sunk my Battle" Shipley

Maurice "Stairway to" Evans

Chris "Coca" Colasanti

These are just a few of the ones I thought up.  Please feel free to add your own or suggest new names for the ones I've listed here.  Let's have some fun with this!

So ESPN has released their updated top 25 now that the spring games are wrapping up.  Some familiar faces in the top 5, including USC, Florida, and OSU (sigh).  PSU barely makes the cut at #25...behind Michigan State?  WTF? 

In fact, ESPN rates 4 Big 10 teams ahead of us:

OSU at #1

Illinois at #16

Wisconsin at #18

Michigan State at #24

On the plus side, scUM didn't make the list at all - surprise, surprise.
