Best/“Coolest” names of Past/Present GT Football Players

[MountPGT1990]

Felipe Claybrooks
The Goose
Joe Ham

Good ones! Felipe Claybrooks is a great one, used to love watching him on D-line

The Goose is Loose! Probably biggest surprise player/over achiever I have ever seen in a GT uniform. I remember thinking we wouldn't win three games the year he was named our starter, he was a stud!

Eddie Lee Ivory...

...so catchy ...Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney sang a song about it.

Ed-die-Lee I-vor-y... living in perfect harmony

A real hit!

Except ELI spells his last name, "Ivery".

Bebe

We've never had a player with that name, and you know it.

Not GT related but UVA had a basketball player by the name of Majestic Mapp and he had a younger brother named Scientific Mapp.

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

TAZ Anderson
Joe Auer
Lawrence “sweet n” Lowe
Rufus Guthrie (gotta love a guy named Rufus)

And Rufus had his own language - “Rufinese”. He would combine guys names and use that. For instance, a guy like Brad Yates would become “Bates”. Billy Lothridge might be “Bothridge”

(If we are including nicknames)

Indian Joe Guyon
Walter “Big Six” Carpenter
The inimitable, our very own - Deepsnap Charlie Cheney

Coaches -

Whack Hyder
Dynamite Goodloe
