As you can see, I have a pretty good start. However, 9 men does not a football team make. So I'm open to suggestions for more recruits. Only requirement is that they have to be actual college football players. No fake-outs...because anyone can make up a last name like "Butts." But "Goodrum" and "Redwine"? They're funny because they're true...
Oh, we're also in need of a mascot. And nothing dumb like a "Hilltopper," because, really,what the heck is that anyway? It looks like a big happy pimple with arms and legs.

Dude, I MUST have some role in a football team THIS awesome!!! :-D
I have to say I went to an LSU football game yesterday (and you know my loyalties are with the Tide), but just being in SEC Football atmosphere made me SOOOO HAPPY!!! It made me want to speed back to Tuscaloosa and stay there!
Hi, Susanna and Nolan!
I share your football enthusiasm (Go B.C!!!) and have always thought Emerson Boozer had one of the best names (goes nicely with Messrs. Redwine and Goodrum, don't you think?) He played in the '60s at Maryland State and then in the pros. I am sure I will come up with others.
This is fun. Can you tell I have lots of time on my hands, now that I am "retired"?
Georgia used to have a QB named Mike Bobo.
Miss. St. had a defensive lineman named Pork Chop Womack.
Susannah,
Two things:
1) When my family returns to Johnson City, we will once again become supporters of the Science Hill High School "Hilltoppers" (yes, it's the high school that gave the world the genius of Steve Spurrier, Heisman Trophy winner, coach of the 1996 National Champion Florida Gators!).
2) May I add U.Tennessee player, Jim Bob Cooter to the all name team?
I'm glad that the team already has a couple of quarterbacks. If we had to add Auburn's QB to the list, this would no longer be a family friendly blog.
I remember a guy who played for Florida State named Craphonzo Thorpe. He was a wide receiver.
Laura, that was excellent!
Susanna,
Sorry I put an "H" in your name when I left you a message. I don't know what came over me!
Blessings,
Aahron

there was a guy who played linebacker at UGA in the late 60's named Happy Dicks. He is now a prominent brain surgeon in Athens. He certainly has a name that might be wothy of consideration for this team.
Does Dick Butkus count, or is that too obvious?
Also, I have to ask, what is not to love about the Hilltopper? He was at an academic tournament I was in when I was in high school. I'm not kidding. The final match was broadcast on the radio in Bowling Green and the Hilltopper was there. Hilarious.
Keep the comments coming! And no name can be "too obvious" on this team! I'll post an updated team roster very soon...
Here's the latest roster:
John David Booty
Chris Smelley
Ryan Succop
Adam Licker
Quinn Pitcock
Marlon Favorite
Mychal Belcher
Rashaad Goodrum
Nic Redwine
Emerson Boozer
Jim Bob Cooter
Craphonzo Thorpe
Dick Butkus
And, c'mon, Brian. Who ever said this was a "family friendly" blog?
Okay, fine. We need to add another kicker to the list. So, I think that former Alabama player Jeremy "Blue Flamin'" Schatz should make the roster.
