4 - Overrated
3 - 2008 Rose Bowl
2 - Orange Krush at Bryce Jordan Center

They didn’t put up a gigantic image of Michael Robinson in the North Endzone next to Red Grange after MRob scored 6 TD’s in the 2005 game.

Calling a player by a nickname instead of a real name (“Juice” Williams). Also in this category is “Shady” McCoy, “Beenie” Wells, “Boom” Herron…

Yes

Unless the announcers refer to Evan Royster only as “The Blue Royster Cult” moving forward

I guess...

…to have that nick-name “publically dubbed”, it would take either/or both of these two events:
1.) National/prime time coverage / “Game Day” – with banner displays
2.) Royster backing-up his previous performances in conference play

If I were back in town, I’d have my banner made and hanging for him, plus I’d paint-up one for Green: him in his uni in a profile running mode pushing a lawn-mower over a few DB’s from the Illinoise…“Speedy Green” – coming your way!

…but that’s just me!
