Bolden's nickname

PrintWe need something more inventive if we're going to nickname our shiny new QB. Nicknames in the C-Webb mold just aren't going to cut it. Perhaps we should wait until he's done something to warrant it, but I'd rather not let RoBo or R-Bold take root.
Since he's the first since Shorty Miller, maybe Shorty Bolden? Penguin Killer? The Snake from Orchard Lake?
Clearly, there are better names out there.

I second
"Every player we have, someone-maybe a parent, a grandparent, someone-poured their soul into that young man. They are handing that young man off to us. They are giving us their treasure, and it's our job to make sure we give them back that young man intact and ready to face the world."

Only if he's riding a unicorn
Until our defense proves otherwise, it should be presumed they will be excellent.
Apparently this was a popular meme back in the day.

RoBo
It’s short, sweet and to the point. It’s also showcases Bolden’s robot like poise in the pocket. He shows no emotions, just like a good robot should!
I think that's the problem with long names
they don’t quite roll off the tongue as well. And I don’t want to type “Robert Bolden: Immaculate Passer of the Highest Quality” every time he throws a TD. RoBo is quick and easy.
Is it Robert or Rob?
We’ve been calling him Robert all off-season but I see tWWL and BTN refer to him as “Rob”.
I think
We should just call him Robert Bolden. That way, we can simultaneously all chant “His name is Robert Bolden” like Project Mayhem does with Robert Paulson in Fight Club.

Thought this a bunch, and kept forgetting to post.
His name is Robert Bolden.
His name is Robert Bolden.

I've actually been doing this already...
…to the great annoyance of all around me
The first rule of Project Mayhem is
You do not ask questions
"He's a beast. But so am I. So let the beasting begin."
His name is Robert Bolden
His name is Robert Bolden

Bold, yet understated...
I can’t wait to hear Herbie say it for the first time on Saturday night.

This I could get behind.
He could just change his name like Prince did to a symbol…like a co*k with lightning bolts through it. It would be pronounced the Nittany Lion roar.
and put his obvious talents to waste?
No sir, you will not be the one getting behind.

Web nerds can address him simply as [b]n[/b] . Think about what that is in mark up language . . . .

looks too much like
bed n breakfast. Not the message I want to send with my QB references.

Um
The Detroit Debonair.
The Detroit Dauntless…Dive…Bomber
The Detroit Douglas…Devastator…Dive Bomber.
Daryll Clark Fist Pump But With More Composure! DCFBWMC!
I consider these all superior to “RoBo”.
Im not sure
calling him A Detroit Debonair would make him ADD….. and I swear I saw his focus during the game ;)
The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital.
Joe Paterno
Oh, I don't know......
I kinda like ReadRam.
It would get shortened to "ReRa" and eventually a broken, mumbled "Rrrr" sound as the English language continues her long descent from the stars to the swamps.
And you people aren’t helping!

Wow, I JUST watched that this morning
probably right around the same time as you posted this. (I watched Boogie Nights last night, and the scene where they come up with their action hero names made me want to watch that scene again)

Only the Exact Opposite. APOTEO for short

Apo Teo sounds like one of those Hawaiian kids that you just know is going to either USC or BYU.

Like the kid whose last name is actually Teo.

Or Penn State
…but his first name was Ako, not Apo. HUGE difference.

As lame as this is, I'm almost okay with it.

Must we, really?
Do we have to tread down the same over worn path as those other teams with their “Shoelaces” and “Beanies” and “Booms”?
Or follow those other, lesser, sports with their “A-Rods” and “Big Babies?”
We are Penn State. Our players names are not written on their jerseys, yet we know them well all the same.
Oh, I suppose there’s room for some shortened names like “Cappy.”
And “Mayhem” was maybe awesome; but our student athletes should not leave school with a nickname instead of a degree.

We just don't want to type Robert Bolden everytime we talk about him during an open thread.
By the time you finish typing his name, ten other comments will have gone up.

So you’re saying Thunder Co^k is too much a mouthful?

Dude, How can you resist Jtot and Miss Paige sharing TC?

speaking of which
I’ll be arriving down there Friday evening. Got my tix in the mail yesterday. I know there’ll be the alumni tents, and I’m sure there’s some thread up about all the get-togethers, but I wasn’t really keeping track of them, and now everything is all sort of cluttered. Do you mind reposting, or just linking the original post?
Thanks.

The Birmingham chapter information is

I very well may end up calling him TC from now on

On another note
Silas changed his Twitter name to incorporate “REDDzone”. Not bad! I like
I like saying "Bolden"
