How did you decide on your BGP name?

[Oldtimebaseball84]

Always curious to hear the stories......

[Colonels_Wear_Blue]

[Lawnboy13]

I had a lawn and landscaping service back in the day, as well as playing a lot of competitive softball. During one tournament, legendary coach, Mark "Pomp" Pompilio started calling me "lawnboy" and the name stuck. 13 was my uniform number, so I decided to go with both, not thinking that anyone who played softball back in the day and are members of this site, would have ZERO problem figuring out who I am.

 

To this day, if I run into someone that I played with or against they still call me lawnboy.

[JDEaston]

Well, its my name. First two letters are first and middle names, the rest is my last name. Seemed easier than going incognito since I have nothing to hide.

After having been around for 5 years, I don't think I'd entirely mind going by my actual name...but oh well.

[Jumper_Dad]

I knew that between my son and daughter that I would be a Briar Jumper Dad for the next decade or so when I picked my name.

[GrizzlyAdams]

"Yeah and Grizzly Adams had a beard"

"Grizzly Adams did have a beard!"

[halfback20]

"Yeah and Grizzly Adams had a beard"

"Grizzly Adams did have a beard!"

 

Just stay out of my way... or you'll pay! LISTEN to what I say!

[doomer]

It's the nickname some friends called me. There was a basketball player for Memphis in the 80's, Phillip "Doom" Haynes, and knowing I was a U Mem alum and fan, a friend jokingly called me that since I have the same first name. It stuck and morphed to Doomer.

[Bengal Maniac]

It is my Fantasy Football name. I just forwarded it to this. I really don't think I am a maniac in any way, just Man I Am a Covington Bengals fan

[nWo]

I used to be a big NWA/WCW fan.

[Sandman]

Always curious to hear the stories......

 

Tradition on this board used to dictate if you ask a question like this, you share your story first. So let's hear it.

[rockmom]

Well, I was in a particularly unimaginative moment when my son played football for the Rocks...
