The 2011 NCAA Tournament All-Name Team
March Madness is finally here, and along with the familiar staples like filling out brackets, taking Thursday or Friday off to watch the first round, and Gus Johnson’s exploding head, usually comes a few unique names from some of the smaller schools that most of us aren’t as familiar with. Will it be possible to top Chief Kickingstallionsims? That’s a bit ambitious. We’ll probably see Princeton hoist a national championship before Mr. Kickingstallionsims loses his crown. Without further ado, here is your 2011 All-Name Team.
Starters
Ivory White, Forward, Alabama State — It’s not quite as blatant as Louis Lewis, but it’s up there. Shocking he was born in Alabama.
Gus Leeper, Forward, Arkansas-Little Rock — Gus Leeper is to basketball what Mr. Bookman was to libraries.
Ian Hummer, Forward, Princeton — Ian Hummer somehow ended up at Princeton University and not in a three-way with Eve Angelina and Brianna Banks.
Pooh Williams, Guard/Forward, Utah State — Anyone listed in the official team directory as “Pooh” is certainly worthy of a spot in the starting lineup.
Chudier Pal, Center, UNC Asheville — It’s pronounced Chew-da-eh. He made the list because this team needed a god damn center. He’s also here so we could ask the masses if his teammates call him Chewie.
Bench
Preston Purifoy, Guard, UAB — His last name is basically “purify” with a ridiculous New York accent.
Blaise Ffrench, Guard, St. Peter’s — If you have a stuttering problem, this is the name for you.
Ryan Bacon, Forward, St. Peter’s — Ryan Bacon is 6’7″ and 205 pounds. An absolute disgrace to bacon. If he were a fatty, he’d most certainly be starting.
Steve Tchiengang, Guard, Vanderbilt — No idea how it’s pronounced, but he woke up this morning and said “it’s plowing time.” Team Tchiengang.
Jordan Weiner, Guard, UC Santa Barbara — A basketball name that begins with so much promise, but ends in cliched mockery.
Jordan Costner, Forward, St. Peter’s — More bizarre bookends. Start with a legend, end with Waterworld.
Mathis Monninghoff, Forward, Gonzaga — The ‘Hoff is from Germany. It’s a safe bet he jams out to “Jump In My Car” before each and every game.

Classic scene.
There was actually a linemen for F$U back in the day who was called Pooh Bear Williams. Maybe they are related.
March 14th, 2011 at 1:52 PM
Hernia…
Fab Melo. Scoop Jardine. Must haves on here.
Derrick Rose’s nickname is Pooh Rose. Chew on that one for a minute.
March 14th, 2011 at 1:53 PM
This was always my fave.
March 14th, 2011 at 1:54 PM
And now I can’t say his name without Francea’s voice in my head.
March 14th, 2011 at 1:54 PM
Shame this blog didn’t exist in the glory days of Duany Duany
March 14th, 2011 at 1:54 PM
Needs more Dallas Lauderdale.
March 14th, 2011 at 1:56 PM
Fab Melo is legendary, but I was shooting for the names that weren’t really known yet.
March 14th, 2011 at 1:56 PM
That was one dark motherfucker.
March 14th, 2011 at 1:57 PM
Say it! Say it! Shaw-dair.
March 14th, 2011 at 1:57 PM
Very enjoyable post. Nice work.
March 14th, 2011 at 1:57 PM
Vitamin Water is now all over my desk.
March 14th, 2011 at 1:57 PM
It’s pronounced “Chain Gang”. Seriously.
March 14th, 2011 at 1:58 PM
+1 for Brianna Banks reference
I bet Weiner is making something happen with Phoenix Marie
March 14th, 2011 at 2:00 PM
Ummm. It just got uncomfortable in here.

Found him in the cradle of motherfucking civilization
March 14th, 2011 at 2:01 PM
I would die a happy man if Luka Mirkovic ever entered the arena to this song.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:03 PM
I hate that you can no longer see the actual comment someone wrote in the recent comments section. I have comments I’m trying to send to specific people and they never see them.
Does anyone remember the name of the guy that married some chick he met by playing Words with Friends? I want to say it was Jasper Jaspers or something equally dumb. I was reminded of him when I saw Ivory White.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:04 PM
This is probably the proper place to reveal that my friend used to work with a “Greg Gregger”
March 14th, 2011 at 2:05 PM
“I don’t judge a man by the length of his hair. Rock and Roll was never my bag…but you put on a pair of shoes when you walk into the public library mister.”
March 14th, 2011 at 2:06 PM
The south bend NBC affiliate has a Jeff Jeffers.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:07 PM
You wake up with a name like Greg Gregger and just know you’re going to kick that day’s ass
March 14th, 2011 at 2:08 PM
Or your business cards come in eggshell white.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:08 PM
“Well, let me tell you something, funny boy. Y’know that little stamp,
the one that says “New York Public Library”? Well that may not mean
anything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of a lot.
Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to. I’ve seen your type before:
Flashy, making the scene, flaunting convention. Yeah, I know what you’re
thinking. What’s this guy making such a big stink about old library
books? Well, let me give you a hint, junior. Maybe we can live without
libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we’re too old to change
the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right
now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees
and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers?
Doesn’t HE deserve better? Look. If you think this is about overdue
fines and missing books, you’d better think again. This is about that
kid’s right to read a book without getting his mind warped! Or: maybe
that turns you on, Seinfeld; maybe that’s how y’get your kicks. You and
your good-time buddies. Well I got a flash for ya, joy-boy: Party time
is over. Y’got seven days, Seinfeld. That is one week!”
/for cleet
March 14th, 2011 at 2:08 PM
Try to say Greg Gregger 5 times fast. Its impossible.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:09 PM
That sounds like a character on “Father Knows Best”
March 14th, 2011 at 2:12 PM
Pooh Bear was a very fat FB for Free Shoes, Cleet. I do believe he played a little in the league even
March 14th, 2011 at 2:12 PM
You forgot this guy from Vandy.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:14 PM
All the lights…. remix.

howard arcinault or something from weber state. pooh is good cuz it’s hoop spelled backwards
March 14th, 2011 at 2:16 PM
Festus Ezeli, Center, Vanderbilt — So close to Festivus, even closer to Fetus.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:17 PM
Just did it. You’ll have to take my word for it. I have a talented tongue… or something like that.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:18 PM
In non-basketball news, Jens Lehmann is headed back to Arsenal due to all its injuries to its goalkeepers.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:18 PM
Chief Kickingstallionsims thinks all these guys are pussies.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:18 PM
what about scientific mapp?
March 14th, 2011 at 2:19 PM
Just went to si.com. Dan Shaughnessy doesn’t give two shits about college basketball ever. Now Harvard’s on the bubble and he’s throwing out their sob story. Pathetic.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:19 PM
Ahh, “The Show Arcenaux”. Great tourney one-hit wonder. UConn had a guard, Monquencio Hardnett back in the late 90s. That was always my favorite.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:20 PM
I prefer his brother majestic.
Also, we can’t forget God Shammgod.

March 14th, 2011 at 2:21 PM
Was just about to put that on there.
Not surprised it was you who beat me to it, Cleet.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:21 PM

B-but Almunia is sooo good.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:21 PM
Oh my. I have never heard of this chick or the show she is on (Secret Life of an American Teenager) but good Lord… these are possibly greatest leaked nude celebrity photos of all time.
DEFINITELY 100% SUPER NSFW
March 14th, 2011 at 2:22 PM
All he cares about is his hair.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:22 PM
I laughed for like ten minutes when he came in against Barcelona. It was basically the worst thing aside from Cesc tearing an ACL that any Arsenal fan could fear.

Wow, fucking dagger for those of us at work.

Thumbs down.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:23 PM
Coached a kid named Jesus Christ Merritt back in the late 80′s, I kid you not. Everyone called him Chris. It was weird because although his parents were ultra-religious his brothers were named Larry and Roger. You can’t make this stuff up.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:23 PM
That’s the winner.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:24 PM
Funny thing is, he kept thinking his name was “Allen Iverson” and that’s why they lost, if I remember right.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:24 PM
Shame this blog didn’t exist in the glory days of Duany Duany
Wasn’t his brother (think he played for the ‘cuse) named Alex or Joe or something completely normal? That’s the best part. “Hey, let’s name one of our kids Duany Duany, and the other one Joe Duany.”
March 14th, 2011 at 2:24 PM
I’ll be honest, I really don’t like it either. Not as good as it should have been.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:25 PM
God…damn. Wow.
And yeah, definitely the opposite of safe for work.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:25 PM
World B. Free
March 14th, 2011 at 2:26 PM
Hmm. I wouldn’t got that far. They were a ten seed and beat DUke is round 2 just to move on. He was a huge reason. Biggest reason they lost to Arizona (in OT) in the Elite 8 is because Austin Croshere had a bad game after being on-fire in the first 3 rounds.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:26 PM
Yeah, that was a fail given the potential it had.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:26 PM
His brother was Keith. PLayed on the Cuse title team.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:27 PM
My whole thing is if you’re going to remix something, I want it to sound different than the original. It’s just the same song with a few extra verses from other artists.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:27 PM
/makes mental note for when I get home
that shit had better not be taken down before 6PM EST.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:27 PM
Yes, all of this. I am at work, but worth the quick preview glance.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:28 PM
There was Kueth Duany who played at Syracuse, unfortunately he wasn’t the first born and thus wasn’t able to rock the double name…it was a Sudanese tradition that led to Duany Duany
March 14th, 2011 at 2:28 PM
K, I’ll defer to you on that one. I remember a few games against UConn where we seemed to shoot a lot, and missed a few too many (both parents grad’d UConn so I followed them some)… never really watched them in the NCAA’s.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:28 PM
That’s not even fair. That’s who the trophy is named after.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:28 PM
Yes, all of this. I am at work, but worth the quick preview glance.
Not going to risk it… will someone save it for all of us poor souls trapped behind desks?
March 14th, 2011 at 2:29 PM
My next door neighbor had 2 kids in her class last year that were twins. One was named Antoine. The other was named Notantoine. I didn’t believe her until she showed me her class roster.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:29 PM
Also on the Charlie Murphy All-Darkness team.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:29 PM
Gotta agree, pretty disappointing. Can we just get an instrumental, the beat is sick on its own I’d rather just listen to that.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:29 PM
There was Kueth Duany who played at Syracuse, unfortunately he wasn’t the first born and thus wasn’t able to rock the double name…it was a Sudanese tradition that led to Duany Duany
Oh okay.. that makes sense then. Kueth isn’t as ‘normal’ as I remember. That’s cool though, most of us probably wouldn’t have remembered him had he been sporting a normal name.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:29 PM
Shouldn’t that be called the Wesley Snipes Darker than Darkness team?
March 14th, 2011 at 2:30 PM
Keith. Kueth. Whatever.
yes, regular season he was Iversonesque and hot and cold. he was great in that tourney though.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:30 PM
Scientific Mapp, guard UVa, late 90′s. He had a brother named Majestic. He played DI somewhere less than the ACC.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:30 PM
Yes, definitely not worth the risk if you can’t guarantee a few minutes. I turned my monitor almost totally towards the wall, haha
March 14th, 2011 at 2:30 PM
The dentist for the SF Giants is Les Plack.
He never had a choice during career day.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:31 PM
Someone with time should take the SFW segments and put them somewhere everyone can see… quite a few seemed worthwhile on my quick glance
March 14th, 2011 at 2:31 PM
World B was a great name, but it was Lloyd until he had it changed while in the ABA.
God Shammgod was a chosen Muslim name as well.
The Mapp brothers were out of the womb with Scientific and Majestic. That is pure gold!
March 14th, 2011 at 2:31 PM
My next door neighbor had 2 kids in her class last year that were twins. One was named Antoine. The other was named Notantoine. I didn’t believe her until she showed me her class roster.That’s too good.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:32 PM
I don’t have a problem if the other artists absolutely kill it. Not what happened here at all. One of my favorite remixes like that is Mos Def and Scarface hopping on Common’s “The Corner” and doing work.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:32 PM
The other was named Notantoine. I didn’t believe her until she showed me her class roster.
My mom used to take care of new-borns at a hospital in the inner city… she’s had a “Trashina” and a “Nosmo King.” The latter is my favorite… the mother obviously couldn’t read and saw a “No Smoking” sign in the hospital somewhere; and then just decided she liked the look of it enough to name her kid that.

wowsers.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:35 PM
Inaccurate. he was born w/ that name, and changed it in high school to Shammgod Wells because he hated it so much. Because he never legally changed it, when he enrolled at Providence he was forced to revert to God Shammgod in order to get in school.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:37 PM
actually just looked this up for confirmation, and he changed it at age 5, but never legally did so.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:38 PM
Twice in a day, JayV… I really thought God’s name was Muslim. Must have heard it wrong a longggg time ago.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:38 PM
I should give the h/t to Warming Glow, that’s where i found the link. Ufford provides a solid description for those at work.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:39 PM
As a teaser for those who can’t click the link, I’ll just say this: vibrator dildo. Or at least, I’m fairly certain that’s what it is.
/is it TBLAD yet?
March 14th, 2011 at 2:40 PM
That just made me more desperate to see them. Oh the torture~!

Jay V with the knowledge bomb dropped, I feel smarter now.
/Somebody quick show me some boobies
March 14th, 2011 at 2:42 PM
Had to iPhone those pics. I’ve never seen the show but looking her up on IMDB and I’m definitely skeptical that its who is claimed. Maybe one or two were her but not all of them. Very nice pics regardless.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:42 PM
Don’t forget the nipple peircings.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:43 PM
Yeah, I had a similar thought. But there’s no question a few of them are definitely her. The others are up for debate.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:43 PM
God bless smart phones. Smaller picture, but safely viewed at work. Wow.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:44 PM
Yeah, I had a similar thought. But there’s no question a few of them are definitely her. The others are up for debate.
How can a few be her, and a others not be? Is she in a different location? Different hair color?
March 14th, 2011 at 2:45 PM
Different locations, outfits, wet/dry, etc…
March 14th, 2011 at 2:47 PM
Hair color is one thing, though she could just have had it dyed. She’s a redhead by nature, from the looks of things. At the bottom of the page there’s some link to something about not being certain about the legitimacy of the pictures.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:49 PM
Well, if it’s her, smart move by the young lass. She’ll have her own reality show in under a year. At the very least something less crappy than “the secret life of the american teenager” or whatever it’s called. Not so secret anymore.
March 14th, 2011 at 2:57 PM
I went to my phone to take a look. For some reason this post won’t load past comment no. 29.
