Uncle Nico?

[UT Hill Man]

Uncle Nico sounds pretty good.

Kid can throw the ball over a mountain and the orange van is pretty sweet as well.

 

[Swiftybaby]

No

 

[Swiftybaby]

Please

 

[1Big_Orange_Fan]

I'll go with it until we get something better

Hendo Cinco —> Nico Ocho

 

[Chickenfarmer]

Just call him Sir!

 

[OneVolNation]

Nico Suave

 

[Zues1]

Nico Suave

Nope

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Just in the Nico time.
His passes zipped, and
Whether arched or a straight line.
Nico, Nico, Nico man.
After all, he's a Vol man.

Well, let's hope he is all he's hyped to be and more.

The way this typically works is, teammates give each other nicknames. Eventually, those of us outside the locker room hear about them, and some of us use them.

So we don't need to spend any time trying to think up suggestions. Not our role. Let's just stay tuned.

Go Vols!

Uncle Nico Suave?????

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

My hope is that a year from now we’re referring to him as “Peyton with wheels.” It isn’t very catchy though.

 

[VolForLife83]

Pajama Party?

I think he will just be Nico.

 

[AdoptedVOL]

Let it come from his team mates or coaches.

Nico Rings is what we need.

 

[Freak]

This keeps coming up, but I don't really understand the need to give Nico a nickname. How about we just call him Nico. It's quite unique. Not like we'll get him confused with all of the other Nicos in Tennessee football lore.

Freak - there was no "need" to come up with a nickname last summer when Nico came on the scene. However, I thought there was a similarity to their style and names, so I just had fun combining. Certainly didn't intend to upset anyone over something so harmless.

Totally agree man, can't believe Rico was sporting UT orange on the cover of Playgirl.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

This is funny but Nico, along with most undergrads at UT, wasn't even born when Napoleon Dynamite released so it just isn't a good fit.

It wouldn't be VN if people didn't get upset over harmless stuff. We have some of the most perpetually offended, victim mentality fans there are. It's only a small percentage but they are a loud legion of miserables.

Thanks for the encouragement and hey, it's offseason - so lots of stupid threads from now till kickoff! GBO and stupid is as stupid does!
