Pull a Deacon athlete's name out of your butt thread

Dewi Hardman, yes. Another good dude. Welsh, from (one of) the smallest town(s) in the world. I would always ask him to recite that super long Welsh city name: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Yeah, he read an essay in a journalism class about his hometown. I'l never forget the line about the pub in town not caring about anyone's age, but rather having "money and a willingness to part with it."

CJ!

Wow. Talk about a random name I haven't heard in a long, long time. That's a good one. Went to "preschool" with him before freshman year at Wake.

It's been years now, but I once randomly bumped into Cureton at an apartment complex in suburban DC. We talked Wake hoops for a while. He was a good dude.
 
When I think of watching Wake football in the mid to late 90's I think of David Moore. The dude could flat out fly!! Was always the first guy down field to make the tackle on kick off coverage. Also, a really good guy.
 
Brian Johnson. Dude fumbled on Parents Weekend and cost us a chance to win the game. I was impressed at how quickly he and his family made it to Newmarket Grille and were actually willing to show their faces out in public. That was the quintessential "ACC Football Doesn't Matter" moment for me as an undergrad.

Had a very random evening with these two together (comic gold) at a random women's basketball team party I went to. Felt a bit out of place, so headed to the porch where the keg was to get hammered. Hamilton and Shoemaker were chilling there apart from the crowd so I joined them and it was fucking hilarious. I got to hear some shit that night.

We need more "flip's" and "snoozy's" these days. I feel like if you have a nickname that sticks, you''re probably a baller.
 
you should at least have to spell the person's name correct before throwing it out

AW Hamilton once shot the ball backwards out-of-bounds.

I wonder if many others actually remember this, because this is a top five memory of wake basketball for me. As high schoolers, Townie and WaketheUniverse and i were sitting immediately behind the three point line in the front row when this happened. The ball when backwards over our heads. I've probably shared that story a half a dozen times because we were rolling in the aisles laughing. A happier time for wake basketball.
 
Kenny Moore

Not obscure at all unless you're really young but I think he's a pretty underrated hero from the 2006 championship season. Was a very solid receiver and punt returner until he was asked to step in at running back in an emergency situation. Held things down with the running game for about half that season, ran for 165 yards against Maryland in the winner-take-all game that clinched the division.

We don't win the title without him (you can say that about at least 5 players off the top of my head) - but Moore is the MVP to me

Bounced around the NFL a bit later on
