'12 MD ATH Ronald Darby (Florida State Signee)

[GoIrish2917]

Well if we look at him and GA III returning kick offs.... I have to go with my boy Ricky Bobby and say their new nicknames will be SHAKE and BAKE!!!
Opposing special teams coaches will have ulcers the week the have to face us? Hopefully they only are kicking off to us once a game, but punting multiple times

 

[Whiskeyjack]

His nickname is already Nitro. I'm plenty fine with that.

It's generic and pretty cliche. Might as well make his nickname 'Cheetah' or 'Fast Guy'.

'Rocket' was the perfect nickname for Ismail because it evoked both his speed and his first name.

Darby is close to 'derby' (a race). To not use that connection would be creative malpractice.

He plays on defense and is very very fast. Demolition Darby!

 

[IrishLax]

I vote V2.

 

[Irish4Life09]

"BOOM" was Perkins nickname

Who is this Perkins you speak of? I have absolutely no recollection of the gentleman.lmao.
@GoIrish ....very nice! I would love that!! I would go to games with a handlebar mustache and just constantly yell Shake and Bake! They're both adjectives,they rhyme. lmao.

I like that one. Can we make it "That Fast Guy" though?

Ronald That Fast Guy Darby, nice ring, no?

In the end, I just want it to be something Ron likes. Also, I totally didn't get how Darby was like derby and I like your idea a lot more now, but still...I think he needs something that makes his speed more apparent.

That's fair.

Who dubbed Ismail "Rocket"? Was it himself, his teammates, or the fans?

I'd imagine Darby's team mates will have the final say in what his nickname is.

No doubt. Maybe his speed won't even be a factor in it. Maybe it will be based on his goofy personality? (See: his dance videos)

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

Ronald Raging Darby

Ronald Rapid Darby


or simply

"Velocity"

Why can't we have another rocket? Ronald the Rocket, that kinda sounds like a cartoon character.

His dance video??

 

[BeauBenken]

His dance video??

Hold on. Let me dig it up. lol

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Ronald Raging Darby

Ronald Rapid Darby

"Rapid' and "Raging" directly over one another caused my mind to register "Ronald Raping Darby".

That is all.

 

[BeauBenken]

I found this and posted it back on page 54. He has more than one. I guess he is part of a dance crew. I laughed my *** off.

I'm looking forward to seeing those moves in ND's locker room after a big win.

If 'Nitro' sticks, then here are my recommendations for some others, also in the American Gladiators model:

Manti= Gemini
Lynch= Blaze
Nix=Thunder
Tuitt=Tank
Jarron=Sabre
Ishaq= Cyclone
Deontay = Turbo
Tee=Viper
Crist=Lace

Maryland still working him hard and trying to flip him and appears to be the only school to remain in competition per Sapp.

Will be at the game this weekend. Pound the Terps and that should seal the deal.

No Access

Probably nothing new.

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

Marylands coaches saying that he Irish but they are pushing.
Pushing academics PT and location.
He like Edsall and won't make final decision before Feb.

 

[Domina Nostra]

Academics and PT are going to be a tough sell under these circumstances.

 

[NDty9]

Im driving from Ny to DC for the game this weekend. I will be driving through Maryland. does anyone know if Darby has a game this friday? I would love to stop in and see his game on the way up.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Are academics are miles better... Our PT need is equally bad.

No worries here.

 

[TerryTate]

I think Maryland will be out after Saturday

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I think Maryland will be out after Saturday

Are you implying there will be a smack down?

 

[TerryTate]
