My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark.
Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy – the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

I'm glad we might get FSU, they've been gunning for our Big Man U name. I know you're not going to believe me but I was the one who came up with that phrase "Big Man U". I first used that phrase back in 2012 when Nerlens Noel was coming out. Back then, I was on ESPN chat when they allowed us to post. I would beg Nerlens to come to Georgetown damn near every day. One day I wrote on the chat, Nerlens please come to Big Man U, please come to Georgetown. I was using the handle back then gregory2004. But of course you wont believe me. I wish I could find the post on ESPN. But every since that day, the blogs caught on to it and started also referring Georgetown as Big Man U.

I tell you I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing too. When I used the phrase, I had never seen it before so that is very interesting. I wish I could find my post as there were no one using the phrase at that time. When I wrote on the chat, I was desperate to get him to come to Georgetown as we kept getting denied by big man after big man each year. So this is very interesting. Now, I would like to find the guy who originally came up with the phrase.

Could have put the Otto led team over the top!

No it's interesting because I swear I hadn't seen it before and out of desperation I just blurted it out and wrote it in the chat to try to entice Noel. It doesn't mean that what I am saying is not true. It just mean that great minds think alike even though back then, after we got Greg Monroe, we didn't get anymore great big men for a while.

My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy – the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. *** early nominee for top post of the year
