[QUOTE="Cook, post: 1570612, member: 321590"] Here's a couple, to the best of my recollection. Luther Powell Jr. - a fictitious player created when a confused tv announcer combined our actual players into this hybrid. Now a reference for any announcer gaffes with player names. Also, not the guy who will pay tuition (e.g. Crandall's) to help the team whenever we want a recruit, but also want to save a schollie. ;) Duhon's rib- from a 2004 game vs. Duke when Chris Duhon playing with bruised ribs was extolled in the media as if on par or greater than game 7 Willis Reed heroics or Jordan's flu game. Now a reference for really laying it on thick, over emphasizing one's toughness, miraculous effort if playing hurt, etc. Not to be confused with general media prejudice for Puke or Ratface. 🐭 Been on the boards since Brumby's original (late 90's/early 00's) [/QUOTE]
