I know we agreed not to talk about them , but another reason to hate the 6-letter-word team in our conference. Check out this publicity they are getting because of some famous players on the team.

NEW ORLEANS – Tulane has some memorable surnames on its roster: Steven Broccoli, Kenny Welcome, Corey Redwine, Jordan Sullen, Fudge Van Hooser, and Nick Montana (son of Joe).

The coolest name, though, is Marley. Nico Marley, freshman linebacker, is the grandson of one of the greatest musicians who ever lived.

Nico looks a bit like Bob, who died in 1981, 15 years before Nico was born. "I think they look exactly alike," says head coach Curtis Johnson. Nico does have a similarly calm complexion. He loves "Redemption Song" because it's "soothing."

On the field, however, "soothing" is not the word. Nico Marley, direct descendant of a man who sung to the world about peace and harmony, is nicknamed "The Missile."

That's actually really cool. I didn't know Bob Marley's son played at Miama, either.

Broccoli is a very important vegetable. Welcome is an important way to greet people. Red Wine is a good wine. Fudge is very tasty. Don't care about the others.

Didn't know about Joe Montana's son either. I thought it was interesting too.

Yeah, he played the year Miami played Bama for the N.C. 1992, I think. I thought Rohan went on to play in the NFL, but maybe not.

Fudge Van Hooser. Nuff said.

[GreenBat]

Can you imagine how much laughter there would be if Van Hooser played in Green Bay.

I'm a "vintage" Mean Green" fan. Welcome to my world.
