It has to be in relation to the blue uniforms they wear. http://www.halcyon.com/marcs/mascotcoll2.html The John Carroll nickname was taken from a quote from an alum and sportswriter, who said something like “there they go, just like a bunch of blue streaks”.

Definitely not intended. The Clemson choice may have admittedly been on a whim, but it was maturity that led him to realize he needed to decommit. And, as he said, if OSU had offered earlier, there would have been no Pittsburgh. Good read from Bucknuts. I wish they would've published this earlier so I could've incorporated the tidbits about roomies and uniform number into the post. yeah, my one regret about the way I worded his feature is that it may have come off like I was trying to bury him.

Good read from Bucknuts. I wish they would’ve published this earlier so I could’ve incorporated the tidbits about roomies and uniform number into the post.

I'll be rooting for him. speaking of which, Bucknuts just published this story on Nic. http://bucknuts.com/news/story.php?article=3772 it includes the full text message Tressel sent him: “Hello Nic. This is Coach Tressel. I was wondering how an Ohio State scholarship would feel for you.” also plans to wear no. 81. Plans to major in communications, will room with Nathan Williams, Ben Buchanan, and Zach Domicone. sounds like his recruiting story is more a story of maturation and actualization of childhood dreams than it is about just finding a college, per se.

I take it Madison just leached the university's nickname, as is common for high schools. Curious, though: what is a Blue Streak? a reference to a bird? thanks MikeLew.

Ohio has a bunch of interesting monikers for their colleges.....the Yeomen of Oberlin, the Lords of Kenyon, The Berg for Heidelberg(formerly the Fighting Student Princes, which was waay cooler).
