The strongest argument for "The Fresno Flash"?

Everyone likes to compare him to Jahvid Best, who I will now term "The Salesian Speedster."

IT'S GONNA BE A THING.

Because evidently he'll be spending all of his free time studying the plays/formations like Tedford's QBs are forced to master...

If you were from Fresno, would you want to be reminded of it constantly?


Wow, my thoughts exactly. It's like being slapped in the face every time someone calls your name.

*I apologize in advance to any Fresnonians I surely insulted.

I'll happily loan him my handle.... But I still vote "Bam Bam" Bigelow. Some combination of the Flintstones character and the former professional wrestler...

It looks like "the Fresno Flash" made it to the BI article ... even if a few others worry about reminding him of Fresno:

Dwayne Wade's nickname is the flash. Doesn't Bigelow deserve an origional nickname or are we that devoid of creativity? And no, adding his hometown in front does not make it any more origional.

I can't wait for Fresno Superman or Fresno Bones Jones to make their way up the nickname ladder.

Here's some more:

Biggie-Smalls

The Big-fly - because he's a homerun threat.

Taz - because of his double spin move.

I wrote that article, so I'm biased.

That being said, I'll ask Bigelow how he feels about it later.

I am recalling the older style of alliterative sports nicknames!



Alliteration has good Cal pedigree, as well:

Sam "The Tiburon Terror" Chapman
"Vallejo Vic" Bottari

Stars of the 1937 Thunder Team- the last Cal football team to win a National Championship- as well as of the 1938 Rose Bowl (where together they shut out Alabama 13-0):

Those would be terrible, because they are neither alliterative nor appropriate for any superstar that deserves his own nickname. Anyone who is worthy of being called Superman should not have that title limited to just "Fresno".

"Bam Bam", which some people have brought up isn't original either.

Since we all seem enamored with Bigelow, doesn't he deserve a nickname other than BB? "Flash" comes to mind ... whatd'ya got?

Whoever coins the nickname that sticks gets +1000 points
If the team starts to use it ... +1000000 points

I agree, when someone has a natural nickname, it does not make sense to try to come up with a contrived one.
