    Well, phonetically, then, his name sounds like "Ike." Does "Eik" come over as a long "i" vowel sound, or does it come across more like "Ick"?

    Re: Wes Eikmeier needs a nickname (doesn't he?)

    All I can say right now, is that we already have a Wes. Although I'm very excited about the prospects of Wes E, Lucca, and others, they have to earn their nicknames. Not that I think everyone HAS to have a nickname anyways...but that's just me.

    On an unrelated note, I would like everyone here to start calling me T-bone. My name doesn't start with T, but I think that is a cool nickname anyways. Thank you.

    I was thinking of a nickname for functional reasons, not as a reward. Next season when someone discusses "Wes," it might not be clear to whom he's referring.

    T-Bone, oh, I know I'm one fan here who can't call someone by that nickname. A young man carrying that nickname shot a police officer dead here in the Waterloo, Iowa, area some years ago. A particularly notorious murder in this region.

    A few thoughts:

    The Savior
    The Man

    Or we could just stick with:

    Wessie

    I cheer for two teams, Iowa State and whoever is playing the hawkeyes.

    How about "Ike-can't believe cyclonenum1 is this obsessed with me"?

    Ikemeister....MR Eikmeier. He also has a frame and mindset about the same as Emmenecher of Drake. However, he does shoot threes. Hmmm.

    I like just calling him E, sets up good for yelling "E FOR 3!"
