How did you decide on your username?

[hamidousvertical]

I've read this sight for years and only recently decided to create a username so that I could throw my 2 cents in here and there. Diallo was the talk of the town (and did you know he has like the 2nd highest vertical in the combine....ever?!) so I wanted to create one that was relevant to the time that I started posting.

Since there isn't a lot basketball wise to talk about right now, I figured I'd try and find out how some of you decided on your name...

Because i got peed on

Better peed off than...uh...never mind.

 

[nssdigitalchumps]

Shameless self-promotion of a website I run. Plus my initials. We don't try very hard.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

I'm creating a new world order next year, but it's based on the workd we all lived in in 1974. And it's blue.

 

[BBUK]

Big Blue UK...BBUK

Years ago (20+) one summer around the 4th the kids called me big red (for a totally different reason.).....sigh...

That means my parents were still considering a third child. A drink away from a bad decision.

In short, I won't exist.

True inspiration

 

[WCSPlayedWRInHS]

I let my cat walk across the keyboard and this is what I ended up with.

 

[ORCAT]

Mine has a simple explanation. I was a misplaced UK fan living in Oregon at the time all these boards were created. Thus, the name ORCAT. Nothing too brilliant of outrageous, just kinda made sense at the time. I now live in Lexington and am so happy to be back in the Bluegrass but kept the same user name for all these years. I did have an earlier user name before that which was PacificBlue, again for living on the West Coast but being a UK fan. Also, the TV show, Pacific Blue was popular at that time.

 

[CELTICAT]

When I created this username, Pitino was coaching the Celtics and Mercer, McCarty, and Walker were all on the roster.

 

[cawoodsct]

To honor Cawood Ledford.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

I'm a hairy mofo.

Goonie goo goo Gus

Oh, i let it happen

 

[BBUK]

I'm a hairy mofo.

Goonie goo goo Gus

That's just nasty...

 

[BBUK]

Oh, i let it happen

By a willy?..say it "ain't" so Joe....

 

[HenryMuto]

I just decide to use my name since I couldn't think of anything else.

 

[KySpringCat]

I live in Ky, Springfield, and I'm a Wildcat fan.

Hence, KySpringCat.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

After trying a few different names and discovering they were taken, I tried this one and lo and behold it worked.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

That's just nasty...

I know, but whatcha gonna do? Just my cross.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Silent film fan. Play on silence is golden.

 

[ulismyman]

Because Jackmyson made everyonr uncomfortable

 

[Lucid Blue]

First part was my old band's name and the second part is UK Blue.

 

[armchairpg]

Just a simple play on armchair quarterback.
I watch the game at a pretty basic level like a lot of fans but I still find myself questioning coaching decisions, etc all the time.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Because i got peed on

Some people pay for that.

 

[chroix]

Mine was a typo a friend of mine made a long time ago spelling my name. I've used it ever since.

 

[Willy4UK]

Some people pay for that.

Not me.

I'll do a Dirty Pinocchio at no cost to the community. FYI

 

[uky8unc5]

We hold these truths to be self evident....

 

[_ukcat]

Easy to figure how I chose mine. I had just ukcat for years but at some point we had to resign up when site changed name or ownership and never could get ukcat again so added the _ to it.

 

[Willy4UK]

Mine was a typo a friend of mine made a long time ago spelling my name. I've used it ever since.

I'll be honest. I always thought you were Native American.

 

[BBUK]

...that willy got something going...

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Not me.

You made me look that up, and it's not even a thing.

 

[Blueaz]

Because Jackmyson made everyonr uncomfortable

Jackmyson was a better poster than you.

 

[Willy4UK]

You made me look that up, and it's not even a thing.

Ha ha ha

Oh but it is. It will be in there soon.

 

[Ripamaru]

It's a 2pac memorial. It is the same on every account and email I have. In a few months my user name will be old enough to drink.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

Back in the mid 90s the first discussion board I started reading was Clark Francis' Hoop Scoop. It was a national board mixed with fans of every program. I noticed that most screen names were some combination of team and where the poster was from. I did same. Kept the name when I found Steve John's Wildcat Chat, and still have it.

 

[Cats192]

Somebody posted something I didn't agree with while I was lurking in the shadows, and I had to tell them how wrong they were.

In my rush to make a username, it wasn't very original. The numbers were the numbers at the end of my college e-mail.

 

[eppsfan]

Based mine on my co-favorite Cat. Wayne Turner would be my other.

 

[flacat22]

I moved to Florida from Lexington at 23, the number 22 was in honoring of my favorite baseball player Will Clark.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

I met Dick Vitale. I told him my name was Mike. He proceeded to call me Jamal.
