WHAT IS THE STORY BEHIND YOUR CHATBOARD NICKNAME !!

Myself, everyone calls me DRE. Even all women young and old. Some of the older women go as far as MR. DRE LOL !

I fell in love with the grace of the black fish as it swooshes about and throughout the ocean's of the world. I have 4 or 5 different mantaray teams painted to date with more coming. If i were to enter the NFL it would be with the MANTARAY'S. Either in hawaii or pasadena californ 'I' 'A". I put two and two together and came up with

[RavennaAl]

We were living in Ravenna, Michigan when I first discovered the Miggle chat board sometime in '95 or '96. Even though I grew up in San Jose, California, I adopted Ravenna as my hometown (It's where my wife grew up). Somehow San Jose Al just didn't have the same zing to it as Ravenna Al, so that's how I picked it.

[Electric Coach]

Below is an excerpt from the fall edition of the Tweak. Also the complete Electric Coach article can be read at the web site www.electriccoach.com . Click the "B.O.E.Z" button at the site to read the article.

While visiting message boards by Miggle and Buzzball, Moe noticed that hobbyists around the hobby were referring to themselves as “coaches”. Shortly after visiting the message boards and trying other ideas for a name, Moe came up with the title that would launch him into electric football history. The name he came up with was Electric Coach.

Maurice

The Electric Coach

I picked my name because no matter where I got to college, I'm allways be a Badger fan first. Wisconsin boy born and raised.

For my user name,.....it started out as a fantasy sports team name and was originally the "Detroit Murderers". I abbreviated it to DETMURDS and have been using this nickname for almost everything since around 1997.

[Steel Town Tough]

Huge Stiller fan.I love their style of play and tradition.Tough town and tougher people ---Steel Town Tough

Mine is the combo of my last name "Harmon", and my favorite starting hand in poker "A-8" (Aces and Eights also known as the "Dead Man's Hand")...great thread!

Mine is Dallas because I love the Cowboys and Star because that is the Cowboys logo and 22 because that is Emmitt Smith's number and I was named after him.
