The Best Player Names in Bison History

[Castor Troy]

Some guys have great names for whatever reason. They don't have to be great names for a football player (Mike Stonebreaker, Scott Studwell, Thane Gash) but it certainly helps. They could be cool names (Plaxico Burris, D'Brickashaw Ferguson) or they could be weird (Rolf Benirschke, Fred Biletnikoff, Jeff Siemon).

Here are mine for the Bison:

Garth Tschetter
Gunnar Gossard
Cyrus Lemon
Flint Flemming

[CaBisonFan]

Snuffy Byers
Paul Hatchett
The Marmath Twins (can't recall first names) - otherwise known as the 'Beach' Boys from Beach, ND (not absolutely sure of my details here)
Ken Muckenhirn
Tony Satter
Chad Stark

What is the whole Paul Hatchett story anyways? I don't think I've ever heard the true history. Anyone know?

Sorry for getting off the tracks. But, it's America!!

Gunar Gossard. Tim Popowski. Cliff Rothrock.

I wonder how much of the alphabet you could come up with using alliterated player names?

Flint Fleming
Gunar Gossard
Justin Juckem / Jeff Jerve
Mike McTague
Pat Pringle
Scott Stocynzki
Qurt Quenette (ok, so I cheated a little on that one)

Tim Popowski did student teaching out in West Fargo. I bet those little 5th graders about peed their pants when this huge guy walked into the room. His demeanor, when I met him, was great though.

[Castor Troy]

The track team had a guy with a great name. His name was Landusky Hertz and he was from Montana where his family were loggers. Mark Waldera (Wally) who was the throws coach back then and also is responsible for whipping Mike Favor into shape during his early years nicknamed Landusky "The Manchild from the Promise Land." I don't know why he didn't play football, but he was about 6' 4" and 240 as a freshman. He was about 275 after Wally got a hold of him.

How does Howdy Lawler not make this list??

[sambini]

Thurman Cotton. Super T ++++++++++++++

Thor- The Hammer Hand

[BraxtonT]

How does Howdy Lawler not make this list??

I'll vouch for Howdy, but what gets me is no one in four pages has made a mention of NINO ZEZZA. Granted, he was no hall of famer, but this is all about names.

[DjKyRo]

I regret knowing nothing about the actual player, but Dirk [Crazy] is a badass name period.

[Da Bison]

He lived out of his pickup the first week, when he walked on.

[TheBisonator]

He didn't have an interesting first name, but I always liked the last name of Jay Delmedico.

[TheBisonator]

Best nickname for a Bison player: "T-Rizzle"

Tommy Ray's nickname

[Castor Troy]

How does Howdy Lawler not make this list??

I thought of Howdy when I wanted to start this thread, but then I forgot his name. My two favorite names are Garth Tschetter and Howdy Lawler. He should be on here for sure.

[go_bison]

Can coaches make the the list ? If so, Rocky Hager was always intimidating for a coaches name.

[Leonardite]

I'll vouch for Howdy, but what gets me is no one in four pages has made a mention of NINO ZEZZA. Granted, he was no hall of famer, but this is all about names.

This right here.

I don't recollect that name. It is classic. fill us in on his spot and time on bison football. I'm curious.:)

[BlueBisonRock]

I always appreciate both the name and the nickname "Rocky". There were three in my HS at the same time Coach Hager was just up the road.

[SlickVic]

Jamar aka "the future" champ...I wonder whatever happen to that fool his kick return in the spring game never seen anything like it since

Nino Zezza played at the same time as Feeney. He was a WR who had a pretty good career considering that NDSU's offense was so run-heavy (plus he line up opposite Tim Strehlow.)

He cheated on a test in one of my art lecture classes. Got the proof straight from the prof.

(Note to Tony: This is not gossip, this is absolute quanitfiable fact. I can PM you with proof if you like. Coupled with the fact he is not on the team anymore means this post should be allowed. I would never make accusations or even post negative non-field-of-play truths about any current Bison athlete. I just want to make sure I'm not branded the same as Lakes in his dark days of BV posting.)

(Sub-note: The football team was in no way part of his cheating. The team had nothing to do with his actions.)

NDSU went FBS?


This list was only going to include FBS schools, but I couldn't resist letting one FCS name in at No. 24. You'll see why.


10. Aireal Boyd, CB, North Dakota State (@oolong)

Easy mistake to make considering our .571 winning percentage against FBS schools, don'tcha think? :nod:

Was pronounced "Krews" / "Cruise" until he got to NDSU!

[NWNDBison]

What is the whole Paul Hatchett story anyways? I don't think I've ever heard the true history. Anyone know?


The Forum did a "Whatever Happened to Paul Hatchett" story in 2006, but that is long gone from the Forum archive, even for purchase. There does remain, however, a Bison Media Blog story written at the same time. You can pretty much piece together what happened.

http://bisonmedia.areavoices.com/2006/08/29/the-hatchett-saga/

When his football career was over, he disappeared from NDSU before graduating. Went to southern cities. Got involved in drugs big time. Did a stint in prison. No one knew his exact whereabouts in 2006, but they believed he was still hanging out around Savannah, GA.

I remember watching Paul when I was in college. Won a lot of games at running back for the Bison. Came right atcha and if he couldn't find a way through ya, he ran right over the top of you. It was a different era, but he was an exciting man to watch.
