college football birth names

Tim and Hannah Witt of Hartselle, Ala., are such devoted Alabama fans that when their newborn son arrived in March they named him Saban, for Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban.

Saban – the infant, not the coach – weighed 7 pounds, 10 ounces.

The couple already had a son named Tyde.



Not to be outdone, a Columbus, Ohio, couple named their first son Tressel Hayes Huffines for Buckeye coaches Jim Tressel and Woody Hayes.

Birth records show that since 2003 at least six Ohio couples have named children Tressel.


Fortunately, they didn't hire Schnellenberger :lol:

haha good grief. well, they are namesakes after all. most people use their own names though.

What if you name your son/ daughter some coach's name and then the coach leaves and becomes coach of your archrival? (cue-- LSU and Alabama)

auburn is alabama's 1st main rival, then tennessee. lsu and auburn arent too bad of rivals, just teams in the sec west that play each other every year. but now that alabama's new coach is lsu's old one, i'd say that depending on how saturday's game goes, they could turn out to be rivals, or at least head coach disputes
