Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I wonder what the origin of the where/how this nickname came about? Anyone know? Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Haulin No. 2 Share Posted December 31, 2021 It doesn't make sense now... In time we will all be convinced... We will all embrace the honored title... CHUCK NORRIS!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Axel No. 3 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I prefer a title to a nickname: Oregon National Champion Coach Dan Lanning. I know it's a lot of syllables, but I like the sound of the thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiseKwacker No. 6 Share Posted December 31, 2021 "Danimal!" That made me laugh out loud. Reminds me of a nickname from a movie, but, for the life of me, I can't recall the specifics. Anyway, Googling the name only got me to this: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Moderator No. 7 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Willie Mays was the "Say Hey Kid", Lou Gehrig, "The Iron Horse" But Alex Rodiguez? The best that could be come up with is A-Rod? King James is actually kind of clever for Lebron. Wilt the Stilt worked for Chamberlain The baseball Cardinals had Stan the Man, and of course, The Wizard of Oz for hall of fame shortstop, Ozzie Smith, A while back, it wasn't his nickname particularly but latracey came up with The Lanning Strip. Very good one I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 8 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I want to say danimals were a type of yogert thing from the 90s. I'm not a 100% sure but it sounds familiar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Marsh No. 13 Share Posted December 31, 2021 YEP...Danimals is the name of a yogurt-smoothie thing... I think I can pass on this nickname for Lanning. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woundedknees No. 14 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Long as it somehow leads to opposing coaches muttering, "DanMitAll!" Repeatedly on the sidelines, I'll be happy to call him RESPECTED... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUCati855 Moderator No. 15 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I'm sure Robert Griffin III can make lots of things rhyme with Dan. We should ask him for help. He loves one syllable words. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll share it with Coach. lol But, outside of the yogurt, as a coach he is an animal on that side line, so Danimal works for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCDuckfan No. 23 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Hey Charles, as an aside and not meant in a disrespectful way at all....can we stop with the MC articles now that the season is over and he is officially an element of history. I say this because the top article is and the associated picture is of the Miami head coach versus articles and associated pictures regarding the very bright future heading our way under DL. Thanks...again, no disrespect intended...just asking if we can move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 24 Share Posted January 1, 2022 This comes down to what the writers want to write, and I don't tell them which topics to cover since...they are volunteer. But I doubt you would see much more since we are all feeling ready to move on. Today's writer had a good message to deliver and it did help me as well in the process. I can promise you that tomorrow's article has nothing to do with him. (Since I am the writer!) No sweat. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
