The Official Greg Oden Nickname Contest
Whats up y’all.
As time has gone on, one thing I have noticed about Greg is that he does not have a nickname. I know some of you are saying that we need to wait till he actually plays a game, but we are not going to. The Official Greg Oden Nickname Contest begins NOW!
So here is what you win if we deem your nickname the winner. For local Oregon residents you will receive a pair of 300 level tickets to the game of your choice, and non residents will receive an Official BoomShakalaka shirt!
All nicknames have to be submitted either on the The Official Greg Oden Nickname Contest post on BoomShakalaka.org, or under the post at the Yardbarker. All entries have to be in by the 20th of March 2008.
Here is some inspiration for you all!

His nickname should be Zeus. Besides physical similarities, he is the God of Sky and Thunder—also appropriate.

Grady — because he looks like Grady from Sanford and Son

1. Young Moses (because Moses Malone looked 50 when he came in the league too)
2. Young ‘thuselah (reference to the biblical character Methuselah)
3. Hoya Destroya (just for that picture)
4. The Notorious G.O.

Geg Oden nickname “The Condor”
Historically condors were native to the columbia gorge. One came back and began to patrol the confines of the Rose Garden!

I like ” The Gorilla” He always hangs on the rims, he walks like one and he looks like one and it sounds pretty sweet, all pluses.

i think that the only apropriate nickname for greg o. would have to be nedo “neato” b/c that is his last name spelled backwards and sounds pretty cool
October 6th, 2008 at 7:54 am
i think it should be g to the o-state bc g stands for greg and o stands for oden and state stands for ohio state hands down that is the best name
