In my blog post about Kenner League 7/25, both at The Voice and on this blog, I tentatively bestowed a nickname on Markel Starks, the speedy freshman point guard who will be coming off the bench: "The Stark Plug."
As I discovered through the Casual Hoya, ESPN was listening. A Hoya ESPN Insider report mentioned how Starks has already been given the nickname "The Stark Plug" from the Hoya faithful.
To the best of my knowledge, I am "the Hoya faithful!" The nickname is simple (word play), makes sense (Markel is pure speed and will be relied on for instant offense) and catchy enough to be recycled into multiple cheesy sports column titles (coming at you this fall, The Voice). I can picture Dickie V. screaming it to the point of nausea already...
