The Big 12’s Best Names

Related Topics: Big 12 Conference

Looking at you, Buck Major.

Everybody loves super cool names. Especially those of us who have boring names. My name is Chris, which is a fine name. But it was also one of the most common names. That makes it kind of boring. My last name is Wolff. My parents could have played off that, and given me a super intimidating football name.

Timber Wolff, Grey Wolff, Maverick Wolff, Big-Bad Wolff. You get the picture. If I would have gotten a name like that, who knows where I would be today. Probably a Big 12 football player.
