Nice ESPN fluff on Eddie McDoooooom
Nice fluff on Eddie, his family's background, meaning of his surname ("You're Doomed"), and his dad might be a comic book hero come to life.

His dad should be required by law to open Master McDoom's Shaolin Temple.

Then I read the article. That phrase could be an MGo shirt, with a jet making chemtrails across the typeface.
Also maybe the "Go"...."Blue"...."Go"...."Blue" chants at the stadium can be replaced with "Wu"..."Tang"...."Wu"..."Tang" if McDoom becomes a superstar.

I like Eddie McDoom...I hate ESPN.
November 10th, 2016 at 2:48 PM ^
mind ESPN once you get by the front page stuff. There are a bunch of pretty good writers on the sport specific page.

"McDoom" would mean something like "Grandson of a Terrible Fate," though "Mc" is a gaelic prefix and "Doom" is a germanic word.

He imagines that the Irish and English who came to the Caribbean had some influence on the spelling, which can be found on many islands in the area and in parts of South America’s northeast corner. One theory posits that the name is an anglicized version of a village in Guyana.
I remember being curious about the last name some time back and searches actually tend to support the notion that it is a bad Anglicizing of a Guyenese village name, Of course, many Americans of Scandanavian, German and several other origins can attest to the strangeness of the Anglicized name as well, more evidence that English has traditionally been good at ruining otherwise awesome names.

Thank you for adding extra Os to MCDOOOOOOOOOOM. It's really the only proper way to pronounce it

I thought to myself, "That can't be a real name."
McDOOOOOOM

Need to get this man a touchdown this week. He's been electric all year. We should have kept using him against MSU in the second half a few weeks ago.

Every single time his name is mentioned, my wife expresses her desire for him to get his PhD.
November 10th, 2016 at 3:22 PM ^
Dr. McDoom has a nice ring to it

...that "upvote for your wife" has been written in an entirely-appropriate context.
November 10th, 2016 at 4:21 PM ^
that Eddie is of Jamaican descent -- makes him <that> much cooler in my book.

He'll probably be the fastest "top dog" next year but not today with Chesson around.

Angelique smangelique! We dated back in the 90's. Think it was her anyway? Very excited for this offense though next year. I'd say the only position group to take the setback would be O-line. Yeah UM loses a lot of senior starters but many good smart and talented players in the wings. Ohio State cant say that. They have fast and talented. Not intellient. After looking at the roster and what not, talent wise I think next years team can be about as good as this team. They will be a better team if JABRILL comes back!!!
