Default Utestar Jimmer

Not that it really matters much, but Jimmer's given name is James.

I was hoping it was The Jimmer. That's how I'll refer to him from now on.

If that is true, then he has signed off on being nicknamed 'Jimmer' and that is just sad. One thing that makes me sad is when a grown man goes by the names: Timmy, Joey and Billy. Cute, if you are 4. Sad if you are over the age of 4.

I guess Goat is right, maybe it is sexy. Think of the great line that his dad had built in: "Hey, want to meet my Jimmer?" "Wait till you get to see my big Jimmer." I guess the possibilities are endless and probably sexy for some people.

Meh. Sour grapes, I think. His name is fine.

My only problem - and I guess it's not really a problem - because of his name, I assumed he was a black kid before I saw him. A problem in the sense that I tend to think more positive about a recruit if I think he's black. So it was a bit of a letdown to find out he was just a white mormon kid living in NY.

Your Joey Lawrence poster is weeping right now. You've changed UteStar. You've changed.

You know what, the more I think about it, you are right. Jimmer is a fine name. Even though out of the 15 gazillion people ever born on earth, only 1 was named Jimmer, it is still fine.

The more I think about, the more I realize that the name Jimmer says a whole lot with just a simple name:
**It is mysterious--was he really a James? Or was he really just a Jim? Or is he really named 'Jimmer'?
**It is playful--nothing says 'I can play around and just be goofy' than a name like Jimmer.
**It shows a toughness--Seriously, with a name like that, you know he was beat up just about every single day. He had to get tougher.

I am mistaken. Jimmer is a great name. I looked at it with an undeveloped understanding of all the wonderful things that could be interpreted from it. I can't believe that I am saying this but YOhio, once again, you know me better than I know myself. Now I just have to remember to close my blinds in my bedroom tonight.
