What's the story behind your handle?
Mar 2, 2017, 9:07 PM
|
|
I see some unique poster names that suggest some meaning of importance.
I'll start with exsitu panthera which roughly means off site conservation of tigers. I moved from the upstate to the lowcountry and found myself surrounded by coots, out of my natural environment, and surviving the five streak. In addition, I added three more tigresses to the fold.
How about them Tigers!

I don't have any kids of my own (very much by design) but have 3 nephews. One (10 years old) that absolutely lives & breathes Clemson Football. He's my little coach buddy. Really cool post man. I look forward to seeing some of the responses.

Well, the 21 is the year of my birth, 1921. That would put my current age a bit over 39 and still just a kid at heart.

I also root for my tigers in good times and bad. I try to stay positive even when we have a bad season. I am not a fair weather fan--hence ALLweatherfan. Disclaimer: I left early from the NC State game in 95 because I had the flu.

Well my real name is Bryant, joined a club sports team my freshman year, wore 24 and they all called me Kobe (not hard to figure out why). The name stuck and now almost everyone that I know from Clemson calls by Kobe.

I'm from the Lowcountry and was going to go with "Swamp Fox", but it was already taken. So in a very unoriginal move, I went with Francis Marion, never considering that was also the name of another school.

Actually I thought it might be hard to come up with a Clemson specific username on a Clemson site and the first thing I thought of was Agent Orange. Then Ancient Orange kinda sounded the same and was unique and not as grim so I went with it.

Years ago I owned a 2005 Kawasaki Meanstreak motorcycle and I called it The Streak. So - Streaking Tiger.
I need to change it since I've owned 2 different bikes since then. Sometimes I use Viffer (not here) for VFR800 Honda, commonly called a Viffer. Lots of people use Viffer though. Maybe it's time to ask the mods to change it to something different. I'll add that to my list of Things To Do.

CU? Self-explanatory. All-in fan & Clemson alumni.
Yankee? Born & raised in New York, the first time I'd ever been called one was in Clemson. And given some southern folks' propensity for using the word to describe / insult anyone north of the Mason-Dixon Line, I proudly proclaimed myself as such.

Is PR for Pershing Rifle? I was a Pershing Rifle my freshman year in '68. I couldn't keep up my grades and do that too, so I had to give it up. Heck - I couldn't keep up my grades even without that, but just a good excuse.

Mine is my initials and 92 has always been my number since I was young. A guy used #92 who drove my grandpa's race car when I was a kid and I idolized him back then. My grandpa was #78 and my uncle used it too so when I raced go karts and cars #92 was my number. That's all.

lswann@clemson.edu - Back then you gave out your email quite a bit so people would call me lswann. I made it official and created the alter ego - El Swann.

My handle is the username that Netscape gave me with my first email account, so I used it when I created my TigerNet account in 1999. Not very interesting or important!

It's my last name and the year I graduated
Mar 2, 2017, 10:49 PM

I grabbed the name in January of 1996 while it was still available. I was a Tigernet reader from the first days in 1995 but didn't need a name until I started posting on the original board.

My name is a reminder to me how I want to live much like the players pick a word to live by, I picked Name Humbleservant, here's an explanation of the meaning.
James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Jesus himself is the ultimate example of humble servanthood. Philippians 2:7 says he emptied himself of his glory and took on the form of a servant (literally a slave) to become one of us:
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. (Philippians 2:5–7)
In fact, life's greatest meaning and reward are found in this kind of servanthood. The Christian life is not about God serving us and making everything perfect for us.
No, it's about us serving God by becoming a humble servant to others rather than being religious and judging others by law, when JESUS came to be our servant he was a humble servant to us by Giving His life so we could live covered by His Grace despite our failures and sin, if we trust in Him.
If you look for the happiest, most excited people, you'll find the ones who are serving others to make their life better, they are "Humble servants" an I want to strive to be like Christ.
I have used this name in my email and online gaming. I went by Phinman or Phinstigers on sega Dreamcast, PlayStation and the Xbox online gaming and many early online gaming '98 - '02. In 2000 I had calling to give my all to Jesus and that's when I picked Humbleservant to remind me whom I belonged.

Technician in the upstate of SC for a service company. An A- Tech, meaning top of the line for my field o trade for years. I thank God for it, so I'm humble about it. So, there is ATech. 40 year Clemson fan, family worked in Clemson 25+ years on campus. Lifelong Clemson Football fan, ticket holder in the 90's, wen you could afford them. Anyway, I don't post a lot, but when I do, I try to bring something meaningful to the table, wearing orange tinted glasses.

Late 50s early 60s, my dad would take me through Fike to look at pics of players on the walls and our bowl trophies. That football made of gator hide just fascinated me. Gatorbowl became my favorite bowl, usually involving two southern teams.

Combination of the iconic Pink Floyd album and the "Moo U" jokes from chicken necks. Found a cow head pic that was shaded on one side and kept working with it until it had a very "dark side".

Alex when he was a kid and 31 was one of his little league baseball jersey numbers. He opened this account when he was 13 and never used it so i did. And neither of us are actually "big". I'm about 5'9" 190 lbs and he's about the same.
Apologies to bigal1, one of the charter members of Tnet. I offered by Tmail years ago to start over with a different handle, but he didn't respond so i kept it.

Grew up near Clemson and grandparents owned a farm there. A life long Tiger and saw many great games as a child, but attended Wofford for an under grad degree. Made way back to Clemson for a Master Degree and my grandmother's biscuits. Chose "awoffordterrier" as a handle because all the great Tiger ones were taken.

And having a big brother (who wrote articles and took pictures for Tigernet...Tommy Hood) throughout the years it just became a nickname for me.

Well Tigeroftheeye was a play on eyeofthetiger. Crump perma banned him Tigeroftheeye1 was my name after Crump un-perma banned me (now Im referred to as TOTE1 bc of this) im4CU was my 1st scok. I'm for Clemson University Then there was jbuckland. A scok I obtained and just thought hey I'll be J. Buckland. The J probably stands for John or James or Justin. IDK After that scok I had The Rally Bass which stemmed from the bass seen at the GT game in 2015 Then came variations of my original name Toe Twan TOTE TOTE1 and Crump banned all of them too along with the perma banned of tigeroftheeye1 Now Im tigerstripes123 b/c it wasn't taken yet when I was looking for the next scok name. I tried to create H8n the other day b/c the jounge likes to pick on H8nusc. I was going to be his alter ego but it never got approved.

We all go through life with multiple identities. I combined my two favorite identities - proud '76 Clemson University graduate and grandmother of the seven smartest and most adorable tiger cubs ever born.

That being said, I though Clemson "joe" was a just a play on "average" joe and also I still couldn't buy beer when I came up with it so whattaya want from me?

"Pug marks" are the distinctive track made by an individual large cat (tiger,lion,leopard, etc), so-called by the professional hunters of Africa & India. Sorta like a finger print, they are unique to a specific animal. So that's a "pug mark" on the west end of the South Stands at The Real Death Valley.

Last name Calhoun, from Anderson SC, Clemson grad in 2002 (undergrad) and 2004 (grad)...then met a Jersey girl at Furman. Fast forward to 2017 and I've lived in northern NJ for over a dozen years. The best part is when I call to make reservations and they ask me how to spell Calhoun :-D

Grew up a Clemson fan, went to Wofford (needed the smaller school) and graduated in 2007.

Well, mine is kinda simple. My initials are BT, and almost everyone if my friends and coworkers call me "BT", so I just stretched them out and added Tiger to the end.

I am a son of a Tiger. I was raised in a Clemson home, however I did not attend Clemson because they didn't offer my major 45 years ago. I took the handle as a tribute to my Dad, Class of 48 who passed away six years ago. My 90 year-old widowed Mom still contributes annually to IPTAY...so I guess that's where my inheritance is going. Hmmm...I could then venture to say that I am "All In!". I am passionate about everything Clemson. My nephew attends Clemson.

I walked across the stage in 1988.

I came to South Carolina from Tennessee where I spent most of my life. I was a Vols fan but not a real fan at all. I came here looking for work and moved here with my wife and 5 children in ~'80-81. Work wasn't much better.
I enrolled in Clemson in '85 fall and crossed the stage in Aug of 88. I had another child during my Jr year and still another since then. During my first semester I began to learn just what a Clemson Tiger really is, I'm still working on living up to the identity. I had no idea it was a lifetime commitment and a process which so satisfies the soul.

With a basketball inspired name, because the press was the trademark at that time.
It's a special curse in life to love basketball and be a Clemson grad.

Easy. Had been reader for years but never poster. Had faith and new it was our year. Both a goal and reminder of where CU was headed and what CU would do there.
