My wife has, and always will call him "Craft Macaroni and Cheese."

Oyster on 8 Nov 2012 - 7:52am #

I like it.

Last year it was reported that the team calls him cheese, why reinvent the wheel?

We may or may not have a "JUICE" box/costume for the TSUN game and we're considering making CRAFT macaroni and cheese boxes for basketball with a 4 on the back. The only downside is that the JUICE can be red, whereas to get the full effect, the CRAFT would have to be blue/yellow (*gags*).

You could use the colors of a store brand?

Cheez Wiz?

Around my house he is known as "the purse snacher." Dunno where that started, I think one of my kids.

How about "Beastie" after the Beastie Boys, 'cause "He's Crafty!"

buckifishr on 8 Nov 2012 - 9:51am #

Several of my friends call him Miller Genuine Craft.

i like buckeye burglar.... The Aaron Baron (or Red Baron)... Buckeye Burglar is still a good one.

BUCKI4LIFE on 8 Nov 2012 - 10:03am #

I call him ......... CH4RGE!!!!

So they have Aaron Craft as a THIRD TEAM Defensive All-American. I would like to meet 1 PG that plays better D than Craft.

The 2012 National Champions.

OSUStu on 8 Nov 2012 - 10:30am #

He is listed at third team All American. First team All Defensive Team. Need to look at the second list.

Is Daft Craft a compliment? I suppose if you mean to say insane, which is supposedly a slang meaning for daft, but that's for sure not the normal definition.

If it wasn't for that crappy grunge movie "The Craft", I'd put "The Craft" on the ballot.

Is that the girl that played Vickie Valencort in "The Waterboy"?

"Vickie showed me her boobies, and I liked them too!"

the "White Glove"

I came up with that last season; his on-the-ball D resembles Gary Payton (or maybe it was the other way around)

The Scarlet Fetter? A little too obscure?

Also was trying to think of some play on the Scarlet Pimpernel, but failed.

hodge on 8 Nov 2012 - 11:40am #

Why not Scarlet Fever?

Earle on 8 Nov 2012 - 11:48am #

Not bad, how about Scarlet Thiever?

buckeyeEddie27 on 8 Nov 2012 - 11:48am #

^ you might be on to something there. "Craft's got the scarlet fever! Look at those cheeks!" I can hear gus johnson yelling it now

I know there's a game saturday, and my ass will be there.

Oyster on 8 Nov 2012 - 11:53am #

I love his cheeks. That is part of the intimidation. The players are too busy looking at his cheeks and thinking 'What the heck is going on?', while Craft is stealing the ball.
