Official Kyle Kuric Nickname Vote Thread
Okay, let's put it to a vote. What should Kyle Kuric's nickname be? Many contenders in the thread started by loverofthegame.
Vote closes at 8 PM Wednesday night so we know what to call him during the game. Those who do not like the nickname can either take it up with Kyle himself, or call him your own personal nickname, or just keep calling him Kyle, literally whatever you want to do is fine.
Seriously, though, vote.

@sohl and i have been calling him "vanilla t-will" since last year
but i think he’s earned something more than that
Voted for The Wedding Krasher...
though I prefer The Crasher, there’s a bad taste in my mouth substituting Cs with Ks (brings up a certain person I’m working diligently to forget) and not sure how many outside this site would understand (no matter how hilarious) the Wedding aspect.
I know CardsFan922 is trying to bring this matter to a resolution, so I feel a little bad throwing another option into the mix, but I dig:
Kyle “Last Call” Kuric (because he IS going to close the place down)
How about KCure?
Like TWill….no? Ok. I know it sounds dumb but it’s easy to remember

Okay, late entry - Last Call (or Last Kall?)
Anyone who wants to vote for that instead of the ones above, reply with +1 to this comment.
Since Wedding Krasher was my suggestion (stolen from Web I think)
This vote does not count. Sorry.
I’m just kidding it does.
Ha!
I not only mucked up your poll but dissed your suggestion. I owe you a beer.

Ignore the comment I made further down the list. I didn’t read this option.

The Kure
“Show me, show me, show me how you do that dunk
The one that makes us scream,” we said
“The one that makes us cheer,” we said,
Our tourney hopes upon your head.
Show us how you do it, and we promise you
we promise that we’ll make a run with you
We’ll make a run with you.
Spinning in that dizzy hall
You kissed the glass, you took the ball
We dreamed of all the different ways
You had to make us gloat.
“Why are you so f—king great?” we said
“And won’t you ever know
That you’re our brother, too.
And Edgar’s brother too.”
You-oo-oo
Dancing in the toughest brackets
Twisting in the Garden
You’re just like a dream!
Last Call Kuric isn't bad.
Still think I might like “The Kure” a little better. Hard to say.
I’d been calling him K-Funk, if I called him at all.
e
Oh well
I guess my Whitey McJumpsalot was kinda shitty………….I vote “The Kure”. ahahhahaha
"John Wall Sucks!" Terrence Williams
I just thought of this one.
“Kyledriver”
I like it.
I think it’s catchy. Though I do like the Kure.

haha kyledriver has my vote. im sure he was kyledriving all night on saturday.
"The Kure" ??
Why is this popular? Not hating, just kurious. No real relation to Kyle or Louisville other than an all too obvious play on his last name.

My wife loves that band
I can’t stand it. Down with the Kure. Long live Batman. …or Skywalker.
by sarasota-card on Mar 9, 2010 9:41 AM EST up reply actions
Yes. We can build on this.
Down with the Kure, please.

The Kure hits on so many levels
1) Last name, duh
2) Quick, to the point, catchy
3) He was the cure for potentially losing against Syracuse
4) Just as "the Cure: was a group of reeeeally white kids who started a rock revolution. Kyle has started an awesomeness revolution.
5) He won’t be Kyle “the Kure” Kuric. It’ll just be one name, like “Prince” or “Madonna” or “the Zohan”. You don’t mess with the Kure.

Counterpoint:
1) It’s short, but so are several other (better) options
2) People rightly call Prince and Madonna by their “one” names, but this is sports, and player are ofter called out by their name with the nickname in the middle. Thus, Kyle “the Kure” Kuric is going to happen, and I don’t think I need to explain why that’s not good.
2) Rockers or not, the image and connotation of that band name is whiney, emo, fragile girly-boys. Kyle’s awesomeness can probably overcome a lot of things, but why saddle him with that baggage.

Countering my own counterpoint - apparently I can't count.
That second 2) should be a 3).

Kuric's favorite book...
http://www.uoflsports.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/kuric_kyle00.html
Books: Time Travel in Einstein’s Universe: The Physical Possibilities of Travel Through Time
Has this been brought up on CC before? I’m pretty sure it hasn’t—how did we miss that?
Also notice that he'd like most to meet
Nastia Liukin, a.k.a. hot American, Olympic gold medal gymnast. The man has excellent taste in women.
My respect for Kyle Kuric just increased 52%.

The Kure
Cards are Doctors of Dunk. Darrell was Dr Dunkenstein. Kyle is The Kure

K2
It’s simple, it fits, it’s mountainous, like the boy’s hops. Can’t believe you lame-o’s are voting for “The Kure.” WTF, geeks?
Down with the Kure. Booooo.
I voted Kyle Skywalker (my reasons should be obvious — check the previous posts), but there are several I would prefer to the Kure.
Batman – From the Bozich article:
Kyle is Batman, said UofL guard Peyton Siva. He used every trick in his utility belt. His vertical jump is 80 inches
If Siva gives someone a nickname, you should at least consider using it.
K2 is quick nd easy to say, like E5 and T-Will.
The Wedding Krasher is not, but it’s a kickass nickname. Maybe a little too inside-joke-ish.
Siva's not old enough
To understand that Garcia & Dean are Batman & Robin… so Batman’s already taken.
By the way, Kyledriver is very catchy… wish he drove to the basket more, then I’d be sold.
YES.
I see Kyledriver picking up steam. This needs to happen.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Mar 9, 2010 12:22 PM EST up reply actions
If you're adding late entries
you gotta give Kyledriver a shot.
I say open a new one with any and all late entries, then have a runoff with the top 2 or 3 from each poll.
I’m sorry…but how on earth is “The Kure” winning this thing….
That’s a terrible nickname, nicknames can’t be one syllable like or have the word “the” before them…
Shots, shots, shots, is the only one worse than the Kure…
Best ones: K squared, K2, Special K, Kyle Skywalker…the rest are just dumb…
WOW. 520 votes so far.
This poll is having better turnout than a presidential election.
Wait a second… Kuric for President!
Lets have a kick-off vote
We need to be able to vote-off the name we don’t like, that way we can get rid of “The Kure”.
"The Kure" is like "The Closer"
I don’t know anyone who says they watch it, but apparently it has the highest ratings on television.
by Mike Rutherford on Mar 9, 2010 12:44 PM EST reply actions
I’ve watched Burn Notice, but only the late night reruns. The star talks funny, Bruce Campbell doesn’t get enough time to shine, and the hot chick is scarily skinny and orange.
They gone have to stop sleeping on me one day.. I gotta be one of the best
About 3 hours ago by Eric Wright Cleveland Browns – Cornerback
Again, here's why "The Kure" must die:
I posted this earlier but I don’t want it to get lost in the shuffle:
- It’s short, but so are several other BETTER options.
- People rightly call Prince and Madonna by their "one" name, but this is sports and players are often referred to with their nickname in the middle. Thus, Kyle "the Kure" Kuric is going to happen, and I don’t think I need to explain why that’s not good.
- Sure, they were “rockers,” but the image and connotation of that band name is whiney, emo, fragile girly-boys. Kyle’s awesomeness can probably overcome a lot of things, but why saddle him with that baggage.
And furthermore...
4. Can you think of one The Cure song that would make a good soundtrack for an Anvillen video?
by sarasota-card on Mar 9, 2010 12:50 PM EST up reply actions
Just as importantly, is it something you could imagine Gus Johnson using?
by loverofthegame on Mar 9, 2010 1:04 PM EST up reply actions
HELL NO
5. The Kure is something Chris Berman would say. I’m imagining a half-disgusted Tom Jackson (“From…LOUISVILLE”) courtesy-laughing while rolling his eyes off-camera.

"Katie Kuric"
It [she] may not be sexy, but my brother was calling him that the entire SYR game, and it seemed to work . . . I don’t think we’re changing it now! Go CARDS!

Kyle's sister
You know that is his sister who plays soccer at U of L right? not just a tv personality
later entry: The Barn Burner?
I voted Shots and was dismayed to see it coming in so low.
Also: I was not a fan of The Kure to begin with, but hot hot’s Chris Berman argument convinced me that it needs to be dismissed.
My 3 favorites
1. Ko-Ko (a takeoff of White Chocolate)
2. Kangaroo (with big hops)’
3. Klutch (short for Klutch Kargo)
K2 should be K squared
The K2 did not get my vote because I like K small 2 representing the square root sign. If it is K then numeral 2 it sounds more like a mountain thing and thats for hippies, but if it is referring to K sqaured then that is a winner in my book.
Ask Kyle
Kyles friends back home call him K2. Why not name him after one of the most fearsome mountains in the world. If you ask Kyle that’s his pick.
