Today’s important nickname news focuses on Texas A&M quarterback Kenny Hill, who needed approximately one start to surpass Johnny Manziel’s single-game Aggies passing record. Hill threw for 511 yards and three touchdowns in a 52-28 win over South Carolina on Saturday night, causing the Twittersphere to immediately brand him “Kenny Football” — a rather uninspired take on, well, you-know-who’s nickname. Kenny has already put the kibosh on the new nickname, instead bestowing the nickname “Kenny Trill” upon himself.
We don’t know what’s lamer: being stuck with a nickname previously assigned to Manziel, or concocting a nickname for yourself — especially after just one game.
