MY FAVORITE SPORTS NICKNAME.

MY FAVORITE SPORTS NICKNAME. Yahoo!Answers yesterday had this answer to the question “Is there a word without vowels in it?” Many of them have a “y” in them, but the words “cwm” and “psst” are nominated. I was reminded of my favorite sports nickname. Bill Mlkvy was a star for the Temple basketball team—the Temple Owls—back in the fifties, and still holds the NCAA record for the most consecutive points scored without an intervening score by a teammate (54 in a row). Mlkvy’s nickname: “The Owl without a Vowel.”
