And then there was Alabama Black Snake
Justin didn't want to get calls from outsiders (back in the days when we had phones in the dorm rooms), so he entered his first name differently in the ND directory. He was listed in the Notre Dame Directory as Alabama Black Snake Tuck.
Fast forward to the next year, when Terp and I moved into the room he had occupied the previous year. Tuck had given NFL teams that number to contact him and forgot to tell them he moved to a different room, I guess. So there we were, getting phone calls from NFL teams explaining to them, "No, Justin is in the ND directory, just search 'Alabama Black Snake Tuck' and you'll find his number."
