Yep. It is a real contest. Name of the Year is a group that was founded in 1983 and every year they pick the best name. I guess once you’ve been in the contest, you can’t be again….. who knows.
Anyway, Barkevious Mingo the new LSU Tiger linebacker has won it. We knew the name was awesome when we first started hearing about him in the recruiting season. He will join the team this summer I believe. In this contest, he was up against names like Chew Kok…..really?!?, Atilla Bucko, Taco Vandervelde, Crystal Metheny, and Nutritious Love. I know, I can’t believe those are names either.
The names are arranged in a 64 name name-off like college basketball. Once it was down to two, Mingo was up against Iris Macadangdang. LOL! Over 10,000 people voted.
Here is the rest of the story from the LSU Reveille.
GEAUX TIGERS!!!

L…O…L! Macadangdang?!? Taco?!? Nutritious?!? Sounds like an order at Taco Bell. “umm, yes, I would like a Nutritious Taco with a little extra Macadangdang sauce please, thank you” LOL!
that’s some funny shit….Macadangdang sounds like it’s located off the coast of Thailand…and seriously every woman must Chew Kok more
