A lucky group has come to notice that there is a section of the NFL website devoted to the students within the league. One area under Student Resources is the Student Challenge. Each month, this challenge will pose a question(s) to NFL students and the most interesting of the answers will appear in the Rostrum. This month, the NFL asked students to tell us "If their coach has a nickname." Here are responses received:

Anita from Pennsylvania
We refer to our coach as "Mom". She is always there for us in time of need. She has dedicated her life to helping us succeed in forensic and excel to the best of our ability just like a mother. She gives us the opportunity with her words of encouragement and advice to showcase our talents to the world.

Cornelius from Ohio
My speech coaches' name is YODA, because she knows all.

Dustin from Oklahoma
We call our coach Moo! She has an unhealthy love for cattle. Whenever we are driving to tournament early in the morning, she is always waking us up because she is honking at cows. She is awesome and wouldn't trade her for anything!!!

Jeff from Washington
We call our coach Beggs, because we found out that it is his middle name from looking in his confirmation Bible. Beggs is a great coach! Also the names Chaz, PDiddy and Chuck have been used to describe this bearded bafoon.

Adam from Kansas
His nickname is "shadow ninja" because we will be at a debate or forensic tournament and when we need him we won't be able to find him and then he will just appear out of the "shadows" as we like to joke about.

You can submit an answer to the current question by going to the Student Challenge page which is located in the Student Resources section. We look forward to hearing from more students!
