I personally love Mike Tirico's idea today, as he refered to him as "Red Bull". Just fits perfectly, what do you think?

Posted by: BV1998 Apr 30 2006, 11:14 PM

I liked it

Posted by: TeaLeafReaderII Apr 30 2006, 11:39 PM

I've heard him called

Red Bull
El Torro
Raging Bull
Noch
Chapu

I think Chapu is what they called him in Argentina... I think it would be a real cool chant in the UC... bet it would really fire him up.

And that translates as?

While were at it lets give everyone a nickname. Red Bull was a good name.

Posted by: TeaLeafReaderII May 1 2006, 12:50 AM

someone in another thread said it was the name of an Argentinian superhero.

Posted by: Doze06 May 1 2006, 12:53 AM

Its from a mexican tv series (El Chapulin Colorado)

Chapulin is very similar to the bumble bee man on the Simpsons. It's incredibly popular in latin countries and the name translates to "the Red Grasshopper"

I like the Red Bull idea. Either way he's a freaking beast. I love Noc, Deng and Hinrich.

Posted by: Serbbojo May 1 2006, 03:45 PM

Noc has gotta be one of my favorite players, and prolly the biggest steal for the bulls since he went undrafted.

Posted by: bulls91 May 1 2006, 04:23 PM

i like all those names we just need every one in the UC to know what we are talking about so they chant along.

Posted by: punkalexa May 1 2006, 06:02 PM

Hey! Great idea that maybe Chapu would get him fired up! May bring good memories or something! Red Bull is also good! Oh this is difficult!

I Like the Red Bull but how bout... The Wreckless Warrior!!!!

Posted by: Doze06 May 1 2006, 06:35 PM

Ive heard people call him the Argentinian Animal.

Posted by: RoseAngelKH12 May 1 2006, 07:04 PM

how about "El Torro Rojo" (the Red Bull) in spanish.

coz' when i met Noc i spoke to him in spanish and well, for the ppl that talked to him in English he pretty much stayed quiet and hardly talked...........

Posted by: bschmaranz May 1 2006, 07:07 PM

If only he'd have kept his hair longer, we would be calling him Shaggy.

Posted by: RoseAngelKH12 May 1 2006, 07:09 PM

lmao !!!!!!!!!!! true.

Posted by: The Dude Abides May 1 2006, 08:49 PM

I like red bull and raging bull, but Chapu is really freaking cool. It honors his heritage and probably makes him feel at home.

Posted by: B-4-Bulls May 1 2006, 08:50 PM

The Big Red Machine!!!!

Posted by: bulls91 May 1 2006, 09:22 PM

i thin that it would get him fired up so he getter a trple- double every game like he can do. also i like that it is from his heritage so he will like it and not get offended by it and want to leave chicago my olny worry is that when his contract is up will he want to stay in chiago or will he want to go to a different team.

Posted by: B-4-Bulls May 1 2006, 09:30 PM

He wont ever be a TRIPLE DOUBLE threat because of his poor passing. Untill that changes I could see him being a Consistent double double threat night in and night out.

Posted by: southsider2k5 May 2 2006, 07:07 AM

I would go with Chapu too, but I don't know if anything would be cooler than the NO-CI-O-NI chants like they did last year. Spine tingling.

Posted by: punkalexa May 2 2006, 09:06 AM

when did you meet him??

Posted by: punkalexa May 2 2006, 09:08 AM

ME TOO! WHEN IS THE CONTRACT OVER?! I DON'T WANT HIM TO GO!

Posted by: TeaLeafReaderII May 2 2006, 09:18 AM

pfft.... you can get triple doubles with steal or block shots too....

Posted by: bschmaranz May 2 2006, 01:46 PM

I believe he's due for an extension after NEXT season.

Posted by: Balta1701-B May 2 2006, 02:29 PM

Sam Smith called him Chapu in the Trib today. That's officially going to wind up sticking.

Posted by: The Dude Abides May 2 2006, 03:27 PM

I really like chapu...as long as it's cool with Noch.

Posted by: RoseAngelKH12 May 2 2006, 05:05 PM

at the chicago auto show last February.........

Posted by: RoseAngelKH12 May 2 2006, 05:07 PM

Chapu is cool too......i like it coz' it would be something easy to chant......

CHA-PU !!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Balta1701-B May 2 2006, 05:35 PM

And most importantly, it'll confuse the Hell out of anyone who doesn't know the name.
