That ESPN article pained me. Oh, what could have been.

I blame that tanking solely on an offensive coordinator who, once Seneca was neutralized by faster squads, failed to adapt. The 2003 season just went on to confirm this.

When Marcus Fizer came to Iowa State he signed every autograph Marcus "Hollywood" Fizer... I believe this was self-proclaimed, by the time he left ISU, he no longer used that nick name.

Fizer's Hollywood nickname was probably something that was dropped fairly quickly at ISU. I still can't find any reference to any type of nickname and that is after scouring old Chicago Bulls message boards as well as European message boards for the various teams Fizer has played for. Fizer has blown out his knee at least 3 times, which will probably doom his chances of getting back into the league, but the Europeans love him. Youtube always has a lot of videos of him in the various leagues overseas. But I did find out a few interesting things...

Kantrail Horton is ripping up the New Zealand league (with picture).

Michael Nurse has had a pretty solid career that might be petering out. He had a lot of luck in England and his last two teams were Finnish and Spanish.



So, anyone else out there who might know Fizer's nickname or name he went by at ISU? It could be argued that Marcus could be his nickname as that is his middle name. (Darnell Marcus Lamar Fizer.)

On a related note, wasn't Kantrail's nickname at ISU pitbull or bulldog or something similar?

Again, thanks for those who can help out!!!

Wow, Kantrail looks like he's gained a little weight... I never was slim by any means but he wasn't nearly that heavy in college. Then again the same can be said for a lot of us too probably!
