1. The term "swoll" originated from a "Garage-Based Power" lifting website that primarily featured what former CSU linebacker?

Luke Mueller. While the "Mule" looks very, well, swoll, in photos on the website…we find the site to be mildly disturbing.

Go Duke. He took the term "swoll" from the garage-based power website, and the term "cracker" refers to his whiteness.

When CSU athletic director Mark Driscoll told a group of golfers following the Denver Ram Club golf outing in May that his wife often gets mad at RamNation posters for making fun of Mark's hair, Good SHEP told Mark that she'd really be mad if she knew we had a poster who posts under the name ___________?

Denver Dave, who single-handedly, helped bring in five new Ram Club members this year thanks to his generous incentives.

18. Who does BVP4Heisman refer to as Professor Sandbags?
