John David Booty - Who is this guy?


Everyone knows he's slated to be the next quarterback in the storied history of USC. He follows Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart. I am not sure if there have ever been bigger shoes to fill.

What we need to answers on - in the comments is:
John David Booty is a long name to say. What will his nickname be? What will we say when we can only utter one syllable as we are screaming at the bar during a touchdown sneak that wins the game? Off the top of my head:

Booty?
JD?
Back Spasm?
Mom?

Anyway. Obviously from the comments..."Booty" is his name forever. Reminds me of the Beastie Boy track from Paul's Boutique.

Seems to have a solid arm, great understanding of the game, better mobility than Leinart (not a dual threat by any stretch of the imagination), and good head on his shoulder (read: hasn't raped, assaulted or taken money..yet) however the thing that bothers me is that he's only 6'2.

Being 6'2 in life is fine, above average. I am only 6' (on a good day) and I have no problem with my height. However, as a quarterback - to see over the linemen, every inch counts and being 6'2 is much shorter than the linemen. Therefore booty is going to need to roll out more and be much quicker.

Sure would be nice to have a dual threat but here's a good video of the good - hope there is much more to add to this soon!

His nick name is Booty. If you wore # 10 around campus last year you heard the chants already. This year he's wearing #10. Yes its the same.
