goEMAW, let me explain why Alex is a hero to the student section. He's an Everyman.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EverymanHe's there showing the guys that can't get the girls, the guys that have fun without constantly worrying about what society thinks about them, the guys that don't go out partying and sexing it up with every girl they meet, that we can accomplish something incredible.
He's a tribute to the guys who drive around the mall parking lot with the windows down blaring out Crocodile Rock, beat bumping, and singing at the top of their lungs. (true story)
You can hate all you want, but Alex truly doesn't care. His life and mine are fulfilling and we live each day to the most, regardless of how idiotic we look doing it.

apparently he already has a name. perhaps it can at least be changed to white sticks.
Yah, the team and coaches call him Stix. It's even on the practice schedule as "Stix." But he much prefers Pota, his HS nickname.
