Here's some informational tidbits I didn't know:

The black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is the longest venomous snake in Africa, averaging around 2.5 meters (8.2 ft), and sometimes growing up to 4.3 meters (14 ft). It is the fastest snake in the world, capable of moving at 4.32 to 5.4 metres per second (16–20 km/h, 10–12 mph). The black mamba uses its speed to escape threats, not to hunt prey.[1] It is known to be capable of reaching speeds of around 20 kilometers per hour (12 mph), traveling with up to a third of its body raised off the ground.[1] Over long distances the black mamba can travel 11 to 19 kilometers per hour (6.8 to 12 mph), but in short bursts it can reach a speed of 16 to 20 kilometers per hour (9.9 to 12 mph),or even 23 kilometers per hour (14 mph) [8] making it the fastest land snake.[9] It is shy and secretive; it always seeks to escape when a confrontation occurs. this species is much more venomous than the King cobra, more venomous than all known cobra (naja) species. Black mamba bites can potentially kill a human within 20 minutes or less[21][22][16][23] depending on the nature of the bite and the area bitten, but death usually occurs after 30–60 minutes on average.

The name is tainted because Kobe Bryant ruined it. He stole it from Kill Bill.

 

Agree! He needs his own nick name.

What is the Pac 12 record? NCAA record?

 

I think they should call him 2 Step.... Miss him on the first step.... the second.... He's GONEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

 

The greatest nickname of all time was The Gentleman. I wonder how Remene Alston is doing...

 

Answered my own question...

I like Black Mamba. It's fitting. Not everything can be original. DAT wears it well - he's shy, reserved, fast and deadly.

Anyone just smile when he scored that TD in the corner of the EZ and mowed the ASU DB over, then gave him a little extra something while on top of him? Love that kid of fire. Or Grasu and Asper were showing a lot of fight and sticking up for their fellow player against ASU's cheap crap. Really starting to admire the rs-FR toughness.

 

you meant true freshman toughness

 

LaMichael James had 1712 All Purpose yards his freshman year.
