The nickname “Honey Badger”

His retirement today has reminded me of a rumor I’ve always heard, was the name started on the rant?

I actually think it was. There are several topics started on it.

Why not use Google search ? It gives you the answer and goes directly to the TD threads from 8-8-2011.

The story has been told many times, but it's incredible. That talk shows we talk about the honey badger, and they don't even know his name. ...
That's how you know you have a great nickname where people don't know your real name

“Look at that sleepy frick” lol

It was made here based on a meme of a flamboyant guy narrating honey badger nature videos.
True story.
True story.

I remember him saying John Chavis gave him the nickname
Posted on 7/23/25 at 7:12 am to Truama_dawg
I suggested the name to Mike Linebacker and told him to run with it.

I recall he didn’t really like the nickname at first. I wonder if he ever warmed up to it

Listening to 104.5 this morning, Hester and Flynn are saying that they have heard coach Chavis gave him that nickname after the West Virginia game. Several shout out to Mike linebacker on Tiger droppings though.

I would expect them to know the truth, they read TD.
Hell, I am sure the were posters for a while.

Chavis didn’t give Mathieu the nickname: after the WV game, he showed him the online video born from the original thread here on TD. The story is online here LINK

I remember him not liking it at first but then he saw the video and thought it was hilarious so he liked it after that.
