Uh ... no. His name is Robert Hebert Jr. "T" is short for "petit" in French which means "little" so it's like saying "little" Bobby.

Oh well, I'll cut the writer some slack but that IS kinda ignorant ...

Yeah people don't realize it's a French thing. Some people don't want to name there kid Bob Jr. or Bob II so the solution? T-Bob.

Why do we as a fanbase seem to get all butthurt about retarded yankees? And yeah I get it, theyre not yankees in the pure form, but as my dad says, everybody north of I-10 is a damn yankee to me.
Does anyone in Louisiana really need the explanation as to why the dude is called T-Bob? SCREW EVERYBODY BUT US!
We Are LOUISIANA folks. We are almost everyones a-hole. Im at Fort Polk, and I have to defend my state daily to these candy asses who cant take the heat, cant find meat and potatoes, cant have a clam bake, cant understand why we spell it 'geaux', ad nauseum.

Bottom Line, I repeat, SCREW EVERYONE BUT US.
GEAUX TIGERS.

P.S. Is it just me who cant understand why everybody is all over Ole Piss' nuts?
