Ok, congrats to the Alabama fans for the great win on Saturday night....

I was sitting with more than a few fans and none of them could answer my question.....

Why do the call John Parker Wilson by his full name ALL the time?

We thought about starting a drinking game over it, but most of us had to drive home....

Can anybody help answer this all important question?

I think it's because his father goes by the name Parker Wilson that the QB uses his full name.

Using double names seems a little more common in these parts than elsewhere. My mother, aunt, and grandmother all regularly went by their first and middle names together, for instance.

Seems like I heard that he requested that he be called that. I think the kids also call him JP.

To keep him from being confused for Sarah Jessica Parker.
