Regardless of your opinion of Vucic, that is not what this thread is for, he needs a nickname! So, I'm having a contest.
SectionEE's nickname Hrvoje Vucic contest will go from 12pm on July 13th and end on July 17th at 9pm Central Time. In order to submit a nickname you must "Like" the SectionEE Facebook page and put your entry there. Find our Facebook page by clicking https://www.facebook.com/pages/SectionEE/158225824249360 (https://www.facebook.com/pages/SectionEE/158225824249360) The winner of the contest will receive a brand new travel mug with the "Valpo fund" logo on it. I'm sure this will be a highly coveted prize, so take some time and come up with a good nickname for our Croatian big man!
We always just called him "Vuc" (pronounced like "Duke" but with a V) on campus...although that's probably because no one knew how to pronounce the rest of his name.
I don't do facebook, so I can't officially vote but my vote is for "Bob". It's kind of like calling a big guy "tiny". Since Hrvoje Vucic is so difficult, what could be simpler than "Bob". That's my .02
we can post it there for you..."Bob" it is
Since a shorthand for his name sounds like Hrv V, I'd suggest "Harvey" as a nickname, just like the very tall and invisible rabbit, a mythical pooka, who accompanies Jimmy Stewart's character in the classic "Harvey" movie.

Why not do a poll here on the message board? Get some suggestions, then post a poll, and let the posters/trolls vote here.
well we will probably put the suggestions on the blog and have the voting take place there
