I remember some commentary about it during the game last night but couldn't find it scanning the replay.
Yes I did a search on TexAgs. Yes I failed miserably if this is already posted.
BTHO vandy!

They tell the story every game. He is as tough as work boots leather.

Are you serious, Clark?

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)

He wears a suit of weathered boot leather and the finest boots with polished silver spurs. Been doing this since grade school and the name stuck.

He got booed at almost every game during his time at Virginia Tech, so Buzz made up the nickname to make him think the crowd was behind him. As his confidence grew, the moniker stuck.

The first practice he had with Buzz, he was so out of shape that he threw up multiple times. Despite that, he still went out the next game and put up 20. So, he "boots and rallys". Thus, the nickname. Surprised you didn't know this.

Also, his spurs go jingle jangle jingle. A lot of people overlook that.

He had a high school teammate that was talented but was a huge baby, always complaining to the refs, blaming teammates, etc, basically the opposite of Radford. His high school coach behind closed doors used to call them "Puss and Boots." Obviously nothing came of the other player, so now there's just Boots.

Tough as leather and boots are made of leather but so are saddles, and shoes, and holsters and such.
