  8. This is STF patron saint Anthony “Big Ant” Ivory. So much of the site’s DNA comes from the crucial early decision to adopt him as the face of our organization. His girth alone was the genesis of the All-McDonald’s American concept. Here’s the description I wrote for him on our wiki: “Anthony Ivory is the patron saint of Storming the Floor. He stands as the inspiration for the STF All-Star team, which is populated annually by the five least likely-looking men’s basketball players in DI. The Washington, DC product signed to play Division I basketball at Temple University. He was officially listed at 6’10” and 350 lbs. This was almost certainly a case of underreporting. Big Ant didn’t make much of his time at Temple. When he wasn’t warming a considerable portion of the bench, he managed the following stat line: ‘05-‘06: 9 Games - 6 Starts - 4.6 mpg - 4/10 FG - 2/2 FT - 1.1 rpg - 2 blocks - 2 steals  ‘06-‘07: 9 Games - 0 Starts - 1.9 mpg - 5/9 FG - 4/5 FT - .6 rpg - 1 block - 1 steal Following the ‘07 season, Big Ant transferred to DII Bowie State University, where he majored in Graphic Design. We sure hope that’s working out for the big fella, because his tenure on the hardwood didn’t improve at all: ‘07-‘08: 5 Games - 3 Starts - 15 mpg - 13/23 FG - 5/9 FT - 3.4 rpg - 0 Blocks - 0 steals Big Ant doesn’t appear in any box scores for the ‘08-‘09 season, so we can only infer that his basketball career is over. The STF fascination with Big Ant can most likely be traced back to a series of emails from Marco’s uncle, who kept tabs on Ivory during his brief tenure in the Philadelphia area.”

  9. Oh man, I love this photo. A John Chaney goon is our patron saint here at STF. Those who only know us from Tumblr have yet to meet Anthony “Big Ant” Ivory, who was such a galoot he didn’t even last four years at Temple. Photo to come. ehasara: Goon Squad.
