COLLEGE STATION -- The supposed backstory of how John James Fisher Jr. came to be known as "Jimbo" is quaint and, for the most part, plausible.
The little tale is clearly detailed, unequivocal as could be, on Fisher's Wikipedia page. Thus it has been retold as gospel on goodness knows how many websites and radio stations and maybe even on TV.
"Fisher earned the nickname 'Slim Jimbo' because of his affinity for meat snacks. He has mentioned in numerous interviews that he wishes to launch an organic jerky company after he retires from coaching. The company would feature jerky made from animals native to both the Deep South and his native West Virginia, such as alligator, muskrat, and wild boar.
