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 anecdote 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.
