There's More To Beathard Than C. J.


By RONALD WESLEY MALY

A friend of mine asked today if C. J. Beathard is the Iowa quarterback's real name.  


Casey Jarrett Beathard
It took me a a few minutes to find out.
 
And, yes, there's more to Beathard's name than C. J.  

His full name is Casey Jarrett Beathard. 

C. J. can do whatever he wants with his name, and I'm sure he'll answer to whatever you call him. 

Well, most things.

But if it were me, I'd want to be called Casey Jarrett Beathard.  

Similar, in a way, to Ronald Wesley Maly. 

By the way, Casey Jarrett Beathard's dad is country music songwriter Casey Michael Beathard.

So the kid, who happens to be the best quarterback in the Big Ten Conference and one of the best in collegiate football, can't exactly be called Junior. 

He's probably happy about that.

And another by the way....C. J.'s mother is named Susan.
