Does anybody know what WINK means or stands for? Steve Francis has it embroidered on his arm-bands and even on his shoes.

"WINK" is a nickname his friends in Maryland
gave him. It comes from the fact that you wink your eyes and he's gone --- he's just that fast.

Thanks for the info Maryland fan! I also love Maryland, give me an e-mail at ajb4cmr@hotmail.com so we can talk. I haven't talked about the Terps in such a long time that it would be great to finally talk about them.

I think it comes from the expression "quick as a wink". Francis has a WINK sweatband while Mobley has a CAT sweatband, ie. "quick as a cat".

I think Wiz has one that say MOLASSES or something to that affect.

I thought the name "Wink" was something to do with his lazy eye?? Otherwise shouldn't it be "Blink", because I always though the expression was "In the blink of an eye" not "in the wink of an eye"
