South Jersey Bills Fan Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Why did they call Cornelius "Biscuit"? I have a guy in my office who looks just like him, but I don't want to call him Biscuit until I know how the name was originally coined. Thanks!

GOBILLS78 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 According to Wikipedia, it was a college nickname he was given due to his complexion. But, it's Wikipedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmjoyce113 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) I could be wrong but I feel like when I was little I heard that it came from him liking biscuits and syrup for breakfast. I have NO source for this. EDIT - I do have a source http://www.nytimes.com/1991/01/27/sports/super-bowl-xxv-notebook-first-4-team-super-bowl.html?pagewanted=2 "I picked it up in third grade," he said. "A bunch of my friends would be sitting around eating and after everybody else finished, I'd grab for the leftover biscuits. Then I'd get a big plate, pour maple syrup over it and sop up the biscuits with the syrup. I'm a country boy. I still love biscuits."
