I have a question you should ask Jaggers.

Why does he go by "J" instead of "Jeff" -- as a sportswriter, I have to decide -- for consistency purposes -- what to stick with. Throughout the years I've covered events, I've always used his name as "Jeff Jaggers."

Is there a significant reason he elects to go by "J"

Just my two cents.

Excellent question. I'd be interested as well.

I may be wrong here (being from the opposite side of the state and all) but I recall reading somewhere he does it because his dad is named Jeff as well. So, to avoid any confusion he chooses to go by "J" instead.

On coverage...
Look for a Q&A interview with new Olentangy Liberty head coach Mark Marinelli (former head coach at Columbus DeSales)... and SW Ohio, we have not forgotten you, you're up next.

On the J...
I think Chris is correct. That's what I remember hearing. Of course, it might be also be because of T. Terry, a football player and wrestler at Chanel who started that "trend."

It was in a Cleveland Plain Dealer article saying he went by J because his dad is also named Jeff.

I am told that the nickname came about by accident...
A picture of him in the Plain Dealer said "J. Jaggers..." and people started calling him that
Just what I was told by J and T.J. Enright but that was my freshman year and they could have been messing with me...

Gotta love that Mr Jaggers set the record straight as I often wondered the same thing.
