Defense Nickname?

[CornfromJar]

With all this positive talk regarding our defense... it just may warrant a nickname!

My suggestion...

Big Orange Wrecking Crew! or
Wrecking Crew (for short).

Hopefully, gone are the days of bend but don't break...
these guys are coming after your a$$. Not giving you an inch, won't make it to the 50, third down for what, gettin after it like a bunch crazed dogs, not playing around...
Wrecking Crew!

The Tennessee defense. I find the only good nicknames just come up in the moment, and aren't thought up ahead of time

For now this. Let them go out and make a name for themselves. It will happen on its own and it will be epic.

 

[MphsBlues]

No gain without pain

 

[orangeluvr]

Our D has yet to establish an identity, looks good on paper. :dunno:

 

[mommasvol]

Orange Swarm

 

[VolMax]

If they give up big holes and get gashed could we call them Orangina?

 

[Catbone]

The immortals

Or the Immorals. We would have to re instate Jansen Jackson though

 

[IndianapolisVol]

Smokey's Bandits

Blue Ridge Blue Chips

Jancek's Juggernaut

The Street Vol'ers

 

[Other_Guy]

Shy's Guys

Put the fear into opposing offenses.

And with Butch in charge it's only going to get stronger. Remember the viedo when Butch took over from Doolittle. He was running close to Pig Howard and yells I am 45 years old and in better shape than you. lol:

Right? It could be something cutesy or whatever but sometimes it's the attitude of the defense or offense that earns the name. Like, you can't call them the "Sack Pack" if they don't sack a lot of people. Vol Wall's a good try but doesn't indicate anything about the D. Everyone'll want to make it about bricks because bricks. You could spend all offseason trying to make something out of bricklayers or masons or get all meta and reference the Wall from Game of Thrones with the Orange Watch or ... well, it's basically whatever someone says that happens to stick at the right time. I dunno. All it takes is one player saying "we took a big orange hammer to them" in a postgame interview and next thing you know it's the Orange Hammer all season. It's ephemeral and very hard to predict or force. Remember Fulmer and "The Rock"? That actually wasn't even a bad idea, but Fulmer tried to force it. Had he just started saying "the Rock" without asking the fans to do it, it would have stuck. I can almost guarantee it would have stuck. But such is the fickle life of nicknames. Probably not worth trying to coin in advance.

That was used in 2012

 

[nash101]

Don't try to name them before the season

Last couple years there are threads for our WR corps etc and they don't quite live up to the hype nor warrant a nickname. If we have an epic defense the names will follow based on the on field performance
