Let's try to prune the list a bit:

  • Orange Reapers, Circle of Death, and Killer V's are all out. First time a kid on the opposing team goes down with a serious injury, any name talking about death or reaping is going to be deep-sixed really fast. So no need to even try those.
  • Brick Hit House is funny, but won't endure...commentators trying to explain it on TV will see it die early.
  • Bricks N' Licks is too esoteric.
  • Hard Knox is fun, but the Vols are so much bigger than just the town of Knoxville that this one loses meaning for many fans.
  • Agent Orange is really cool sounding, but don't need to remind a bunch of Vietnam vets about the toxin that screwed them up. So that's a no-go.

So that leaves Vol Wall and Smokey's Bandits. Which are both really awesome names that can stand wide public scrutiny, and both represent the school really well with unique hooks.

Maybe Vol Wall for the front four (+LBs), and Bandits for the DBs (+LBs).

Would love to see either of these adopted in some way by the team.

Sooo, does this mean we can't play Blue Oyster Cult during opponents injury timeouts ... "Don't Fear the Reaper!"

The guys on the defense are going with Orange Swarm ... just heard TKJr say so on a promotional video made during today's practice/family events. So 1-in-102,455 had it right early in this thread. :)

That's refreshing. I've been around my fiancée for so long I've forgotten what it's like to be told I'm right! :)
