I agree!! Days before hand! He wants to be THAT GUY!
- You name the "The Official (or unofficial if you're not qualified - which you aren't)
This is how you make them
- You name the "The Official (or unofficial if you're not qualified - which you aren't) Kentucky (nickname optional here ex. 'Wildcats') vs. (The) Tennessee (Volunteers - once again 'the' and 'Volunteers' options) game thread". Now, you may insert 'Basketball' before game thread - but I wouldn't advise it since basketball has its own forum - it was advised before when it was all in the main forum.
Other ways you may do it is change the "vs." part depending on if its home or away. If it's at home I'd recommend leaving it as "vs." and listing Tennessee second but I guess you could insert "at" instead but still leaving Tennessee as the 2nd team. If it's away you could list 'The Tennessee Volunteers' first and then insert 'at' instead of 'vs.' - (ex. The Official(Unofficial) Tennessee Volunteers at the Georgia Bulldogs game thread). That's optional but the 'vs.' format always looks the best imo but the 'at' obviously clears up whether the game is home or away.
Mine typical go (now that we have a basketball forum) - "The Official Kentucky Wildcats vs. The Tennessee Volunteers game thread".
There you go - now you know how to make a game thread - also - try not to make the game thread until the actual day of the game. You could make discussion threads in the days leading up to the game if you want to prevent clutter in the game thread.
Follow these rules and you'll soon be a game thread making super star - but then you'll quickly retire from it after about 5-10 game threads. This should be stickied.
You could've stopped there. But good job...
Nothing against the original poster, but has he even hung around and actually talked basketball with anybody?
Start a thread, (of course knowing it will be successful since you dub it the game thread), but stay around and bring something to the table besides just starting the thread. After a little while maybe you could be qualified like Bassmanbruno spoke of...
Honor the Tradition !

Edit: this post is meant to be taken lightly - but seriously, that's how you should name your game threads.
