As we get set to play another round of 33 here at the 400lb office, I'm starting to think my one-man wrecking crew of a team should have a moniker. The past few days I have been doing work for a new client involving a lot of sports teams. Mostly database entry, which entails entering all of the teams nicknames. Now, there are a lot of NCAA Division 1 teams to enter, so naturally i'm running across some names that strike me as... odd. There are team names that belong to a different era, like the Commodores, Volunteers, Boilermakers and Trojans (a much earlier era than most!); teams that represent the various wildlife that inhabits (or inhabitted, as is the case with a lot), such as those omnipresent Bearcats of Cincinnati, the Bulls that run in South Florida, and the notorious Tigers that roam Missouri. Others are just plain Biblical: Demon Deacons, Blue Devils, Sun Devils and Friars will all add insult to injury by sending you to eternal damnation on top of a 35-14 loss. I can't wait to start digging up smaller conferences for some real treasures! I think I might settle on Golden Eagles, with the hopes that I can copy one of Clint's dunks.
