swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Seeing that Liberty and Coastal Carolina thread made me want to start a thread about what is the coolest college team name? Coastal is certainly right up there with the Chanticleers. But who else? As far as schools that are fairly close by, what about Lincoln Memorial? Love the name Railsplitters.

sixcat 2,916 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Wake Forest Demon Deacons! Interesting for a school founded in 1834 by Baptists. Until 1986, Board members were required to also be members of the North Carolina State Baptist Convention. The following is clipped from Wikipedia. In 1923, the Wake Forest football team defeated rival Trinity (later renamed Duke University). In the following issue of the school newspaper, the editor of the paper, Mayon Parker (1924 Wake Forest graduate), first referred to the team as "Demon Deacons," in recognition of what he called their "devilish" play and fighting spirit. Henry Belk, Wake Forest's news director, and Garrity liked the title and used it often, so the popularity of the term grew.

If you want to run it next year, volunteer to do it. Not meaning to be an ass towards you, but when Ryan left the building, there wasn't going to be a pickem at all until havok stepped up.

RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Amherst College Mammoths That's a fairly recent change from "Lord Jeffs." And for some odd reason, I like to think that a lot of Amherst guys gut pummeled just for playing under that nickname. I guess that's now the sole province of the Heidelberg Student Princes.

You do realize that one of the games that was in this week's chosen picks is being played right now as I type this, right? And yes, I did not post what everyone picked this week because of something called work. Canes00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
