POLL: The Death Zone

[CallMeADawg]

It’s fine. They can be called the banana slugs for all I care as long as they win.

That's right .Call us in your face as a Team Defense. I'm so impressed seeing the Team getting stronger each game.I believe in Geno getting it done with the whole team having his back and he has theres

I'm fighting the urge to buy "Death Zone" merchandise.

I heard jones mention it’s their mentality when teams are trying to score. It wasn’t a reference to a “nickname” they are entering the death zone.

Getting Ngigy with it?

The Durde Dozen. Death Zone is worse than Washington Bullets. Never fly in today's world. Good thread. I was looking for the same.

I get that you're trying to do a play on The Dirty Dozen, but the defense would get a penalty on every play if it tried to have an actual dozen on the field.

A buddy of mine went to college at UCSC.

I went to college with a guy from Montana who said he played for the Sugarbeeters:

Meet the Sugarbeeters, Montana’s best (not fiercest) mascot

There was never really any question about what the top mascot would be in the state of Montana. No one ever had a chance to unseat the Sugarbeeters. In USA Today’s top mascot competition, the Chinook (Mt.) High Sugarbeeters ran away with the competition, blowing past the two other notably odd...

You can't force a nickname.

[Chukarhawk]

That nickname is LAME.

 

[Fresno Hawk]

I just dont feel like they need a nick name right now.

 

[Seahawks fan]

Hate it...

I don't like that either, a DC in name only doesn't have my vote.
I'd rather go with the Mad Mac D.
