and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I've had a fantasy team named Texas Chainsaw Massacre every year since 1988.
I'm not sure I like it as a name for our defense though.
I always wanted our defense to be the identity of our team and be known as
"Blue Murder".

Blue Murder sounds good to me.

Most of the other names seem reminesiant of youth soccer leagues.
 
nevermind. the nickname business is tough. takes real luck and imagination to find one that clicks.
 
Naming a defense has to be organic. It has to grow out of their performance on the field.

You can't name a defense before they have an identity. We are hoping that they will be good, but it is the first year of a new scheme and incorporating lots of new players not used to playing together. It is very possible it will take some time to gel.

Name the defense after they start destroying people.:cool:

I agree, but it's fun to toss some possibilities around.

How about "The Devil's Herd"?

More like fruity to me.

I wonder if anyoneagrees with me about the "Texas Cyclone" nickname?
 
Alright, to wrap this thread up. Officially, voters liked "Bull Rush" the best, however, a few other names like...

- Death Row (front 4)
- Texas Tornado
- Slaughter House (Reliant)
- Shock and Awe
- Asylum (Reliant)
- Blue Thunder
- Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- Blue Murder
- Blue Blitz
- Bull Pen
- Mad Cow Disease


...all got some play. While names are usually earned and spotaneous, it was interesting to here some of the ideas thrown out.

In the end, I thought about rodeo (of which I know nothing about) and Teddy Roosevelt (who I admire). So with those in mind, I like the ROUGH RIDERS as a potential nickname for next year.
 
Honestly this poll was a bit skewed from the start as you had 'Bull Rush' in the title and only 3 choices + other. You should have asked for suggestions first then ran the poll -- not that this poll is binding anyways. :)
 
MEAT & BREAD!!!! I JUST LOVE THAT NAME... MEAT & BREAD!!! That's our Defense!! nothing fancy...... just get it done BABY!!! :whip: :tease: :hunter: :shots:

And I thougth I was being original. You beat me to it.

As I posted on another thread "Madman Mario and the Texan Asylum"

At least I know it'd get 2 votes.
 
Naaaah,
How about "Ryans Raiders" or "Ryans Rawhiders" in favor of DeMeco Ryans (or something along that line)
I know, I know...it's corny, but then this whole thing is too...
 
Let's not forget the first defensive powerhouse we had...Dunta Robinson.

How bout Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood. Hey there everybody...welcome to Mr Robinson's neighborhood. Can you spell Cranial Cavitation? Say hello to my new friends...Mario, Demeco, and Li'l Anthony. Can you say Train of Pain? Sure you can.

Man he's leveling that guy. If not a knockout at least a TKO.

If you say his name 3 times fast it makes the theme from Jaws right before the shark attacks.

Awesome. They should play that over the speaker system when he takes the field, like the Killer Bee's ditty they do at Minute Maid Park.
