Name my basketball team

Dudd · #1 03-18-2006, 04:02 AM

So, my school has a spring basketball tournament, 5 on 5, something like 500 teams each year. This is my third year playing, and every year we've had a lame team name, mostly due to my ineptness. So, I'm soliciting advice. Generally, we're a group of unathletic white kids who've managed to get a decent draw the first two years and win against some drunken girls teams and some terrible guys teams before runnning into teams with actual talent. Any thoughts? The only rules are nothing that has:

1. Instances of sexually explicit content.
2. Offensive substance regarding race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
3. Use of the names of those in the university community without consent.
4. Anything your mother would deem disrespectful.

I always name my FBB teams after something you'd see on an injury report.

The High Ankle Sprains
The Dislocated Knuckles
The Flulike Symptoms
The Jumpers' Knees
The Herniated Discs

Perhaps you'd enjoy getting on that particular train.

I like the Flulike Symptoms. Consider it done.

That was a special year for me; I recall the joy of "Andrei Kirilenko at the top of the third" like it was yesterday. Injuries and a couple of really bad trades made it an ultimately frustrating season, but hot damn did I unearth some sweet gems.

Anyway, word on carrying that banner. Ball hard or don't ball at all.

Filthy Sanchez and the Rusty Trombones, oh wait I just saw the rules. How about the Holy Rollers then? That's my default when a disrespectful name can't be used.

I guess I'm the only one that finds all of these to be overly embarrassing. I mean, if I wore a pocket protector, I might name my team something like this.
