The Big 10 is really, really bad at naming stuff

[SuperD]

According to this tweet the new Iowa-Nebraska trophy game will be called 'The Heroes Game'. Pretentious much?

well, they couldn't call it the corn-wheat game could they?

The Chex Mix?

 

[CUFan]

The Meth Matchup

 

[Lt.Col.FrankSlade]

So we've got Legends, Leaders, and now Heroes...

 

[NashBuff]

If you read the stuff on the Husker website, you will see why they came up with the name. They will create a new trophy for that game as well.

"Pig ****ers R-Us" Trophy was already trademarked.

Big 10 sucks at spelling.

[MrFrumpylane]

Can you let us know so we don't have to go over to their site?

Soo Wee, not Souv Wee. Although, personally, I prefer the latter.

In the Big 10's defense both "James Westfall" and "Dr. Kenneth Noisewater" were names that were already spoken for. Helluva trophy though.

What are we going to call our game against Utah? Battle of the iron snowball?

Rocky Mountain Showdown sounds pretty good...oh wait. I dunno what about something about the Great Divide.

I prefer to name it after something a little more conceptual and pretentious.

Nuclear Fusion Game, maybe?

The Gnar Pow Bowl

It would make sense to switch the name over to CU-UU, I mean.. the rammies don't even showup.

 

[MrFrumpylane]

The Face Shots Bowl

fify

Isn't that illegal in Utah?

I'm a rep whore. The Brian Fantana Memorial Trophy.

 

[BehindEnemyLines]

They should play for the Rusty Tractor trophy.

I was thinking something like these:

 

[Dark Bohner]

Nub-Iowa: The Cornhole Bowl
Col-Utah: Rocky Mountain Bowl(kind of a wordplay on skiing)

 

[SuperiorBuff]

The Real Rocky Mountain Showdown

 

[Darth Snow]

Snow Bowl :smile2:

 

[absinthe]

The "Cornfrontaion"

 

[dply]

The "My sister is purdier than yours bowl"

 

[leftybuff]

The corn wheat bowl? Why not call it the Beer Brewer's matchup? The B10's naming policies are only slightly better than the "Let's Go Rammin" crap csewe came up with....
