Nickname for the defense

[IslandEagle]

I think the defense deserves a nickname: How about "The Hit Squad"!

[EagleGreen]

I say, "slow your roll". Plus, "squad" has a flaming quality about it. They already have a nickname, "The MEAN GREEN D!"

[DeepGreen]

At one time it was "The Green Curtain".

[IslandEagle]

I remember that Phil. That would work as well. I like attitude on a team and this team has one and deserves recognition.

Toaster Pain ... either you toast us or we give you pain.

[Ibleedgreen]

Birds of Prey!!

[Gurleyman]

I think you should steal a little from the 60's LSU team and use "The Mean Green Chinese Bandits"

[FirefightnRick]

Isn't Mean Green enough? Our hard-hitting D in the 60s is what brought on that nick name. Use it.

The Green Tidal Waves, you might get by the initial wave(s)(first 10 minutes), but in the end your done.

The Mean Green D

[Travis]

How about the wrecking crew?

[Travis]

I have waited five long minutes and have yet to hear anybody say yes to my suggestion. I guess it was a bad one. So I am going to suggest a new one.

How about we call our boys the blackshirts.

Why not just call them the Alabama Crimson Tide defense?

I detect sarcasm from you sir.

by the way, it is Nebraska.

So, fine. I will change it then. Why not call our D the Junkyard Dogs.

How about the guys that need to set their alarms about 30 minutes earlier. Once they wake up, it's on. Before that, the matadors?

I was just following the trend . . . you started with A&M, went to Nebraska . . . I thought we would just go ahead and pick the best defense, and be honest and open about it.

[emmitt01]

I'll call them 2-1 this week.

[UNT90]

How about we beat Tulane and MTSU before going all nickname crazy up in here.

Totally agree. We are sufficiently nicknamed. If there was any updating done, maybe something like "The Original Mean Green" or "The Originals" for short. If you had to come up with some sort of T-shirt honoring them. You could do

"MEAN GREEN"

LOTS OF PUNISHMENT

AT NO EXTRA CHARGE

[GreenBat]

Lets call them the Pink Shirts.

No reason, except it might piss them off and they'll play lights out from the kickoff.

[EagleD]

Since Joe Greene has come back into the fold a little bit I like the idea of the Mean Green Curtain. Mean Green D works as well.

[golfingomez]

what about

'The Alan Parsons Project'?

catchy right?

[Gurleyman]

Why not call our D the Junkyard Dogs.

That's taken

Haha...what?! If that's a real thing, it's hilarious.

They're all pink on the inside.

Really, this thread reminds me of a scene from Mystery Men.
