Unofficial what names lost out to Leaders/Legends thread?
As if the logo and the unbelievably bad ridiculous names for the future trophies weren't enough, the Big 10 offices chose "Legends" and "Leaders" as names for our divisions in football. What I want to know is, what names could they have discussed which later were deemed to be worse than Leaders and Legends? It is seriously difficult to think of names that could be worse, but I'll take a stab at some that I am glad they did not chose, please feel free to add....
Zambonies/Slot Ninjas (we'd need a division of our own)
Bloods/Crips

Finkel and Einhorn
December 13th, 2010 at 11:59 PM ^
Finkel IS Einhorn though.
Does that mean it'd be a one-division 12 team league with the top 2 teams playing in the Big 10 Championship Game?
December 14th, 2010 at 1:03 AM ^
it'll leave you in the shower crying, wishing it never happened.

How about Wintry Mix and Sleet?
I love the Plains and Lakes names, but both MI schools, MN, NW (definite Lakes spots) are with Iowa and Nebraska (def Plains). The names rock, but wouldn't make a lot of sense. It's the same case for the other division, which would make more sense as the Lakes division. But are you really going to put both MI schools in the Plains division? C'mon, Great Lakes/Great Times!
