Will it still be Minor Rage once Minor graduates?

Submitted by iawolve on
Strange thing to think about, but it sort of has taken on a definition of its own. Kind of like Kleenex. However, it almost sounds like a power up in a video game though as well. Minor Rage noun- To run violently between the tackles "Jones exhibited Minor Rage on that last run" Thoughts? Any English majors here?

Mark Huyge and Mike Cox sitting next to each other on the bench like the old 'Dingle, Berry' pic at WVU. But to Farnn's point (i think), just use (last name) Rage, it'd be more descriptive.

Well, you asked for an English major, so... First thing, you called Minor Rage a noun, but then described the action of running between the tackles violently...which is a verb. Your usage in a sentence would be a noun however. So, I think we have: Minor Rage-v. to run violently between the tackles. Minor Rage-n. the attribute being displayed while a Michigan tailback runs violently through tackles, only stopping until the blood and gore becomes so deep on the field that he can no longer keep his footing. ...or something like that. I'm paraphrasing Brian's description for my noun definition and his was probably much more amusing. As to whether we should change it for a new tailback, it may depend on whether a new tailback can exceed or even match the sheer rage shown by one Mr. Brandon Minor.

I wish I could give you +more for not taking the cheap route with Cox like I did. The biggest challenge is Vincent Smith... a very tough name to make a pun out of. The best I can think of is Smith Hammer, which isn't that great. Either that or we talk about how a defense got conVinced, which is terrible. Ideas anyone?

combine this with my least favorite announcer cliche, and you could have armageddon via an announcer......that's right, "Cox with Michigan's deepest penetration of the day." Sweet. Jesus.

All of the great plays on Cox's name really does make me upset that we don't have the opportunity to have Cox and Beaver in the backfield together. "Beaver gives it to Cox and Cox thrusts forward pounding it into the middle of the D." This is a comment on names, not in any way disappointment with our current QB tandem.
