Is it time to give this Defense a Nickname?
Last week Rashan Gary was asked: “Do you guys have a nickname for your defensive group or a rally cry?”
Gary’s response: “No, not at all right now. We’re just waiting for somebody to give us a name.”
The NFL has a long history of nicknames for outstanding defensive units. A few that come to mind from over the years are The Purple People Eaters, The Orange Crush, The Steel Curtain, Gang Green, The Killer Bees, and I’m sure many more I don’t immediately recall. It doesn’t seem to be as popular for college units though.
So, should the 2017 Michigan defensive unit have a nickname? A couple options include “The Blue-Collar Defense” (just a shirt I wear to work), or my personal favorite, “The Brownout Defense” or simply "Brownout D" I can envision a future headline that reads “Penn State Whiteout suffers Brownout!”
What say you?
Side note: My inaugural post so hoping I’ve followed the proper MgoProtocol.

1.create a new theme song called “Hail and Unite”
2.get a wolverine mascot on the field
3.bring back the bumblebee “throwback” uniforms
4.play “in the big house” before, during, and after every game
5.install a yellow halo made of aluminum siding around the stadium
Just some thoughts.

They all have those workshirts, so they could be called the blue shirts, or the blue collar defense.

Don Brown is Mr Brownstone
Like Brownstone you get a quick (pass) rush then may just end up in the hospital or dead if you fuck with it.
