Nickname Request - Hank 91 - 08-11-2017
If there was one negative to Christian McCaffrey's Stanford career, it's this: WildCaff. The athletic department's stubborn clinging to the most ridiculous nickname in the history of nicknames (pushing the Big Unit down to #2), was more than disappointing.
I understand the etymology -- you put Tyler Gaffney in the wildcat, and it's the Wild Gaff (also unfortunate) so with McCaffrey in the wildcat formation you get WildCaff. Still stupid.
So here's my request. When Bryce Love finds his way into the wildcat (let's use another thread to debate the merits of this strategy), can we refer to this as the Love Gun instead of the Love Cat? In general, I much prefer the Cure over KISS, but in this case Love Gun is clearly the better option. If we start this momentum going now, we can save the athletic department (and Love) from another embarrassment.

Well, there's "Love Train"
And "Love Hurts"
It's generational.

There are any number of puns that writers will put to use this year regarding Bryce Love, but when he's lined up in a shotgun formation, it can only be Love Gun. Love Gun, I say! I will accept no other moniker.

Fastlove Formation - think George Michael.

Love. Will. Tear. You. Apart.

Love Gun sounds like a phallic symbol to me. Maybe not even just a symbol...

Here goes...
- Let's hope this year we see "The Power of Love"
- and when he get's the ball it becomes "Love Hurts"
- and then we all become "Addicted to Love"
And after another fantastic season "You've lost that Lovin' Feeling"
and then we are just "All out of Love!"

Since we seem to be slipping from nicknames to something more like bad headlines, I guess we could have:
"Chryst to Love: Offense Born Again"
If only Bo Peek were to switch to the other side of the ball to fill a guard spot, we could have a headline from practice:
"Little-Bo Peek have tossed Quenton Meeks"

The band really should play "Addicted to Love" whenever he scores!Â

The Drumz could quite easily play the intro beats to "Love Gun" as well.

The Love Shove
The Bryce Slice
The Punt Pre-play? (reflecting the play not the player)
The mundane cat? (ditto)
Re: Nickname Request - Phogge - 08-11-2017
How about we just call him Bryce Love and dispense with the need for corn.
