Voter Dame, upside down school, etc. Not classy even when you are winning.

I'd rather play San Jose State, and I'm 100% serious.

Mick, I meant all the silly nicknames for the hated opponents.

Time to grow up.
We're already well into (or even finished with) our 40+ years of being adult alumni(ae) of LSJU.

I agree, but I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting for it to happen.

Sorry but for me mocking your opponents in silly ways is part of the fun. We don't need to take everything seriously!
My favorite remains UDFG

Never liked it. Put up a poll regarding it a couple of years ago to gauge the group dynamics. Was taken down immediately by the powers that be. Not debatable.

Right, but people who like it can choose to type them. People who don't like it can't have their words show up as written.

That is a good point. I frequently type "Toejams" because that's how I see them.Â

I've only been posting here a few weeks, but the silly nicknames has been something I've found to be rather juvenile. I figured there was a back story that explained (justified) it, but it sounds like from this thread that there probably isn't.
To each his own, I guess.Â

I wouldn't lose any sleep if the nicknames went away.
Re: Maybe it's time to dump... - Phogge - 09-17-2017
I am a childish septuagenarian but I can't stand the nicknames here. Give me names like Home Run Dunn, Joe "The Legend"Â Gualco and Denny "Barney Google" Dalton, all teammates of mine.

I think there has been a tweak and the name of this website now changes to... cardboard.

Ah. I noticed that in one post and didn't realize it was the censorship function doing it. Not sure if Yvonne added that substitution as irony or if we have been hacked.

Wait, what if I have a cardboard box?

C.ardboard without the period does now change to that disparaging phrase. I doubt that Yvonne did this. It needs fixing.

Yvonne seems pretty self-deprecating, I'd be surprised if we were hacked. Regardless, I disagree that she's doing a poor job managing the site, even if I disagree with some decisions. No large group of people is ever going to agree on everything.

SOME MAY SAY THAT trojans, usc, notre dame, cal bears, AND THE "Voldemort " AWARD MAKE THIS A brobdingnagian cardboard. OTHERS MAY DISAGREE.
Did I miss any?

One brobdingnagian omission.
