Oh, and I don’t think it’s that the game is so much slow as it suffers from attention deficit disorder.

“in the regional semi heat finals”

Sadly something like this just doesn’t exist in American college football. No, we get computer rankings and polls to tell us who is the better team.

Having the best teams play each other?

Silly!

For the record, it’s the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Go Hogs! Sooie!

(I married into a Razorback family. We have to show the love.)

I think I’m one of about three guys in Texas who isn’t into American football. There used to be four of us, but one of the guys moved to Canada.

[...] have been squirting out of my nose as I was laughing so hard at The Real Dan’s post about American football and Lyssa’s take on Sea Monkeys and Deb’s offering of her dog to the highest bidder [...]

‘Barracudas’ has already been taken by the rugby lot.
‘Terriers’ is the nickname for Town.
‘Harriers’ was coined for a running club.

I reckon you’re going to choose something with a bit of heritage to it, so I’m going to opt for one of the following:
The Milliners
The Ramsdens
The Shoddies
The Mungoes

The Arkansas Pineapples? I’d root for them!

As for Huddersfield, perhaps you’re considering:

The Huddersfield Huggies
The Huddersfield He-Men
The Huddersfield Diet Cokers
The Huddersfield Bloggers
The Huddersfield Bananas
The Huddersfield Big Daddies
The Huddersfield Procreators
The Huddersfield Walla Wallas

Am I even close? :)

I am so, so tempted to post this comment as “anonymous” so as to not expose my geekery, but I know that you are not one to judge:

The Huddersfield Paladins
The Huddersfield Barbarians

Or, possibly, in honor of the Huddersfield coat of arms:

The Huddersfield Rams

Being from smack dab in the armpit of America I have no idea about where Huddersfield is and what it’s about. Exaustive research–google–has led me to these two choices:

The Huddersfield Brigantes
The Huddersfield Worsted Woolies

Messing with American football? Hmm. Could have a brawl on your hands, Dan! Not by me, of course, I couldn’t care less…but from some other scary football peeps, for sure! You may also know that HIGH SCHOOL (or secondary/prep school) football is a big deal here in the Southern U.S. Just a little tidbit for you….
