Next chance for a laugh - watching Aresco name this conference

[weyuo]

Why is it that you guys just have to keep piling on the already unfortunate circumstances? Can't you guys for once try and use some of that wisdom you have acquired t0 formulate a grand solution even if it's just suggestions from the peanut gallery rather than constantly focusing on the negative aspects? Talk about a buzz kill... come on guys fix the problem, don't sit there like whiny little girls complaining because the pourage isn't hot enough.

The football league isn't nearly as bad as it's being sold out to be. Why they went for 7 years is just bad. In the turbulent times we live in you never make a deal for that long. But...... it still gives UConn football an opportunity to shine on a national stage so you take what you can get and polish it up the best you can. Time for boneyarders to be creative and make this sow's ear into a silk purse. There's no time left to whine.

We provided several great choices over the last year. SunBeast has grown on me.

With Tulane, maybe "Who Dat?" since nobody will know what it is or who is in it.

Don't need anything that can rhyme with "LEAST".

The Do Not Pass Go Conference

 

[The Funster]

We have football? I thought we shut it down months ago?

 

[uconNYC]

I would call it "The Alliance" because that is essentially what it is.

 

[Exit 4]

How about "the thing"

 

[HuskyHawk]

Is any conference using "The Big Dumpster"?

That's should be the Big Dumpster Fire.

Whatever they name it, they need to pay close attention to what it will ultimately be called by the masses and the media. The Atlantic Coast Conference is never referred to as that. It's the ACC. The Southeastern Conference is the SEC. So let's be careful. Those of you who are familiar with Insurance giant CIGNA might be interested to know that when the merger first occurred between Connecticut General and Insurance Company of North America (INA) the new name selected and trumpeted was North American General. It was only after the geniuses realized it abreviated to NAG and after faxes flew with employee suggestions for logos (I loved the swayback mule) that they went back to the drawing board, shuffled the letters CG and INA and created CIGNA .

 

[UConn5]

I'm sort of tired of "Big" this and "Big" that. Find a simple name that fits the makeup of the conference and I'll be happy. If they get really ambitious and blow it then it will just make things that much worse.

In that case I'm leaning towards This Was A Travesty or

 

[Nostical]

I say screw up the media:
American Confederated Conference....ACC.

 

[zls44]

I'm all for selling the naming rights to Fred Smith.

The FedEx Conference. Where you absolutely, positively have to leave it overnight.

 

[nomar]

Big American Regional Federation

 

[BugsyCT]

The Little East. (or "LEAST" - old joke, but hey - it fits.)

The Middle East Conference. (is that already taken?)

Eastern Athletic Conference. (painfully generic)

Northeast Central Southern American Conference.

The Fire Sale Conference.

my favorite is still The Lost World.

They are all excellent (especially the Lost World). How about instead of Middle East Conference it goes to Middle East Society of Schools (MESS)?

 

[John]

This should be good.

Any conference name should be able to be abreviated to FML.

 

[John]

How about "the thing"

Friends With Benefits.

[Durks07]

Here Lies Uconn Conference or New Orlean's Funeral Conference

 

[uconnfan68]

This should be good.

Are you saying he doesn't stay with the Big East? They should be allowed to keep him.

 

[John]

This should be good.

Call the new conference the Big 16 (or Big 64 since it really doesn't matter how many teams are in a conference), then when the Big 10/12 want to go to 16, you can negotiate the sale of the conference name if the Big 10/12 absorb the members of the Big 16.

 

[whaler11]

Big 16 I believe is trademarked by Big 12. Think they bought 14 and 16 a long time ago.
