Naming Contest Anyone?

Our own private Power 5.

Maybe. However, every now and then one of them strikes gold, The Imaculate Reception.

Exactly, it was describing an event and was so perfect, it may never be matched. I mean, attaching monikers to teams or parts of teams (Fearsome Foursome, etc) just seems a little dated, but if it folks like to do it, have at it.

The lazy sportswriter comment was just a very delayed reaction to the "Core Four" moniker that one of the local CT sportswriters tried to sell early in the season. It never caught on, thankfully, and as any Yankee fan will confirm, the only "Core Four" was Jeter, Pettitte, Posada, and Rivera. At least, ya gotta be original. Apologize to all if my crankiness offended.

Monikers are for lazy sportswriters with time on their hands.

Maybe true, but one of those lazy sportswriters penned the name "Ivy League" about 20 or more years before it was formally organized, and another coined the name "Phi Slama Jama", Texas' Tallest Fraternity.

Agreed, but see post above.
