Clever team names
Mark D. Collier
league. We are trying to come up with a clever name for our team (which
is tough, because the players do not have that much in common). Any
one who knows of a particularly clever, generic name please send me
an email. I will summarize the results.

This didn't make much sense, until the league or playoff matchups were
listed. Because of course when teams A and B were to play each other,
there'd be some notice like
8pm: A plays B on court 2
Good for a few laughs anyway...

To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kinda scary. I've wondered
where this started, and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus
and a clown killed my dad.

I'm currently on a team called "Will work for sets". (we have
quite a large number of "will work for food" sign-holders in the
area).
Ummm... me!

That reminds me of last year's Division I Intramural season. We had
defaulted out of the league the previous year, so we aptly named ourselves
"The Defaults". The name was somehow simplified to "Defaults" on the game
listings, and we ended up playing only three games all season because the
other teams thought their opponent had defaulted... <sigh> :)

Why? Well, it has to do with all of us being semi-computer geeks,
and all of us having met (and coordinated practice and game times,
for that matter) on our university Prime machine...
Aww, never mind. What a *weak* name! :-)

Can't Get It Up Any More
Likewise, a Junior Division boys' team:
Still Too Young To Get It Up
(but I dunno how they'd convince their coach :-))
A women's fours team:
April, May, June, and Julie
(yes, these really are their first names)
Defensive studs aspire to:
Flying Carpets
(they're always between the ball and the floor)
If your hitters constantly hit long:
Cape Illinois Sub-orbital Launch Group
Weird and wacky:
Champaign-Urbana Janitorial Services ("We Guarantee to Sweep Any Dust")

The funniest team uniforms I ever saw were worn by Roadkill, a local
Parks-and-Rec league team here in Champaign. The back of the shirt
depicts a rabbit standing on a highway with X's for its eyes and a
volleyball flying in from off to the side of the road and bouncing off
the top of its head. Those shirts were worth two points in the first
game of each match, as the opponents were laughing too hard to
concentrate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Totally unrelated to vb: apparently, the Zendejas brothers grew up
playing soccer in their home country, but moved to America and went on
to star as placekickers in college, and later, in the NFL. When the
oldest one first tried out for placekicker as a freshman walk-on in
college, he was given minimal instruction and sent out onto the field,
where he took one look at the H-bar goalposts and promptly started
drilling 30-yarders that invariably came up just a few feet short.
After several minutes, one of the kicking coaches, who'd been evaluating
his (lack of) progress, wandered over and mentioned that he thought
Zendejas was unintentionally holding back on his approach, and asked if
he could get any more power behind his kicks. Zendejas looked at the
coach in bewilderment and asked, "You want it over zee bar, or under zee
bar?"

Net Results
Setting Ducks - Named for the "Net Fowl" t-shirt that is popular around here
Floor Essence - There were a couple of *really* loud outfits on the team
2XSF - I think 2XSV would have been better, but the result is the same
