Crowdsourcing the dynasty
Okay, I'm gonna need your help on this. I have two projects I'm working on for the immediate blogging future. This is one. (The pieces for the second haven't arrived yet.)
So I've been playing with NCAA Football '11's dynasty mode, specifically in conjunction with its TeamBuilder feature, and it's like crack for these grubby little hands. There are over 4000 voiced team names in the game now, and importing custom helmet logos is a breeze. So I need to create a team I can follow for more than a few years, through recruiting, the regular season, the bowl games...everything.
And I have it nailed down to four finalists (though I could always take suggestions for teams I haven't thought of yet).
First up, the Kansas State Thunderbirds. (Over 4000 team names and "Pretty Birds" isn't one of them? Feh.)

Second, the Gotham City Batmen.

Next up, the Reznor University Nailers. (I'll have to use the import-custom-stadium-music option judiciously with these kids.)

And a long-time favorite, the Columbus Mad Cows.

If you've got a better idea, I'd love to hear it -- bonus points, though, if the team name is in the list of voiced nicknames.
Make your choice, and we'll see if we can't dominate the ever-changing world of college football with 'em.

Greensburg Tornadoes (too soon?)
Austin Powers (groan)

Nah. Those Greensburg people have a sense of humor. Also, I think the high school is now officialy Kiowa County High School, so the Greensburg Rangers (red, white, and blue baby!) are officially available.

Banana Grabbers is on the list
LOL what.

(And I thought Gotham City was based off of Chicago)

I dunno if there was a Gotham/Chicago umbilical pre-Christopher Nolan -- maybe a more seasoned Batophile or Chi-towner can put me straight there. I just always got more of a New York vibe from Gotham, even moreso than Metropolis. I did like Denny O'Neil's quote, though: "Batman's Gotham City is Manhattan below Fourteenth Street at eleven minutes past midnight on the coldest night in November."

You know what I'd pick. It's not funny (well, not *as* funny) as anyone else's choice, but it has significance, and who knows, maybe you could get Bill Parcells to come back to coach.
If I had to choose from the aforementioned, I think I'd pick the Batmen, just because I like the helmets.

Whittling down too many good ideas is painful, but it sure beats not having enough good ideas...

If nothing else, the marching band would be the most terrifying bunch of choreographed musicians ever.
