"The Tide Defense Doesn't Need a Nickname" seems a little long. The broadcasters say that about 30 times during a game, and they won't have time to talk about MFBATR being a monster in the weightroom.

"Three and Out" is cool but I guess we are hoping they don't keep the ball 3 whole downs. "The Best "D" Ever" is only an argument we can have amongst ourselves. RTR I'm trying to figure how to work "the grass stain on the opponents ass" into one.

At the end of the year I hope we call them National Champions.

I know WV wrote a treatise on this last week, but here goes:

"I was going to say that."

Indeed, why in the world screw around trying for some catchy name?  Sounds like something on Woolly.

Agree with both of you guys. Same reason we don't nickname our stadium, change our uniforms, do "crimson outs," etc. No gimmicks needed when you are winning championships.

Although Ragin Sabans is pretty funny.

earlier in the year some brilliant poster somewhere wisely suggested  "DANTE"S INFERNO" as the name for BAMA's defense. I haven't heard anything that comes remotely close to this. It fits and I like it! I write in for "DANTE'S INFERNO"!!!

One more time. You don't invent nicknames. If one is catchy it'll get viral on it's own. Have all the polls and contests ya'll want. It'll come out of something like the CNS line about making their azzes quit. Funny how the "Sabinator" and the "Terminators" keeps popping up in these things. I doubt I even know anyone that goes to a theater to see that kinda stuff.

I can hear 100,000 crimson fans screaming    "DON-TA'S INFER-NO! DON-TA'S INFER-NO! DON-TA'S INFER-NO!" every time the BAMA defense comes on the field. Strikes fear in the heart of opponents. He may have to stay and play another year just to hear the stadium rocking with "DON-TA'S INFER-NO!"

We'll all have to head to the library for the epic poem "Devine Comedy". Maybe we'll get bumped to an AAU school.

Bill King (Radio guy on XM out of Nashville) always calls Saban the Executioner.  lol
It fits because Saban always stresses Execution on every play.

This song needs to be played every time the defense takes the field
