Zero Regular Season Starts

i like “smash n dash”

The gansta, the killer and the dope leader!!!! Westside Connection…......

Oh, this isn’t going very well…

so we can get more input. None of these are going to get me any royalties from the cowboys!!!

:-)

In case you dont know or remember who Vavoom is…http://www.felixthecat.com/friends-vavoom.htm

was going to recommend it even before reading it. because i was thinking the same thing. i’m sure some remember the “Pony Express” – Eric Dickerson and Craig James. I wonder when’s the last time any NFL team has regularly used two tailbacks as a base set…

anyway, was thinking about MBIII’s nickname – “Barbarian” which led me to thinking of the game “Gauntlet” – he’d be the warrior of course. so something like
“Running the Gauntlet”

butcher, baker, candlestick maker, and the BARBER – lol

Barber shop quartet (along with Cricket, Choice, and the Cat)

It’s simple, but it sounds catchy.

Felix is simple….but we might as well call MBIII “Oscar” cuz he’s acting like he deserves LT type money…....

that this has to be catchy enough to make the ESPN NFL Primetime highlights, but also descriptive enough of the two backs to be relevant.

Regardless, Gin and Juice will make the final 5 when the poll comes along.

And props to fight and flight, hit and run and stungun. Looks like we need a poll.

Grizz/Tuna/Brandon can pick the best 5-8, and the BTB community can vote on their favorite BTB name for the Barber-Jones combo.

Smash and Dash.

there’s a lot of pretty good ideas here, i can see quite a few of them actually having potential to catch on. maybe we should do elimination rounds or something.

Is the best one i saw

but I don’t want to arbitrarily make the nominations. Here’s a list I like. Any suggestions to add/change the list?

Hit and Run
Romp and Stomp
Gin and Juice
Smash ‘n Dash
Pebbles and Bam Bam
Speed and Bleed
Shake and Break

Shock and Awe should be in the poll..

The only one I feel is worthy was one brought up by Tom (APerfectStar)

.....”The Perfect Storm”

... and if you throw Adam Jones into the trio …we’ll have thunder, lightning, and rain.......dollars that is..

The one phrase i’ve always enjoyed since it’s first use in the Gulf War conflict is “Shock and Awe” which is the closest to describing the dementions this duo will bring to the field….so if i was compelled to even vote on something….that’s the one I’d select….and should be added to any poll.

Or if we wish to include Tashard Choice and Dion Anderson….we can call it :

The Stable of Doom , which would encompass all of our backfield mates…as I am sure all may play a role in bringing horror to defenses ….

finally….....IF there is a poll, and there is a chosen winner…..please don’t throw this down our throats on every ensuing post that follows….I’m already wavering against it…...FACT is ….they already have “NICK NAMES” Felix Jones = “The Cat” MBIII = “Barbarian” .....which are far better than anything i’ve seen suggested…

Cat and the Barbarian seems much more fitting, fluid, appropriate….and is the only name these two should be addressed with…..

Short, accurate description that is still mainstream enough for an ESPN audience to follow.

Hit and Run
Gin and Juice
Smash ‘n Dash
The Perfect Storm
Shock and Awe
Smash and Flash
Crash and Burn

I’ll go with this unless someone has strenuous objections or additions.

anyone have any experience in T shirt design? Looks like we are going to need perfect storm t-shirts…

Hit & Run

How that one has been chosen by the majority so far is beyond me….it’s not catchy, marketable, or indicitive of their actual skill set…..

It’s gonna get old very quick.

The only choices worth a damn are:

Shock n Awe
Smash n Flash
Perfect Storm

Regardless of what is chosen, or decided by you to use for future literary purposes’

“The Barbarian” and “The Cat” are the only choices I’ll personally acknowledge.

Let people have a little fun and some creativity

Like I said before…..I sure hope this is just some excercise of creativity and strickly for entertainment purposes…...

You’re such a malcontent. What’s not to like?

It’s simple, quick off the tongue, and a pretty good approximation of their strengths. I hope to see it used in more than a few articles next season as the Cowboys’ ground game takes off. Seriously, I really think Romo’s stats are going to take a blow next season at the expense of Barber and Jones.

The poll’s not over, so everyone should still go vote for their favorite. And thanks everyone who has already voted.

I just heard the CNN meteorologist refer to storms as “flash and dash” – lightning and then clear – I’d never heard that before, not sure if he just made it up, or if it is sort of a catchy weather term – but that makes it metaphorically consistent as an alternative to thunder and lightning!

haha just kidding.

It looks like Smash and Dash and Smash and Flash together have the most votes. I nominate Smash and Flash as the official candidate. Maybe a runoff?

I’m a little hesitant about applying any nickname until I see Felix in action though (jinxes and such).

Have I told you how much stomach-cramping laughter I’ve gotten out of some of these?
