Time To Name This Blog

Posted Nov 6, 2009 by Scott Carter

Hey everyone, sorry about the delay in getting back on here to name the blog. Been a crazy couple of days trying to get more settled into the new job.

Anyway, thanks to all those who commented and wrote with suggestions for naming the blog. I like the way you folks think. Lots of strong suggestions. Instead of me ruling over the naming rights of this blog like a dictator, let’s put it up to a vote.

Also, some good news: the person whose entry wins the vote still gets a free lunch on me up to $25, but I also have a $25 gift card from footballfanatics.com to throw in courtesy of Aaron Knox at TBO.com.

So, I’ve chosen four entries from you guys and the name I had in mind (Shootin’ the Bull—no one else suggested this one so I may not have a chance) ... When you vote, simply list your choices in order of preference…we’ll use a point system to determine the winner: 10 points for top choice, 7 points for second, 5 points for third, three points for fourth, and one point for fifth.

Let’s keep the poll open until Tuesday at midnight; that way, we’ll have a new name by kickoff at Rutgers on Thursday. And if by chance my entry wins, the second-place entry gets the gifts.

So, the poll is now open. Here are the five choices and in parenthesis the person who suggested the name:

Shootin’ the Bull (yours truly)
The Herd Huddle (StateRoad42)
The Bull Session (Buller64)
Full of Bull (T Bever)
The Bulls Brigade (JP_813)

As you can see, the word Bull is a popular one in this contest. Thanks for playing along.

Haven’t been on this site for a bit, so i did not get to submit my choice. However, if I was to name the blog I would have to go with “The Bull Blitz” or “Bulls Blitz”.... something to that effect.

As for the other suggestions i would have to rate them like this:

1)Shootin’ the Bull (yours truly)
2)The Bull Session (Buller64)
3)The Herd Huddle (StateRoad42)
4)Full of Bull (T Bever)
5)The Bulls Brigade (JP_813)

I liked “BULLshot”, but since that’s not an option, I vote for “Shootin’ the Bull.” The others are too lame to receive any votes/points.

yo scotty baby.  welcome to the big 813.  great city and football.  ur blog boasts a positive attitude.  we like that here.  about the blog name…sorry bro…all the choices are cheesey and smack of small market. the thing i like about USF is its youthful ideology.  the football and school promos are hip and edgy.  herd huddle and the like is far from cool.  the suggestion of “BULLSHOT!” was right on target.  its clever and playfully sarcastic and one intense word is memorable.  BY FAR, the best submission.  please reconsider.  go bulls!

On first glance, I liked “Shootin’ the Bull”.  Of course, after contemplating that, I realized it is a horrible, horrible name that evokes images of the execution of our beloved mascot.

I guess I’ll go with The Bull Session.
