  1. Hannibal (MO) Cavemen were a team. As are the current Normal (IL) Cornbelters.
  2. Sugar Land Skeeters will have baseball. The Skeeters, Team Texas, Sugar Land Lightning Sloths and Eastern Reyes de Tigre (Tiger Kings).
  3. They said on Twitter the combinations aren't set. The white hat was just placed there to show options.
  4. Akron RubberDucks are the Perros Calientes. The hot dogs. And I think it's awesome.
  5. If they had orange helmets they'd be knockoffs.
  6. It wasn't just that it was similar. It was nearly identical in design AND the user the name Jaguars as well. Hard to argue coincidence when the name even matches.
  7. Was it here that someone suggested that maybe the LA team was going to be the Wildfires and maybe that's how/why they're now the Wildcats. Purely speculation. But their logos and design and colors fit perfectly for that name. I don't think black, orange and red for Wildcats.
  8. That was the same designer. But he was only doing it as a fan. The XFL hired him to do these.
  9. At least it's a step up on 2001. But yes. The endzones are a disappointment.
  10. If the ECHL can not mean anything for all this time the XFL is fine.
  11. Indians v. Marlins game 7. The Cubs series sucked. But not like the Marlins game 7.
  12. Such a horrible name (trash pandas is fine, rocket city is fine, but it's a lot to put them together). But they execute the fun, clever aspect with the logos and what not. Making the racoon an astronaut just works. So so well. Especially the trash can spaceship. It's so dorky but you can't help but love it.
  13. It's not their stadium and it's not on campus. But they did tear down their old stadium to build a practice facility for their basketball teams.
  14. Mahoning Valley Scrappers are going to be playing as the Peppers in Oil for a game this season in the NYPL
  15. Could be. I had figured rent might be the big reason for ending the football team. Back when it was just another tenant of a high school stadium it probably didn't cost much at all.
  16. He's been heavily involved in the Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Village that's basically a giant scam on the city of Canton. The school district signed over their stadium to them with condition they could use it but the hall won't let the team use the locker rooms. Insisting that a new locker room be built for the school but still haven't built it. And the new stadium still isn't finished. And all the houses they bought have basically left an open hole around the hall now.
  17. Braves were probably the most notorious for that. Then there's the Mets who saw the B-Mets become the Rumble Ponies and their AAA affiliate switched to Syracuse and suddenly they're now the Mets.
  18. I always liked this bit from Wikipedia: Timeline of Irish inventions and discoveries Read in another language Watch this page Edit Irish inventions and discoveries are objects, processes or techniques which owe their existence either partially or entirely to an Irish person. Often, things which are discovered for the first time, are also called "inventions", and in many cases, there is no clear line between the two. Below is a list of such inventions. Pre-history 14th centuryEdit Caid (precursor to modern Gaelic football).[3] Whiskey [4] 17th centuryEdit Irish road bowling.[5] 1661: Modern chemistry founded by Robert Boyle with the publication of The Sceptical Chymist.[6] 1662: Boyle's law discovered by Robert Boyle.[7] 1680s: Invention of Drinking chocolate - Hans Sloane[8] It took over 200 years before the Irish invented something after the invention of whiskey. I wonder why....
  19. Their stadium features bright yellow seats. I think that's the reason for the bright yellow.
  20. For a game I was actually at? High school state championship game. Kid's knee bent the wrong way. Hyperextended. It happened near the endzone and I was right in the lower seats in front of it. His scream of pain was something I never want to hear again. For worst I've seen on tv? Probably the Louisville basketball player. (not naming names here)
