We need to come up with a catchy name for our soccer team and we are currently at a loss for names. Two years ago our name was “L33T PWNRS” and last year our name was “#include team.h”. Even though I’m sure you figured this out I’ll mention that the team was started by a bunch of random computer science majors just trying to come up with something stupid funny. In our third year we need something just as catchy but with a little less emphasis on the computer science and a lot less need for a 5 minute crash course on the chat rooms of AOL or C++. If you have a suggestion post it here! Thanks in advance!

On second thoughts, I guess that’s just as geeky as the earlier ones.

With no factual answer to this question, I think you’ll do better if this thread was in **MPSIMS** or **IMHO**. Since the question is kind of poll-ish, I’ll try **IMHO**.

I like the geek names, but then I’m a big geek.
How about the Atomic Badgers?

**The Rebooters** – It’s a computer and soccer reference in one simple word! (well, actually two, but you get my drift)

“Free Agents.” As your team logo, use a dollar sign.

**GorillaMan** you’re gonna have to explain to me what you were trying to get at with the tar switches. My brain just isn’t putting it together and the lightbulb is off tonight. Other than that it seems like there are some pretty good ideas being thrown out. The Rebooters seemed to get a general approval and led us to something along the lines of Access Denied. If you have more keep throwing them out. I’ll be sure to let you know if we choose yours! Thanks guys!

We named our indoor soccer team a while back “The Soccer Challenged”.
Feel free to use it, unless of course you think it sucks.

Ok, it’s been years since I took a class but:
{
char TeamName;
char x = Man
char y = chester;
TeamName = \<\< x \<\< y;
}
[sub]This from a guy who wanted to name his seven year old son’s soccer team Manchester United. After all, could you imagine the indimidation factor?[/sub]

Call yourselves: **Manchester United**
You can buy shirts on the internet, any you might win a whole bunch of games by default from teams too intimidated to play.
But considering you are from Normal, Illinois, I think the best name would be The Normal Nerds.
