🏈 A phrase I'm already tired of hearing ... Thunder and Lightening.

[TerryP]

Hell, I was worn out hearing it for weeks leading up to the Clemson game in ATL in 2008.

Seriously. Why does everything have to have a cliche'? And if it does, can we at least here something new?!?!

Yeah me too. The phrase has definitely worn thin over the years.

I'll not use it.

I'd rather hear "The Hulk & Flash"! It seems more appropriate!

 

[WaffleHouse]

How about...Henry and Drake?

 

[Crimson&WhiteGecko]

It isn't just being used for 'Bama too. UT, FSU, blah, blah, blah...

Overall I am not a fan of media assigned nicknames. Something like "Nudie" or "Shank" etc that is already theirs or is team given is fine but all the rest is bullshit IMO

I give my kids, grandkids etc nicknames all the time but usually they are ironic nicknames or just some heathen nonsense that I make up

Fun Fact. Didn't the original Thunder and Lightning involve Ron Dayne, a Wisconsin RB?

I'll give my students nicknames. They love it! I have a Cornbread, a Corndog, had a Pooh Bear a couple of years ago. I've got Downtown and a slew of Knuckleheads, Driftwoods, and Bird brains!

First thing I thought about when I saw this thread, that movie The Rundown with Sean William Scott and Dwayne Johnson.

I don't mind the term, but this clearly this shows how little creativity these commentators have. Cornbread and Corndog...now we're talking.

I was at that game... kid next to me talked all pre-game warm ups about how "Thunder" and "Lightning" were going to light it up against us... somewhere near half time I leaned over to him and said "good thing we're in a dome"... he did laugh and turned out to be a pretty level headed Clemson fan.
