🏈 What to call BDS

[LBS]

What is the difference between "gimmicky" and "being progressive"?

~ Blue Turf? I suppose that depends upon whether you are a Boise guy or not.

~ Penn State's White Out? I don't see them getting rid of that any time soon. Georgia's Black Out? :rofl:

~ Martial Arts training for football players? We've done it, and it worked against the Ninjas at UGA.:rofl::rofl:

~ the Wish Bone? Well, it is the 70's or the 90's?

~ nick names? Paul "Bear" Bryant, Ron "He Hate Me" Smith, Terrance "Mount" Cody, Jordan-Hare Stadium (a.k.a. the Jungle) (a.k.a. Ok its Jordan-Hare and we would like to forget the whole Jungle episode thing ever happened) (a.k.a. alright, this time we mean it when we say its Jordan-Hare Dye stadium/field)(a.k.a. DOH!! What we meant to say is that the stadium is Jordan-Hare and the field is Dye field, and yes the pressbox has a completely different name, and no we don't have names for the restrooms there other than "the last place on campus one is likley to find toilet tissue")

Welcome to Bryant-Denny Stadium home of Stallings-Saban Field.
The house that Bear built.

We call it " The Deep Nothing" cause visiting teams came with nothing and they leave with nothing.
So please close the door to the Fail Room on your way out.
Roll Tide! lol

:rofl: I'd give anything. and i mean anything to see the look on the Penn St. guys faces when they enter the locker room for the 1st time and see the plaque out side the door that says "Fail Room"anic:

We're Alabama football. Bryant-Denny says it all.

Nice thought, but...we don't need no stinkin' gimmicks.

Stop reading at this point. Bryant-Denny got my vote.

a gimmick is a quirky feature that distinguishes a product or service without adding any obvious function or value.

I really wouldnt call a nickname for a stadium progressive. And nicknames for players arent really gimmicks. I have a few different nicknames from all phases of life. They were often given to me by buddies. I didnt have a service or product to "sell".

The option, wishbone, and run-n-gun could all be considered "gimmicks" by some. I just look at them as different offensive schemes.

To each his own though.
