    The Wisconsin Game Thread Name Thread

    In the past few weeks, we have seen our share of controversy and recriminations in the game threads due to some unfortunate name choices. This game is a big one, and I thought it would be good to make sure we have a solid and non-controversial choice. As one of the few people (only person?) here to have witnessed BYU win in Camp Randall in person, I thought I would offer a couple of ideas. Feel free to add your own, hopefully better ones.

    "The Beat-Down in Mad-Town"
    "BYU goes B1G"
    "Crushed in Camp Randall" (obscure and somewhat poor taste historical reference)
    "Camp Jimmy Mac" (Reference to J-Mac's tearing apart of Wisky in the only prior meeting)


    Important Note: This thread is NOT for discussion of the game. That will have to wait for the appropriately named thread.

          I think I can speak for everyone on this board when I say it would be much appreciated if the thread title could work in a clever reference to Voree, Wisconsin. Voree, of course, is the present-day headquarters of what remains of the Strangite movement.

          Thank you.

                I think this one can close the thread out.

                  There have been no thread title controversies. Harry tic ruined the entire season with his awful thread title. I don't recall any disagreements so therefore there was no controversy.

                    If you saw Bronco's comments last night, there can only be one thread title:

                    "Wisconsin is our next game."

                      You'll thank me someday. You'll be sitting in GD class one Sunday and the perfect moment will come to let fly that random bit of trivia about BH Roberts which has by now been imprinted upon your soul. Mouths will gape and ladyfolk will swoon. And you'll think to yourself that the Good Lord sometimes works in mysterious ways, yea, even through his occasionally loyal yet easily mocked servant, Harry Tic.

                      And I still vote for a pun about the Strangites for the Whisky thread title.

                            I vote to keep this thread as the game thread as a testament to how badly game thread naming has gone this year and a warning to those who will attempt it in the future.
