I have to say that I’m a little disappointed by the low turnout for last week’s ‘Hoosiers’ contest<\/a>. Is it that you guys weren’t interested in the prize, that you didn’t like the contest I came up with, or something else entirely? The upshot to this, however, is that the few people who did enter each have much better odds of winning.

What I asked you to do was to come up with funny or clever names for fictional sports teams from movies or TV shows that are not actually about sports. I liked all of the following answers.<\/p>\n

Honorable Mentions<\/h5>\n

Vince wrote:<\/p>\n

Deadwood Claim Jumpers
\nMayberry Moonshiners
\nChinatown Kittycats
\nEmerald City Twisters\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Walking Dead<\/p>\n

(If I can’t get an honorable mention for humor or cleverness, maybe I can get one for most obvious reference)\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Consider yourself honorably mentioned for obviousness, EM.<\/p>\n

The Winners<\/h5>\n

Anita gave us what I consider the most clever answer:<\/p>\n

The Se7en Deadly Sins\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trevor wrote:<\/p>\n

Evangelion All-Stars
\nJack Burton’s Unreasonable Things\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’d go to see any of these teams play.<\/p>\n

So, there you have it. Congratulations to Anita and Trevor for winning the ‘Hoosiers: 25th Anniversary Edition<\/a>‘ on Blu-ray. <\/p>\n

We’ll see if we can’t rustle up perhaps a more recent title for our next contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
