Name the 2011 Defense

[IrishAlum1997]

This has been the missing link to this team's ever-impending Return to Glory.

If these truly are the guys, and the coaches that take us to defensive utopia and the winning associated with said defense, then they are....

THE CHOSEN ONES.

 

[PLACforever]

The Rapture
Half a play on the Four Horsemen
Half on current events

The Lynch Mob

That's not a good idea

 

[phork]

Meh, too many politically correct people. Lynch Mob was also the name of black rap group. Get over it IMO.

I don't have a problem with it, but others may. So I was just saying it's probably not a good idea

Don't be so damn cavalier.

"Politically Correct" is a non-sensical and shallow rhetorical construct. One can be political and incorrect, depending on one's bias. One can also be correct while apolitical, again depending on one's bias. The teachings of Jesus, the Christ, were "politically incorrect" as well as religiously and culturally "incorrect" at the time. Does this make those teachings something to "get over?"

Sensitivity, be it historical, political, religious or cultural is a whole different can of beans. Give it a try.

Wow. I've been one-upped like- many times here already.

Nice work fellas.

I like 'em all.

I'm ready to destroy an inanimate object just thinking about it...

You left out part of my quote. Try to keep it in context here.

I was talking to my buddy, and mentor today. He is actually a '55 graduate. He looked at me and told me one of the greatest defenses of all time, from one of the greatest "teams" was simply know as the "No-Name Defense." And he said what they did was a marvel by today's standards, and they did it with out any stars; they did it in the face of all the experts expectations. And then he asked me. "And do you know who was in the middle, and the leader of that defense?"

After Lynch verballed to ND, the first time, a poster suggested "Lynch Mob" as a fan cheering section. I PM'd his mother and asked about the appropriateness of "Lynch Mob". His mom pointed out Aaron is bi-racial and that they both found the term highly offensive. I in turn PM'd the poster and it was dropped.

Are they too PC?

Should they get over it?

You might be too young to recall the name Michael Donald. I remember. He was 19 when he was abducted walking home, beaten, has his throat slit, and was hung from a tree across from his house in Mobile in 1981.

30 years too long ago to be of significance? In 2006, five people was convicted of second degree lynching in South Carolina.

It's not a fun phrase but one still associated with hate.



Should we consider Kelly's Klan as a play on words? It's got alliteration.

It's been 87 years since ND students broke up a KKK rally in South Bend but somehow I don't think the University would be thrilled with that nickname either.

Not out of political correctness but out of common decency.

Gee, BGIF, you're mighty pro when it comes to responses like these.

Where ever there is a questionable remark or bickering in the forums...there's BGIF...ready to bust balls with his factually backed arguments. hahaha

Three distinct thoughts:

- Indiana for many years had the per capita, and most (raw) KKK members of any state. And Marion Indiana, a little town past Muncie, was the home of one of the most despicable lynching’s ever, three men were prepared for hanging, for a crime they didn't commit, one was actually let out of the rope, though he served four years for acting as an accessory. Later he was pardoned. Check out the life history of James Cameron, and the American Black Holocaust Museum in Milwaukee. The lynching took place on August 7, 1930. Mr. Cameron was still alive up until a few years ago, because I heard him speak.

- I hate to split the post with something banal, following something so hallowed. But, my point about the no-name defense was very apropos. We don’t need names, titles, awards, we need results. The name of this defense should be the crushing sound of a Manti T’eo hit, or one of the hits Danny Spond had during the spring game. Or Good Golly Miss Molly, don’t we all of a sudden have a whole team full, with this Freshman class that can dislocate your jockstrap with the application of their leather!

- Besides, whenever you name these things with a contest it comes off rehearsed; the best ones are spontaneous, the only one on this thread that fits that criterion is from Aaron Lynch to Old Man Mike (great suggestion): BEAST! One word; Adjective, noun and verb.
