Can you even imagine all the play that the Gon will get when we beat texas?  JFC.

You'll know we've really arrived when they just start calling it "DOOM," it's like not needing a last name.  That's when you know you're big time.

Just to further drive the "angry" point home, I think you should probably bump into them really hard and mutter several curses under your breath.

Stealing seems kinda uk-ish to me.  Probably better just shove that highlighter up Digger's ass.

I'm thinkin on a national level the whole "Octagon of Doom" thing may sound a little juvenile or stupid or something.  The word "doom" is a little....I don't know tardish.  I don't think it has any staying power.  Its something a fanbase which wasn't in it for the long haul would come up with.  Thoughts?

I appreciate the invite!  The only problem w/ that is the three syllables.  It doesn't flow off the pallet.  But I'll work on it for awhile. 

I kinda just like calling it Bramlage.  IDK.  Maybe "The Fred" or "The Bram."  Its gonna take some time.  I've got to work some things out.

Leroy, if you haven't heard I'm starting a trend to call it just 'The Octagon.'

Feel free to join me.

I used to think that was a good idea, but then I found this page:

http://www.terraserver.com/samples_sports_ncaab.asp

It has aerial photos of 91 NCAA basketball arenas, including Bramlage. 18 of these arenas are octagons. Assuming this is a random sample, this means that almost 1 in 5 NCAA basketball arenas are in fact octagons. At the very least, Bramlage is not unique in its shape. Suddenly, "The Octagon" doesn't seem like such a good nickname.

"Octagon of Doom" is marginally better, as it differentiates Bramlage as the only octagon where you will almost assuredly meet your doom. Okay, it's a little cheesy, but now that it's picking up steam, it will be tough to change it.

I'll try anyway. Might I suggest, THE CAGE

It's short, catchy and ominous-sounding. It evokes MMA, which is often fought in octagonal cages. It conveys the idea that once you step inside THE CAGE, you're in for a serious pounding. It also could mean that THE CAGE is where rabid Wildcats may be found, so you better be prepared if you're going to get inside.

Nah.  OOD requires you to have the ballz to call it the Octagon of Doom.  It just ain't any octagon bitches, its the Octagon of Doom motherf'rs!

Listen all you single-digit frackers:  Do not waltz over here after three glorious years of the OOD and start questioning the greatness that is the nickname OOD.  For years, Bramlage has been known as one of the most sterile, boring venues in the country and now the level of play has made it one of the elite arenas in basketball.

My guess is that you have ventured over from the land of lollipops and rainbows that is Fitzville.com.  Well guess what, you and your sh@tty opinions are not wanted/needed here. 

This is about making the Cats and the OOD the biggest, meanest, baddest SOB on the block.
