[Big Sam]

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!

"The Cage."  Where's the F'n cage?

We've gone over this before, but it deserves repeating.....disrespecting the "Octagon of Doom" is  

Just so you know, over at powertard land they are sort of get all warm in their naughty regions for the name, opining on what brilliant mamba jamba came up with it, and another has stepped up and credited this site.  Not sure if that last bit will turn the tide or not.

Could this be the warm and sloppy moment where the fans on this board and those on that board all find a mutual love and respect for one another and    

Probably not, but I'll just  

(The question is which Rodney King moment is this?)

This from the king of tards!  Don't be a traitor Sam S.

Hey d00ds that want another name: go for it.  See if you can come up with another, and then see if it can stick a little bit, then spread, and then get national mentions within 3 years.  

No one is saying you can't try.

[Kat Kid]

Lol, love_FAN playing possum and then re-asserting his dominance once someone tried to marginalize his ascent to greatness.

He's a nice guy until you cross him.  Then he starts cutting throats.  Love it.

Complete and absolute pwnage.

My intense research has found that there are a lot of schools with Wildcats as mascots.  Might I suggest Orcs instead?

I heard they are kinda scary.

[CatMission]

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.

God I am so p*ssed right now, I am worried I will not be able to sleep between now and tipoff.

Fail.  Everyone else knows orcs are green.  Maybe we could use Grimace.

With you on this.  I am fracking running at a fever pitch of anger.  Will try and take a few hour nap but will have very angry dreams and probly do some wabashing in my sleep.

It will just make you more angry because the guy next to you in your dream will be off and mess up your wabashing rhythm.  You will be angry than you could have imagined.

This thread sums up why most of us are on the site, The Comedy, The Brilliance, and the Fan ownership, KSUfans for site of the year, and ksu_FAN for greatest fan ever!

[Super PurpleCat]

The Cage is a great name.... if you're into pro wrestling.

[fatty fat fat]

Lol, love_FAN playing possum and then re-asserting his dominance once someone tried to marginalize his ascent to greatness.

jfc. he's become a monster.

[Leyton]

If ksu_fan isn't orchestrating high-dollar ad campaigns for Fortune 500 companies it's probably because he's saving babies in Africa or curing cancer.   

[swish1]

Should have told Gottlieb we are the Angriest Fanbase in America IMO.

Less chance of the making it on TV...and it will give me something to shoot for should I bump into the gameday crew before the uk game.

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.

Steal Digger's highlighter while you're at it.

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

shoving something up another man's ass seems kind of uk-ish to me...

Somebody needs to get on this, imho:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octagon

I'd do it, but I'm lazy and stuff.

No need to put it there...it's already here....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bramlage_Coliseum. Although the facts may be a bit wrong/missing info...Gottlieb should get the credit for its first mention, and Doom should get credit for his signs and Frank should get credit for giving it "official" recognition.

[fatty fat fat]

_FANw, do you brag to your "gals" about the legendary trademark EMAW names _FAN came up with?

I would.

[ksu_FANw]

He's a pretty humble guy. I wear his shirts...is that enough?

[steve dave]

If it was anyone else their head would be the size of a beach ball.  Did you see his post daring someone else to come up with a nickname for the OOD?  Pretty great. 

[pissclams]

where's teh thread where we told doom (who's name wasn't doom at that time) to make a doom stop sign?

Good question, he definitely deserves credit for the first sign.

no doubt.  i thought i remembered a thread where we were daring someone to do it and he was just the cub for the job.  i remember him taking a picture of it and showing us when he did it.  he had a nasty blue recliner chair iirc.

The Octagon of Doom has gone virile.
