Name my Saints column
October 14, 2010 6:46 AM Subscribe
Please help me name my new football column. I'm starting a weekly column previewing the New O Saints games. The column will look at the week's matchup using statistical analysis (more than what you see at, say, SI.com), but also include a few items like reviews of microbrews from the opponents' city. So, the gist is: game preview, Saints, in-depth, unexpected analysis, and a bit of whimsy. Any name ideas?
Lineups (or Linemen) and Lagniappes

Where will the column be published? Is it a print thing at the Gambit or something, or online?

Response by poster: Thanks for the great suggestions...if you have more keep them coming!
As far as where it'll be, I don't want to self-link, but it'll be on a prominent (as these things go) Saints blog.

'Backstories of O' would be out of the question, I suppose?
Just as well, perhaps, considering that the pleasures of being a Saints fan are no longer exclusively masochistic-- yet the acronym, 'BOO', would have the virtue of pointing to Halloween, the day prior to All Saints Day (which is also the day the Saints franchise was awarded).

To me, "Who Dat?" seems apt, since you're exploring the opponent.

Please no "Who Dat," I think we're all getting sick of that phrase! I like "Lineups and Lagniappe"
