Vote for Beanie's Stiffarm Nickname
By Tony Gerdeman

Top Ten

Only one vote per IP address.

"The Debacler" - If you don't know why this nickname is awesome, then you need to go here and do some research.

"The Varsity Club" - Some folks may feel that this nickname is too geographical and enough people won't get it. However, as I've mentioned, much of this hinges on Brent Musburger's acceptance--and I guarantee you he'd know and accept "The Varsity Club".

"The Man-Boy Separator" - Not to be confused with the joke about how you separate the men from the boys in Ann Arbor (...with a crowbar).

"Pushy Galore" - I realize I'm backtracking on my "no nicknames based on females", but the idea of Brent Musburger doing Sean Connery impressions is too much to pass up.

"The Second Amendment" - Perhaps the most apt, but is it apt enough?

"The Reckoning" - I like this one because it brings about an air of impending doom. Although it begs the question why "Impending Doom" isn't on the list.

"Fear Itself" - Aside from the SEC, it's the only thing we have to fear.

"The Crucible" - This is one of my favorites, even though it might be too obscure for some. You may think that that might be too much of a generalization, but after reading "The Jefferson Seeing Stars-ship" again, I would tend to disagree.

"The Tumbler" - "The Tumbler" is the name of the new Batmobile, so I think this is a great suggestion. However, if it is instead named after a seven-year old girl in gymnastics, then we'll have to rethink this.

"The Weekend at Beanie's" - I don't even think I really noticed this one until today, and it was number 391 on the list. It had never grabbed my attention until I started thinking about what it entailed. In "Weekend at Bernie's", you had a dead guy being treated like a rag doll. In "Weekend at Beanie's", you have the same thing, but with the living. It's a nice fit.
