ZachTheZip Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Why not compromise? The Exchange Street ROOligans. "ROOligans" for short. Liking it, but i'm still thinking more badassedness is needed. Badassed? OK. What about "The A-Team"? You can use the old moving 'A' in the logo.

fknbuflobo Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 The only reason I even bothered to reply to such an inane topic was that the Exchange Street Elite really caught my eye. I absolutely love it.; I wish I had thought of it. T-shirts will read Exchange Street Elite, political wing of the AKR. We can easily get endorsement from AKR. Naturally, actual hooliganism is not our intention here as that would require far too much commitment, not to mention the sociopathic behavior. Ok, so I may have the sociopathic behavior. No one is perfect! Put a poll out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zip37 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Whatever it's called, I think one thing we should do is: Buy pizzas for the Rowies so Caleb won't have to, and tickets, so again, Caleb doesn't have to buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 GSH was a pretty interesting flick, and Exchange Street Elite works for me. But I was actually thinking about Buchtel's Brigade independent of this list so I'll place that number 1. I really like the idea, BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 ROOligans Exchange Street Elite Compromise might be in order? Exchange Street Elite looks good in writing, but it's a bit of a verbal tongue twister. Why not compromise? The Exchange Street ROOligans. "ROOligans" for short. +1!

zippypitt Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I love the idea of a supporters group! Not really keen on the Rooligans though...sounds like a cheesy Disney take on British futbol fanaticism... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z.I.P. Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I know i know, we already have the AK-Rowdies but this would be for non UA students, alumni, locals, and whoever. It wont be a student exclusive group. It would definitely benefit the program to have more serious supporters and that's the idea. Another serious group of supporters (working with the Rowdies of course) would help get the rest of the people in attendance on the same page and create a real football atmosphere at the Pouch. We would of course get our own scarfs, our own pre/post game bar, and host various events. What are you guys' thoughts on this? Also, we are brainstorming on names, and these are the leaders right now:Stu's CRooBuchtel's BrigadeExchange Street EliteParry's ArmyCaleb's CRooAkron ROOligansLet me know if you have any name ideas, are interested in joining, or if you hate the idea. This is an Awesome Idea, 44! I did wonder who the "we" mentioned above were, though. I've had the honor of meeting Stu Parry more than once, and he's a great guy, with obvious credentials at the Pouch. That said, I have to ask: What the heck is a "rooligan"? I would say it should be something that sounds like a real word! I happen to love the "_______Croo", since it rubs our popularity and honors in the face of the team from Down South which has failed to win any silverwear. I would vote for "Caleb's Croo"! And that comes straight from an "oldie". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpsjugglerdude Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Butchel's Brigade and Parry's Army are by far the best hands down. Rooligans just sounds cheesy and the A-Team sounds like a TV show... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zip37 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 The name should reflect what Caleb's done for us. and honor him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yazan07 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Well as of my vote, looks like there is a three way tie between Buchtel's Brigade, Parry's Army, and Exchange St. Rooligans. These are all solid names IMO. As far as "Parry's Army" goes, I don't think as many people are familiar with who Parry is, as much as how well known John Buchtel and Exchange St. are known. Or maybe it is just me. I still like the "army" part though. Maybe "Buchtel's Army?" Sounds pretty B/A to me Although I also like the alliteration in "Buchtel's Brigade." Alliteration is cool. Now as far as "Exchange St. Rooligans" There has been talk that "a real supporters group wouldn't use the word 'hooligan' in its name." Well guess what? I don't like being compared to other groups. We don't need to model what we do after what is done in European soccer. I HATE when the university shoves the word "roo" into everything, but this is PERFECT! I say, don't worry about what other places are doing, don't try to be like them. We will do what is right for us, because guess what? This is Akron!
