BURKE/BARRO
« on: January 11, 2007, 06:52:21 PM »
This is probably coming off the high of a win but ill say it anyway:

We definately need to come up with a nickname for Burke and Barro if they continue this play. If either one of them can't continue this we will have to scrape this idea for another season.

So Any ideas for a nickname?  B&B?? Beastly Boys???

Burke/Barro, how about Buff/Bank?

Buff because Burke has really hit the weights and may be the strongest guy on the team.  Bank because Barro's bank shot from the key vs UConn.

Can't use the Killer B's, thats taken by the Houston Astros, although it would fit here.

The Astros stole it from the Miami Dolphins.  In 1982 the Dolphins' defense was known as the the Killer B's because they had 7 of the 11 starters that had last names starting with B, and they were the top defense in the league, leading Miami to the Super Bowl.

So if the Astros can steal it from the Dolphins(not to mention the WWF tag team that used the name), MU could steal it too.
