Guest El Satanico Report post Posted June 16, 2003 Macon, Georgia has a Hockey team? wow oh yeah and by the way...it's a bird...big deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Czech Republic Report post Posted June 16, 2003 So is "Macon Whoopie" coached by Bob Eubanks? And is that bird superimposed on a pot leaf? That would explain a lot. This might be more bizarre than "Saska Tunes." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted June 16, 2003 oooh I get it now I'd say it was named that on purpose, with that play on words in mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, they do have a certain notoriety for being the only team with a name that implies sexual intercourse. "Those Fucking Devils" does not count. If only other teams could be so clever: Utah Mann Sacramento Stafreshmaker Seattle Seattlerunrunattlerun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ha. Macon Whoopie! Ah screw this. I'm telling you though, "the Seattle Seattlerunrunattlerun" is destined for greatness, whatever sport they come to be in.

Guest treble charged Report post Posted June 16, 2003 There's a Macon Whoopee sweater in the Hockey Hall of Fame (in part of a large display that contains lots of different sweaters from different teams in various leagues). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest nl5xsk1 Report post Posted June 17, 2003 The only one of these names that's a play on words that makes me laugh is when the Astros used to do their spring training in Kissimmee Florida, making them the Kissimmee Astros Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest newblood03 Report post Posted June 17, 2003 So it this team gonna be in the NHL or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest nl5xsk1 Report post Posted June 17, 2003 So it this team gonna be in the NHL or something? No, they play in the ECHL (East Coast Hockey League) ... it's a pretty low level minor league hockey league. Comparable to single or double A in baseball, i guess. Not bad hockey, but for the most part they need to use gimmicks and brawls to get the fans to come out to see the games. (not as bad as the Texas leagues that have guaranteed fight nights, but almost as bad) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
