Guest El Satanico Posted June 16, 2003 Report Posted June 16, 2003 Macon, Georgia has a Hockey team? wow oh yeah and by the way...it's a bird...big deal
Guest The Czech Republic Posted June 16, 2003 Report 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."
Guest El Satanico Posted June 16, 2003 Report 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.

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
Guest Vern Gagne Posted June 16, 2003 Report Posted June 16, 2003 Like the B Sharpes. Cleavor the first few times you say it, but it gets old after awhile.

Macon Whoopie! Heh. 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 Posted June 16, 2003 Report 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).
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted June 16, 2003 Report Posted June 16, 2003 The announcer for the team does work for Fox Sports Radio late night, I think with Ben Maller but Im not sure..
Guest nl5xsk1 Posted June 17, 2003 Report 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
Guest newblood03 Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 So it this team gonna be in the NHL or something?
Guest nl5xsk1 Posted June 17, 2003 Report 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)
