OK I realize it was just the SOSA Rams, but a couple more strong games against better teams coming up and we're going to have to come up with a real good nickname for our defensive unit. Something like "SF's Earthquake Defense" or whatever you guys can think of.

Okay, whoa! Our team has and has had a nickname for our defense. It is the Gold Rush. Nothing could be more apt given the name of our team. It has been around as long as Purple People Eaters, Fearsome Foursome, Orange Crush, or longer. There is something to be said for tradition. Don't throw it away for some short lived "Crimson Swarm" fad.

You mean the same name as the Cheerleaders?

The nickname has been around since before the cheerleaders. They are using the name as well but with Cheerleaders tacked on the end. On NFL films this past week, when they rated the Niner defense as the eigth best performance (whatever), they refer to our defense as the Gold Rush.
