The Battlin' Fathers of Lies

Up at Devil's Lake, N.D., the high school athletic teams need a new nickname.

A few possibilities to get us started:

  • the Dantes
  • the Tempters
  • the Acheronians
  • the Hell-Spawn
  • the Fightin' Cursed Minions of the Adversary (note that the women's team, if following conventions set at many older schools, could then be the Lady Fightin' Cursed Minions of the Adversary)
  • the Ten-Headed Armageddon Beasts ("Go THABS!!! WOOOOO!!!")
  • the Ashcrofts

Let's get a nice list together and send it off to the school board.

Devils Lake? NORTH Dakota?

The Northern Snakeheads, natch.

Though I did see a bumpersticker today proclaiming "Deforestation: The Doorway to Hell", which leads me to the Devils Lake Relentless Loggers.

Sorry to steal the Snakehead bit, Teenidol. Better luck next time.

Maybe the Army of the Damned? Or just the Ragin' Fires of Pandemonium?

Now that I think about it, Army of the Damned is more along the right track. Who, after all, lives in the real Devil's Lake (of Fire)? The Wretched Sinners!

Going to each game would be a reminder of our sin-begotten state? "Johnson finds Crandall in the end zone...and TOUCHDOWN for the Wretched Sinners! Of course, none of it will save them from everlasting torment, folks, unless they accept Jesus Christ into their hearts..."
