The biggest question this preseason is not the what the impact level our surgically-repaired defensive lineman Red Bryant and Chris Harrington will have after being "away from football for about eight months", or who will the old man (Marquis Carpenter) beat out the underclassman (Jordan Peterson) in the the heated battle for the left corner spot.
The biggest question is what to call the tandem of J-Train and Mike Goodson? These two guys will be the best combo in college football and need a nickname that sports announcers can repeat ad nauseam. Lane suggested "11-3", which is terrible. D-morn news writer Brain Davis seems to be pushing "beauty and the beast", which is better, but a Disney-rooted will get your zero street cred. They need something tougher... something with the vibe of "fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee", but much shorter. Maybe "hit and run"? A felony is automatic street cred. I can see it now, on the pregame jumbo-jumbo tron. HIT RUN (side note: this would also fulfill my request to stop showing highlights from 8 years ago, it is embarrassing).

What do you think the pair should be called?

I like "Hit and Run", much more than Beauty and the Beast. How about "Thunder and Lightning"- may be overdone. Quick and Crush? Beat and Burn? Bubblebee and Megatron?
