Lauren said…”I believe I have heard that when you call someone a wahoo it is a form of calling them stupid or and idiot. just me though what do I know? LOTS lol”

I said…I have never heard that but maybe. I was unable to find any definition on the web that said “wahoo” was a euphemism for stupid or an idiot. It’s probably out there though. Everything else is. You were most likely thinking of “yahoo” though.

Sort of puts you in an awkward position though. I mean, calling someone else’s choice of wahoo as stupid when you were a bit confused by the meaning of the word. (chuckle)

What a stupid name but was suprised Tourist wasn’t one of the choices. lol Am sure someone thought of that though. Since the Navy is here and we depend so much on their money might call em aviators (duh)

@eab- the rivalry is huge in college football but its also huge in anything between the two states. In baseball the bigger rivalry for the reds are the pirates and indians in interleague. We (Reds) dont get to play the tigers often but when we do we hate them. lol

I’ve seen a couple of double A games in Montgomery and have enjoyed some great baseball. Also got to see Evan Longoria from Tampa Bay during his rehab blast a couple of homers. This is going to be great for Pensacola.

I see from the last couple of posts that the flamers can even find something to get angry about in a story about a minor league baseball team’s nickname.

Fortunately, our friend Rick put things in perspective when he said…”I am ashamed that I did not vote on one hand, but glad I did not on the other.” Thanks for clearing that up, Rick.

Bjay….I guess I shoulda figured that out but thanks for the info. I think of that as a college football rivalry not being from the area (or following football very closely). Is there much of a rivalry between the Reds and the Tigers now that the bigs have inter league play?

Excited….You are dead on with your comment about the skill level between AA and whatever the Pelicans were. Low A? I’m really not sure, I just happened to catch some well played games and really had a good time watching them. I can’t help but wonder if the new digs and new level might hurt their fan friendly approach. I felt that the Pels were definitely good ambassadors for the game of baseball.

We might well have chosen “Village Idiots” for their name……wait……..how about the “dingleberrys”, “class clowns”, “flaming morons”…………….or even the “azure suckers” or the “cobalt goggleeyes”, “glauoucs groupers”, “periwinkle perch”, “indigo cottonfish”, ……OR EVEN THE “ROYAL BLUE RED SNAPPERS”…………..those are shades of blue and types of fish. It scares me to think that our populous actually chose that as the name for this team. I am ashamed that I did not vote on one hand, but glad I did not on the other. That would be worse than people thinking I voted for Obama.
