Wow it is weird that when u think of the devil u think RED, but there are more BLUE devils then there are RED devils. Thats kind of funny when u think about it.

 

Blue Devil doesn't make alot of sense so I looked it up. During WWI the Chasseurs Alpins, nicknamed "les Diables Bleus," were well known French soldiers. Supposedly this is where Duke got the Blue Devil nickname.

No disrespect but I thought this was supposed to be a post about unique nicknames? When did Bulldogs, Devils (of any kind), etc become unique? I was expecting to see some names that I heard of before. Don't get me wrong I am a Red Devils alum (JBS), but I just wanted to hear something unusual.

 

Well, even in all the Murphy Fair books I saw back in school I only saw 3 Devil teams. Guess I didn't look hard enough.

    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
