This is a spin on my usual polls about the best indie band name. Now it's the best indie band pet name!

What is the best name that an indie band member would name their pet? (These could also be the names of race-horses I suppose...)

Galaxy

Peter Gabriel

Vibrant Fur

Charlie Brown's Christmas

Death Cab For Kitty

Doghouse Resident

The Fido Experiment

George Mason

This was entirely inspired by a weird Google search that brought someone to my blog. They searched for "Indie pet names," and I couldn't figure out what they were looking for exactly. Hope they found it! I can't really sleep, hence the poll in the wee hours of Christmas morning.

So, during the current bowl-season, the Mountain West Conference has made a pretty good showing. They really do seem like they've always got a few very successful teams each season. This season they ended with three ranked teams. I was thinking... sure people say they don't have the depth they need to be considered a BCS conference, but what if they re-organized and grabbed a few winners from the surrounding conferences like the WAC. (Yes, Boise State is the obvious grab.) Also, it might not hurt to dump some schools that don't contribute in any great way to Football or Basketball. So, supposing they did this... What should the new and improved conference be called?

What should the conference name be?

Keep the name the same.

The Big Fat Mountain West Conference

The Freakin' Big West

BCS AT LAST Conference

Not-so-mid-major-anymore Conference

Whining Leads To Success Conference

The Intermountain Kicktrash Conference

Conference of the Likes of Elizabeth Lambert
