Vote for the Future of the Blog!

Hey Tiger fans, it seems like the season has been over forever and yet we are just now hitting the off season in full. I've been fixated on the NHL playoffs and the Avalanche the past few weeks. The NHL might suck in general, but the playoffs are still awesome! I just wish they didn't have those restarted Stanley Cup Playoff logos in the zones; too big and too stupid. How about a simple symbol at center ice like the NFL does at the 25 yard lines? Oh yea and a little thing called Spring Football is consuming all my time. Nothing like 5 HUSKER articles a day and 80,000 at the Spring Game to keep your attention. But that's not what this is about, this is about YOU voting on the new name for the blog!
Up until now, the blog has kind of lacked an identity. Some refer to it as the "support CC blog" (the address), some the "Tiger Hockey blog", and some "Colorado College Tiger Hockey" (blog). The "support..." address came about from the original purpose of the blog: class project to raise awareness about our sweet team. Now it's morphed into game stats, pics, vids and commentary on all things Tigers and WCHA hockey. I really want this thing to have a name and a brand of it's own that we can all embrace and support. I've thought up a few names for the blog and put them on the poll at left. If you have an idea (nothing is too cheezy!!) check "other" and put your suggestion in the comments section. Round one of voting will end June 1, after that I'll put the best names up on the poll and let fans vote until the end of August. The winning name will go in the address bar and on the new banner (which is already designed). I realize that traffic is LOW right now but please vote and tell your friend to vote as well. YOU will decide the new name for the blog!!!

* Thank you whomever corrected my MacNaughton "fauz pas", it's nice to know I've got copy editors out there reading the blog!

A little heads-up. A correction is needed on your page heading.
It's MacNaughton, not McNaughton. :)

(The sports stand at the WA Gate B spelled it wrong on the T-shirts too.)

Just noticed, MacNaughton is spelled incorrectly in several areas on the website. It's not an uncommon mistake, but I know you will want to make the appropriate corrections.

thanks for the "citizen journalism", I secretly wondered what the correct spelling was; almost EVERY place I looked lacked the A. It just proves that most of us read words without looking at the letters! I'll dive in and make the appropriate changes!

Thank you for making the changes, and thank you for not taking offense... none was intended. :)

I like welcome to the jungle, may be a little long for the title but it could do real well as the subheading!
