2020 Hall of Fame Nominations: U R Gould "The Kicking Carousel"

Team: U R Gould

Nomination: "The Kicking Carousel" a new kicker and a new name (nearly) every week

Changing team names seems to be the new trend in the LOC. After years of no team name changes, followed by a 1 year stint change as a result of forfeit playoffs, and the slight modification of a coach who discovered he does actually know something about the league, changing your team name on a weekly basis is the new rage.

Enter Coach Gardner. While Coach Nunn was gleefully renaming his team each week based on miscellaneous movies on random players, Coach Gardner felt a higher calling beckoning him. He had already dabbled in naming his team after kickers for his first two years in the league, Cash 4 Gould after Bears kicker (at the time) Robbie Gould, and Carolina kicker Graham Gano (Obi Wan Ganobi). But 2019 called for a bigger challenge - changing team name AND kicker (nearly) every week!

To save everyone time, and as much as I'd love to wax lyrically about each team name, I'll let you appreciate them all in their magnificent glory in list form:

1. Vinatieri you a new one (Adam Vinatieri)
2. Prater God I do better (Matt Prater)
3. The Book of Elliot (Jake Elliot)
4. Gayme on (Matt Gay)
5. The Stone Rosas (Aldrick Rosas)
6. Ellotta Points This Week (Jake Elliot...again)
7. Hausch-Kan kick a ball (Stephen Hauschka)
8. The Wizard of Boz (Chris Boswell)
9. Folk You (Nick Folk)
10. Fairbairn dance (Ka'imi Fairbairn)
11. I know I don't play Badgley (Mike Badgley)
12. U R Gould (Robbie Gould)

I have to say - given the small pool of names he had to work with (and a few I don't believe he actually had the kicker for, but I think we can let that slide), the amount of actually good names he was able to come up with was mightily impressive. 

Coach Gardner may have possibly hoped he spent a bit more time on his fantasy team, as he slipped to a career worst 5-9 record...but there is no denying the team names were magnificent, and we certainly enjoyed seeing the team names drop each week. It is up to you to decide if the names are hall of fame worthy.
