Who's Burton Albion?

I saw the game, thanks for reminding me. We'll probably beat them 5-0 in the replay, don't worry. Having said that, good for them, they worked hard, and they deserved it. Nil, Man United playing against Burton is like The Canadiens playing against a team from the league under the AHL, whatever that might be.

The Trondheim Hammer Dancers?

FA Cup is great just for this reason. It would be great to see the Leafs go down to the Macon Whoopee (I know they're defunct, but had to love the name)

That would be the East Coast Hockey League, barry33's old stomping grounds.

(So he says, anyway; I have yet to find his stats on Hockeydb.com.)

Or the guys from Mystery, Alaska facing off against the New York Rangers? Sounds like a terrific idea for a movie, no?

How about the Kissimee Astros (another real-life team; minor League baseball)?

Love that name too!

I still think they should have named their basketball team the Toronto Saurus Rex

If they played in the artsy section of Toronto they could be called the Toronto Sore A$$ Wrecks.
