Anybody want to help with a sports headline?

I work at a newspaper in CT and one of our local college teams is playing in the Northeast Conference Championship tonight with a trip to the NCAA men's basketball Division I (the Big Dance) tournament at stake.
If they win, it will be their first NCAA berth.

Game starts at 7 p.m. Quinnipiac vs. Robert Morris. We cover Quinnipiac.

So, we are looking for four headlines, if it's a:

Big Win
Big Loss
Close Win
Close Loss


Quinnipiac are the Bobcats. We were thinking about potentially using the words "berth" or "dance" in the headline.

Just looking for any ideas. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I figure DU is a pretty creative group, so thought I would ask. Thanks.

Bobcats show Huskies how it is done!

:rofl:

Very true.

:P

eom

Wasn't there a movie called "The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing"? I know it might be obscure, but you could say something about loving Cat Dancing.

:)

who is a copy editor, asked me to think of some headlines. He is thinking about them too, but the more ideas the better. Just trying to help him out. This headline is for the cover of the sports page, in which he is in charge of tonight.

I can understand asking around in the newsroom for help on a headline. But throwing it out to a message board? Are you a copy editor? If so, why are you asking people to do for free what you do for money? Why should you be paid if someone else will do it for free? (I'm guessing you're not, because you said your co-worker is a copy editor. So please don't take my pointed questions too personally.)

I say this as a former newspaper copy editor who now works freelance. I take the decimation of my profession very seriously.

I understand your point on this: "If so, why are you asking people to do for free what you do for money? Why should you be paid if someone else will do it for free?"

And it's a valid one.

Just thought I would ask the creative minds of the lounge since many here have asked for advice or suggestions, including on work-related topics.

Carry on. :hi:

:hi:

bigwillq is hot. Film at 11.

Oh, wait? There's a game on?

Sorry.

Thanks, Midlo. I see you've already opened that box of wine!! :P ;) :)

Thanks for the suggestions. :hi:

Or maybe Bobbing for playoff berth.

:(

:hide:

not a big deal. Go drink more wine and drive your van. :rofl: :P ;)

I knew them as the Braves (former UNH guy, then Yalie here). Was that a PC thing like the St. John's Redmen Red Storm?

Is there any CT team (Central, Hartford, Fairfield, Sacred Heart) still alive? :shrug:

You don't work for the Register, do you? :scared:

I know, it sucks.

And no one under age 40 will get the "din-din, Morris" reference.

but couldn't come up with anything that fit.
