When did Texas start singing Don't Stop Believing at their football games?

[DancingRabbit]

Maybe just me, but I don't recall any others. Got any examples?

LouisVegas?

I've lived in east Tennessee since 1996 and I can remember hearing both "KnoxVegas" and "NashVegas" during most of my 22 years here. And it's not just them -- some people in my town thought it was clever to say "ChattaVegas" too. I've heard less of it in the past decade than I did before, but that could have as much to do with my age as with the prevalence of the terms.

I always liked the term "Chattaboogie" for Chattanooga. My sister went to MTSU in the late 80s and early 90s and they all called Nashville "Nashvegas".

And Starkvegas has been around since then too along with Starkpatch. Another good one was "Fayetteville--Nam" for Fayetteville Ark.

There are a few floating around for Chattanooga. I guess four syllables lends itself to that kind of thing? I usually go with the less-is-more approach, though -- "the Noog."

Which reminds me of a local creek called "Suck Creek" that's known to hikers and kayakers as "the Suck."

What was this thread about again? Oh, Texas and Journey. Yeah, I got nothing on that.

Man, I'm struggling at the office today, guys.

Nice to know there are some fellow dogs here in ChattVegas?. Only been here a year and never heard it used. Probably won't be trying to bring it back either ha.

Welcome aboard, dude. I'm guessing that our town's rise to its current hipster glory has taken us beyond such base tropes. We're too busy talking over $15 artisan cocktails about how many new collaborative web-based-content idea factories started up in the past two weeks to notice a nickname that's so dated. It's the Gig City, bro -- plug in to our municipal fiber optics and feel the synergy!

I kid because I love . . . .

[Pit Bull]

Yeah this isn't really unique to Starkville at all.

Other than we started using it first.

[BiscuitEater]

No because no one gives a 17 and I definitely don't care enough to try to look any up.

Translation .. "I googled it but couldn't find a single example."

[RocketDawg]

Tuscavegas.

[Drewbowski]

The first example that comes to mind is Ashville, NC=Ashvegas.

Hook ?Em Dawgs!!!

That originated out of Fayetteville, NC, and for reasons that probably shouldn't be discussed here.

Fayettnam was actully Fayettville North Carolina home of FT Bragg. Cause it was as wild as hell. Anything wen in that town esp on Hay Street up until the late 80's.
