I was flipping threw the USL Media Guide, and there used to be a franchise called the Ohio Xoggz. What is a Xoggz?
i played with a player that played with the Xoggz, but i honestly cannot say what one is? by the way, what is a Peixes...?
That brings me back. I used to go to Xoggz games back in the day. Never knew what one was though. Neither does Wikipedia.org.
Unless there is a Eastern European language that I might have missed, I believe Xoggz is part of that US franchise culture of playing with the English phonetics. In this case: Socks = Xoggz. .....me thinks....
I saw the Xoggz play (in Minnesota) and still have the ticket stub. From what I remember, Xoggz was a totally made-up name and they were supposed to have a contest at some point to decide what the name meant, but I don't think it ever happened. They faded into obscurity the 2nd year when they had to go head-to-head with the Crew and then quietly folded.
I saw the Xoggs play the D-3 Chicago Stingers in 94 or 95, have no idea what it means, but they also had a team in the W-League called the Xiggs
Gettin' Xiggi wid it That has to be the worst name EVER in American sports. Imagine doing that in MLS... Kolombus Kruu KC Wizzardz San Jose E-Kwakez Chicago Phire LA Galaxxxii MettroZtahzz
What about the Utah Starzz? Salt Lake Blitzz? Calgary Rad'z? Vancouver VooDoo? Kansas Cagerz? Lehigh ValleyDawgz? Cleveland Majic? Memphis Xplorers? Colorado Xplosion? Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz? Or the KC Wi-double-z to-tha a-r-d-z?
FWIW the owner had plans at one point to get a CFL team here and name.it The Rox. As in Columbus Rox. Get It? I hope so cause no way I'm repeating it. But the CFL expansion into the US never got traction. Sad. Or not.. Saved us all from having to figure out what a rouge is. And the Xoggz owner did not own the Ziggs. It was a cooperative venture but by a different ownership group. They actually stuck it out for a couple years after the Xoggz folded in 1997
