    That's something to consider. Although I think anything from 1-4 syllables could work as a chant if you do it right. One syllable can be a quick chant, where you repeat the word over and over again really quickly. Two syllables is usually the easiest because you can do a rhythmic, back and forth chant. Three syllables is still good, and even four syllables could work ala the famous "Let's Go Yan-kees" chant. I don't know about anything longer than that tough. Still this is something people should factor in when voting (if we really want to popularize the nick).

    Tres Hombre!

    or

    The Sniper

    but I must admit Nov-a-caine is pretty catchy and would be an easy chant to yell at the games this year. :D

    How about the UMBRELLA MAN?

    We could have the RED ROWDIES carry umbrellas and open them after he hits a 3-pointer!

    What do you think?

    I say it doesn't matter - we don't need a vote - the right nickname will just be used and start to stick....that's what's great about nicknames!
