Wildcat: Up or down?

I saw a play last night where the QB appeared to be looking to the sideline for a signal, and behind him the tailback took the snap and ran for a first down. Pretty sneaky.

 

Or were they running the Pretty Sneaky?

 

This is a good point. The noun is a proper noun, and now it exists as a common noun. And speaking of Coke, here's an example of how a proper noun is often used as a common noun. Would you write:

"Coke-bottle glasses" or "coke-bottle glasses?"

 

Don't say that Michael.

I was at a game in Greenwich (GREEN-witch), NY, last week and they called it the "WitchCat."

Yeah, the Greenwich Witches.

 

Oh, last week was the first time I saw it. I used Wildcat, and the desj made it lower-case.

I agree with those that say it's a proper name.

 

Jacquizz Rodgers referred to Oregon State's version as the Wild Beaver earlier this week...

 

Thank goodness South Carolina doesn't run it.

 

Wildcock does in Beavers

 

Still makes me smile....

 

I think it should be upper case because it's named for a team that is anecdotally considered to be the first to mainstream it (Kansas State Wildcats)

 

Amen, Joe. I refuse to call it the wildcat. I've seen the exact same offense run against us in high school. It's the single wing.
