Welcome to the inaugural post in our new Saturday feature. This will be more of a fun or humorous type of post, more in line with classic SBNation pieces. If you’ve ever wondered what your favorite MWC team would be if it was a candy bar or Harry Potter character, this feature is for you. If you enjoy satire and fake letters from coaches or commissioner, this feature is for you. If you want to see team rankings based on mascots, this feature is for you.
Today, in continuing with Kickoff Week we look at another all Mountain West team. This one looks at the players with the best names at every position. What constitutes the best name? See for yourself.
