Football fans who cheer on the Spartans this fall might have a new section.
The Bobbys World section, named after MSU head coach Bobby Williams, might have its name changed if the Student Alumni Foundation agrees on a decision tonight.
It is kind of a cheesy cartoon characters name, no offense to coach Williams, and they want something a little catchier, said Derek Byrne, a general management freshman and co-director of the former Bobbys World section for the Student Alumni Foundation.
Byrne said the group wanted to have a section for students to cheer and last year it was named Bobbys World.
He said there was a general consensus among the foundations members to change the name.
Some people think it is kind of cheesy and some people want to patent the name and there might be conflicts with the show Bobbys World, said Michael Campian, a criminal justice freshman and co-director for the former Bobbys World section.
Campian said the organization has been poring over a long list of names but hasnt come to a conclusion yet.
We have everything from Gangrene to the Green Machine but we have not decided on a name, he said.
However, not all fans want to change the sections name.
No-preference freshman Beau Ballinger said the name should stay because basketball has a section named after its coach.
It gives it that personal touch to the coach, Ballinger said. It is kind of a respect issue to the coach.
