An all white linebacker corp is a snow patrol, but what do we call an all white offensive line? I'm thinking of "ivory line" "snow fortress", "ivory fortress", "ivory wall". There are a few of them out there in college football. Also, for a four white one black offensive line I came up with "marbled line" or "marbled wall", or a "chocolate chip" line. I think we should come up with something for all the college team researchers to have a quick easy term to use.
I'm leaning toward "ivory wall" for an all white line, and chocolate chip ice cream line" for a mostly white line.

I'll have to give this some more thought, but for the O-line, I'm thinking "I-line", as in ivory line. That way, we could say something like, "Isn't it great to see another I-line in the Big-10?" or "The I-line made the difference in that game!"

I don't know about nicknaming something that isn't all white. To me it doesn't make much sense.

Ice Line or Iceliners is pretty cool.

I don't think anything with "snowmen" would work, with the Frosty stigma and all. Too ripe for jokes about his slow forty and poor vertical.
