SLOW DAY–NOMINATE YOUR BLOGPOLL AWARDS AND REGROUP
Today truly was a slow day, but a welcome one since we’re totally drained by a weekend of actual interaction with people. We’ll be back tomorrow with a robust Tuesday. We promise. With like, our hand on P.J. O’Rourke’s Holidays In Hell or something.
In the meantime, nominate your favorite blogs for the Blogpoll Awards. The initial announcement is over at Rocky Top Talk and explains the whole rigamarole. The actual nominating widget–without widgets, adventure is impossible!!!–is over at MGoBlog, since Brian’s actually capable of putting these things together.
A final note: in order to gauge interest ahead of time, how many of you would actually listen to an online broadcast of yours truly and other blog-types instead of the actual broadcast of the legendary Poinsettia Bowl? Due to legalities, this would not be a broadcast of the Poinsettia Bowl, but rather a Mystery Science 3000 type of deal where we’d discuss college football in general, while perhaps mentioning the score of the Poinsettia Bowl along the way.
Leave your declared interest in the comments below. Or tell us this is a despicable idea. Both would be helpful.

Mr. Wrong, yes. Exactly. I’m sure Big Ed Bookman must be behind the scenes somewhere.
BC Eagle, I’m a Texan living in Boston. There are, apparently, enough Frog alums there to merit a bowl-watching party on the 19th. And I thought I was the only one…

Go for it. I’ll be listening. Also, any ideas on how to make the broadcast a drinking game?

Your despicable idea got me thinkin….. with everything that’s been going on wouldn’t the awesome matchup between my beloved Tide and the Cowboys be a better choice? The thought of Saturday mornings watching MST3K makes me tear up….. awe the memories!

I’m in. You should rotate in some of the commenters here as B team broadcast crews for other games as well. At least to work our way through the chaff that is late December football.
Did you know that this bowl game has a dot net site? poinsettiabowl.com redirects to dyingwithcancer.com
If you don’t invite me to participate I at least hope to hear you mention that in the webcast.
By the way Orson — I was two minutes away from uploading our Rodriguez podcast when the news broke Friday. Oops.

Harris (#25), if it’s not the voice that’ll get her, maybe it’ll be Orson’s legs that’ll do the trick…

“… a dinner date that will give it’s members something to look back upon w/ happiness for all their days…”
I look back upon family dinners as a child and wonder why my parents didn’t get divorced sooner. What, just me?
I’d listen to the webcast. Poinsetta Bowl…. is that one that matters?
