THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL BLOG AWARDS 2008: BAILAMOS!

Hayley Lafontaine for post of the year. I think a couple morons from D.C. would agree.

Not so fast my friend…

What about “Fucking Knowshawn Moreno” tirade. Anything featuring Wilford Brimely bukakke has to rank up somewhere.

There should be a play off for the blog awards.
But a blog play off would devalue the regular blog season.

For best photoshop I vote for the image of Fulmer giving birth to a giant Krispy Creme doughnut.

Running dog of subversive elements? How about an Adverse February Current of Capitalist Bourgeosie Imperialism?

Didn’t some of the original notes from the Sub-Commandante appear in 2007? Was that the beginning of Orson really getting loose from the moorings of actual football games and “reality?”

They were funny as hell regardless.

Wilford Brimley Bukakke Party wins the Job Award

For Best Mainstream Media Blog, I humbly submit Bill Wagner’s Navy Sports Blog.

http://thebirddog.wordpress.com/2008/01/21/2007-college-football-blogger-awards/

Personally, I think the photoshop of the year is anyone of these three, If I may say so myself:

1. http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2007/09/13/parallel-universe-445-am-sunday/
2. http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2007/11/27/its-a-regular-shed-scene-out-there/
3.http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2007/11/28/fark-of-the-covenant-the-battle-of-all-battles/#comments

Don’t forget about “Who’s Now: Tom Brady vs. Galactus” for best post. The Hayley post was probably a bigger event, due to the outside factors, but I think “Who’s Now” is a better post. There’s so many jokes in there, even Mangino couldn’t swallow them all down.

@1

As much as can relate to “Darwin, the fat nerdy kid, that always wears Earth shoes, and smells like bad cheese”, the best of 2007 had to be Jim Harbaugh’s comments on ’Washing your hands".

too many to list here dept:

1. Fuck lion
2. Any scene in Miles office (with JoePa, etc.)
3. Coach’s search bar scenes
4. 2nd the Hayley
5. Silver Surfer’s picks

I could go on…

I get that, technically, EDSBS should not win every non-conference affiliated category, except the SEC, otherwise the rest get all pissed, but…

if EDSBS does not win “Best Community” instead of BON this year, you guys should give up these awards.

I mean, honestly, a bunch of Texas stories followed by, “Texas rules 50 times,” followed by “Texas sucks, 15 times,” and you have that blog. Peter does a great job at BON, but there is no community comparison.

Also, is “most analytical” even worth an award anymore? Perhaps you just call it the SMQ award, give him some sort of lifetime achievement award at your “awards ceremony” at the Cheetah, and make him ineligible to win the award, henceforth.

I just started rereading the “Who’s now, Galactus vs. Brady”, and had to stop 1/2way through due to laughter. It’s gotta win something for sure….Flat out perfect, note for note…

Brady v. Galactus. Without a doubt.

Re: #9:

I think there’s a rule in that you can’t win the award two years in a row.

Hey now, Coop. I gotta stick up for my readers, who push the agenda as much as I do.

When the readers write stuff like this or this, you know it’s not just a bunch of rah-rah.

Coach O game week outlook calendar was $$$$$$$$$$.

ODB: obviously dumbest bastard.

I don’t have time for all this blog shit, but Orson’s persuasive talents lead me steal precious minutes from each of my work days. So I’m voting him all the awards. Including Special Shiny Twinkling But Not Gay Gold Medal for his Coach O work.

I suggest a lifetime achievement award to LSU Freak for photoshop/video. Granted two years is a short time for a lifetime award, but wow!

Straight Ticket Dept:

I voted “EDSBS” on all categories on the “mgoboard” official site.

Thought that was funny!

Perhaps this question is a bit off topic, but why does the award look like a headstone? Is that what we think of the “wacky” 2007 season?

Peter,

You have aeronautical engineers in your community, and we are all lawyers.

Now, which group do you think is, overall, more fun?

Oh sure, they can get you all the Tang you want and they might even let you take a chick into one of those “zero gravity” stations, but afterwards…

again, no comp.

I meant, “aerospace.” You lost me at, “bar graph.”

Now, which group do you think is, overall, more fun?

Is that a trick question?

I nominate The bird dog for best new blog.

www.thebirddog.wordpress.com

Where’s the “Best Bunda” category?

DAMNED MEDIA BIAS!!!!

And how about the Fulmer Cup for Bloggers – the “Tase Me Bro” cup. We want to know which one of our faithful bloggers gets arrested the most.

Did the Kenny Irons midget in the suitcase post ever win an award? That post and the comments were absolutely hilarious.

Silver Surfer was pretty good, but I’d have to go with Fuck Lion as the post of the year.

You better hope the Police Dog agrees with the awardees, or else someone’s getting their blogging hand bit.

I’d agree on the Moreno post if I wasn’t still having nightmares from that game.

Charlie Weis and the Chocolate Factory (http://charlieweisandthechocolatefactory) for best new blog.

Why isn’t there a “Best Rack” category for Holly?

My posts of the year were the Georgia/Florida summery and the two bar scenes. Roxy Meat, the Verne Lundquist and Phil Steele EDSBS Lives were my media and I nominated pretty much every LSUFreek photoshop.

Can there be a new category: “HA HA I’M USING THE INTERNET” for most ridiculous, unfounded, moronic, and outright wrong proclamations in cfb?

 Or at least SOME kind of award of that nature to be awarded yearly to BruinsNation?

I’m conflicted. Since I really dont follow more than 2-3 sports blogs can I make an educated comparison? Or, does the fact that a more populer blog will naturally get more votes right the ship?

Hmmmmm……

The “We’re gonna need a bigger bottomless pit” pic (Sparty kicking Charlie Weis into the pit) has to be up there for best photoshop. There are probably better ones, but being a Spartan I have to nominate that one.

“Welcome to Number One” (the Deer Hunter boathouse scene) post for best post.

Gopher Nation (gophernation.blogspot.com) for the Job Award. 1-11, including the kicker of a 1-AA team guaranteeing victory over you and that team actually winning afterwards, is about as bad as it gets.

Regular features (I’m going for the entertaining rather than analytical side on this one): the Animated Blogpoll at Rocky Top Talk, and the movie-related Top 10 each week at Snarkastic. (That series also includes some good photoshops – particularly Week 14 (the 3rd Lord of the Rings one), which features Lou Holtz as Gollum, Houston Nutt as the Witch-King, and Steve Spurrier as Denethor.)

I posted my 2 nominations for best new blog on my blog. Just like Orson told me to. :-) Here is the link http://secfootballblogger.com/2008/01/21/secfb-nominations-for-best-new-blog-cfba-2008/ I will continue to post my nominations throughout the week.

Here is my nomination post:

http://niusports.blogspot.com/2008/01/2007-blogger-awards.html

Anybody on here that does not nominate EDSBS for every category possible is a disgrace to the community or, “family.”

You know, the family, as in, I hate you and you hate me, but, by God if someone outside were to attack you, well there would be Hell to pay for that unfortunate soul.

Actually, I also nominated the “Dueling Jews” as best weekly feature.

For best animated feature, I merely put, “LSU Freak – take your pick.”

I also put down Bruin Nation for best Pac 10 blog, and that was only due to their article about potential UCLA replacements, as in, you know, the Spurrier to UCLA article.

Were there a category for Best Unintentional Comedy, I would have also cast my vote for Bruin Nation.

I didn’t vote for Holly for anything for two reasons:

1) She gave me some girl from Star Trek for Friday cheesecake. That is just wrong, for many reasons.
2) She seems to be buddies with the fellow from Black Heart, Gold Pants, and not the funny one (OPS), either. After reading what MGoBlog did to them, although BHGP’s commentary replies were awesome, well I can’t look that page in the face, anymore.

Was it MGOBLUE that went to a pink background and kittens after Meehcigan lost to Appy State? That should win something!

Well look at the awards EDSBS got lastyear. It can not win back to back in the same category. Or Atleast that is what the rules say. Do not waist your vote.

See where EDSBS can win in the other categories. Like best regular feature and best community. I have not done my nomination for best community, but EDSBS will be on it. I will post throughout the week.

If you can’t repeat, then there is no reason to have these things, from my biased perspective.

What is this, tee ball?

Anyway, the work should be the reward itself, gentlemen.*

• - I would imagine it is since 99% of you do this for your own enjoyment, leisure, etc.

Coop @40 – walk away from the keyboard, sir. You’ve got no idea what you’re talking about.

No, I know exactly what happened, as it was a gigantic misunderstanding, and then MGoBlog and its “community” got involved and blah blah blah.

Of course what BHGP wrote was satire, and it was damn funny satire, and then out of nowhere the Michigan brigade wanted to set fire to the entire state of Iowa.

I read BHGP as much as any other site other than EDSBS, and I cannot tell you 3 of Iowa’s starters on the basketball squad.

Point being, those guys are humorous, and I don’t understand why their post that got so much flack was not taken in the spirit in which it was written.

When has anything on here been anything other than tongue in cheek, Peter? It is all a big joke, just as my previous remarks.

But, seriously, I am mad about Holly serving up nerd cheesecake. That was, literally, unacceptable.

:Coop: I’d like you to send me an email so we can discuss your distaste for me offline. To continually rail about it in a thread on EDSBS is completely ridiculous.
My apologies everyone.

jeebsy (at) gmail (dot) com

Happily

But, in case my last post didn’t clear it up, I am a fan.

I hope you see that. Expect mail, nonetheless.

Um, I don’t have a college football blog, but thanks for playing, Coop.

My first round of Nominations…

http://gate21.net/2008/01/22/2007-cfb-award-nominations-round-1/

As requestsed.

But, seriously, I am mad about Holly serving up nerd cheesecake. That was, literally, unacceptable.

Unacceptable is mixing up Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek. Gross, man.

Really? Fair enough. Not that it matters, but…

A) You do a great deal of the college football related photoshopping items for certain parties, and have posted them on your site. (Image category)

B) You do an extremely enjoyable weekly/daily feature of gmail chat postings in which college football is discussed while games are ongoing, and otherwise, which again I thoroughly enjoy. (Weekly Feature)

C) Commentary on various games and, guest commentaries that I would imagine you link to your site, e.g. doing it with a Vol fan and/or “Torture,” and Saturday football commentary on EDSBS, and your painted rack, well…

given the circumstances, it is entirely feasible to lump you in under the large circus tent we are dealing with here and now.

While I am not interested in being invited to your parties, I must say I enjoy reading from afar, the gmail conversations, anyway. Very afar…

And, to your buddy, again, I am with you guys on the RR fiasco. That was hilarious and I don’t understand why anyone would not take it in the spirit in which it was intended.

But, whatever.

I’m just a guest star, kiddo. The EDSBS/BHGP/BON/SMQ guys do it every day and are far more worthy of your votes.

(Also, as you so eloquently pointed out, we have differing tastes in women, so I’m clearly unworthy of validation.)

I’m going to exercise my God given right to not vote, mainly because this is the only college footblog I read on a daily basis.

The 304’s nominations for the CFBA2007, or as I like to call them, The Wuerffels.

http://wbgv.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/the-2007-college-football-blog-awards/

I just hope this guy can figure out a way to make a buck from his blog so he can keep it going. Way too funny!

I’m sorry, I didn’t leave any commentary in my post (http://whitebluedemonstrated.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/the-college-football-blog-awards/) with my nominations for a few categories, but I feel inclined to voice my support for Temple Football Forever (http://templefootballforever.blogspot.com/). I discovered this one this season leading up to the Penn State-Temple game. I say that anyone who can devote so much time, pride and effort into a blog about Temple football definitely deserves to be in the running for The Job Award, even though Temple showed signs of progress this season).

Here are my selections…
http://subwaydomer.blogspot.com/2008/01/2007-college-football-blogger-awards.html

Gate21 is the best-looking blogsite I’ve seen.

Busted Coverage is the best Big 10 blog … yes I love the pictures.

Tide Druid’s site suffered through its season with the most dignity.

This site is consistently the best, by the way. So, whatever Orson didn’t win last year, count it as a vote from Third Saturday in Blogtober.

Seriously, the rest of our nominations can be found at 3rdsaturdayinblogtober.wordpress.com

Me me me!!

Our nominations are here.

Thanks for taking the time to help put this together.

http://www.aseaofblue.com/story/2008/1/27/183842/103

You don’t know what you’re missing. Put this in your pipe and smoke it… “Craig’s Eggs” from www.TheBuckeyeBlog.com" has 14 installments of football-related social commentary that will leave you with tears running down your face or scratching your head. Award-winning Essay and Short Story literary guild expatriate takes no prisoners. Kurt Vonnegut Jr. meets Jimmy the Greek in Hell. Okay, maybe Andy Rooney or Mike Royko less 35 years. Over 128 links in 2007 without getting paid. Pretty un-American.

So, when are these awards announced?

These are sweet! I wish I had known about them earlier, I would have nominated some of my favorites. But maybe they did get nominated anyway. Oh well, either way, I’m throwing out some nominations next year and will encourage my readers to do the same. Thanks for helping keep our beloved college football blogosphere interesting!
