BCB Awards
by Cubbie-Tim on Jan 29, 2010 3:23 PM CST
Email
PrintOk, I been thinking and I believe we need to do this. Lets have some fun while waiting for the next move by Hendry or for ST to start. Below I will list some catagories, you email me (timothy.coyle76 at gmail dot com) who you believe should win each. I will then tally the votes and I will post a future post with the top 5 nominees for each catagory, from which we can then award our BCB Awards
And now the ballot:
Thread derailer/hijacker – most likely to go off subject:
Wordmeister – most eloquent:
Class clown – most likely to crack wise:
WTF? Award – least likely to be fully understood:
Hot head - most likely to go boom:
Wit – always quick with a punch line:
Most informative:
Mr. (Ms.) Happypants – always has something nice to say:
Mr. (Ms.) Grumpypants always a curmudgeon:
Best BCB thread fight (nominate a thread):
Most snarkiest:
Favorite SBNation blog (not including BCB):
Added
ERICHANNAAWARD (the most sensible poster when it comes to trade ides, ERICHANNA is not eligible)
GETITDONEJIM favorite trade or signing during 2009
Legendary Thread – (Obviously) Awarded to the Most Epic Thread of the year
FYI THESE ARE FOR 2009. NOMINATING 2010 IS A LITTLE EARLY

That would be called the Pound Sand Award, I think.
"You can observe a lot just by watching." ~ Yogi Berra
anyone and everyone can be nominated
so yes, you can nominate yourself.
I would say no more than 3 nominees per topic from each poster, so i can make a spreadsheet, and then i can post the finals (top nominees for each topic) which will then be voted again.

in each email include your BCB Name in the subject line
and these are based on 2009, and for 2010 we can have another one, maybe include some new catagories, etc. I am open to suggestions

anyone and everyone who posts is able to be nominated

So...
Your going to make a “suck up” award? NICE.
"Ask Dad. He'll know. And on the off chance he doesn't, he'll make something up"
i replied to wrong one
and no there will not be a suck up award
yes Al and myself are able to be nominated

Oh ok
Just checking I figured with the “Mr/Mrs. Grumpypants” and “Hot head” awards – anything was on the table.
"Ask Dad. He'll know. And on the off chance he doesn't, he'll make something up"
if people believe we should add it
i can
do people want that or another catagory added (within reason) I am open to suggestions
Wait for it....POUND SAND Without me this board is Al Yellon talking to himself.....................by BLou
I dunno
On second thoughts it could hurt someones feelers. Unlike the “Hot heads” or “Grumpys”. The suckups usually fall into the Happypants/overly complimentary category.

In late March, then we can be enemies during the baseball season. Besides, the Cubs have perhaps the most loyal baseball fanbase in the country. You have to respect that.

the other two, well we all use TWSS often (or various forms of it), and the flame out i will leave up to general census.
do people want that one added or no?

Tim: Now remember, in order to NOT hurt someone's feelings...
…you should adopt the announcement style of the Oscars, Emmys, etc.
Instead of saying: “And the WINNER is:”, you instead say: “And the BCB award GOES TO:”…
And for those of us who DON’T win, there are two things to remember:
1. SMILE. The cameras will be on you for your reaction to the announcement and you don’t want to have a “WTF?” look on your face and
2. It’s an HONOR simply to be NOMINATED. Don’t worry about that “bridesmaid” feel. It’ll pass…eventually…years later…amid a wash of pills and booze and rehab(s)… (hey, this sounds like “The MacKenzie Phillips Story”, coming this Spring to the Lifetime Channel)
Best of luck everyone!

Well, fun isn't the word I use when I watch Wisconsin basketball.
Sometimes it’s painful to watch. Like “fingernails on a chalkboard” annoying.
That being said, UW simply MUST win the game to have any realistic shot at the BT title. They need it much worse than the Spartans. They’ve had a long layoff to prepare for MSU, so I think the Badgers will win.
But you never know. If MSU somehow wins in Madison, they “could” run the table. A win there would be THAT big for MSU.

True, but stranger things have happened in the BT, so you never know.
In 1979, OSU stood at 8-0 and MSU was 4-4 in the BT. We won it with a 13-5 mark. Of course, having Earvin Johnson and Greg Kelser helped.
Izzo still thinks a 4 loss team could win the BT.
And we have to play at UW tonight, at Illinois, and PU twice. And after the IU nearly stole one at UI the other night, going to play IU in Bloomington isn’t a sure thing.
I spoke with a couple of Purdue fans at the Cubs Convention right after NU upset PU, giving PU their 3rd loss. The dad and his son were certain that PU’s chance at the title was gone. I told them about 1979, and they perked up a bit.
So until we’re 1 game up with none to play, I’m not comfortable…
Now only 12,859 on the "Cubs Season Tickets Waiting List"...
Sure - never assume
But UW would really have to have a lot go their way – especially with Leuer still out.
A win at Purdue and Michigan hanging on last week against MSU would have made me pretty optimistic, but . . .

Most of the heavy lifting part of the schedule for UW is done though, right?
If they win tonight, then having the Spartans lose another couple of games over the next 8 isn’t all that far-fetched. 15-3 or 14-4 could win at least a share.
So tonight IS big for UW. They definitely have more at stake.
May the flopping begin!
Now only 12,859 on the "Cubs Season Tickets Waiting List"...
Yes, but -
They still have to play at Illinois, Michy, and Minny. Not guaranteed wins.
I know why Izzo’s pissed – that dunk a few years ago. I didn’t like it either, but he needs to let it go.

I think Tom has. It's the media that keeps bringing it up, year after year...
And Bo talked to the kid. The kid made a mistake. He learned. As you said, time to move on…
Good luck. I hope we win, but most of all, I hope no one gets injured. That’s the wild card. We’ve been relatively healthy once we got into BT play.
Now only 12,859 on the "Cubs Season Tickets Waiting List"...
Good luck to you as well, sir.
Leuer was a key injury, but so was Turner, Coble, etc. – no one’s going to feel sorry for us.
You might find this interesting if you haven’t already seen it – saw it after I commented above.

...(sigh)...being a Cubs fan trains me for these moments...
The loss doesn’t bother me. Losing Lucas to an injury for any extended period of time will be a HUGE loss. Now we’ll see what this team is really made of and who steps up. Paging Mr. Morgan…
Now only 12,859 on the "Cubs Season Tickets Waiting List"...
Yeah, that was a tough break
Maybe he won’t miss more than a game.

I'm betting he sits for (at) UI and if able, is back next week for the home game with PU
Now only 12,859 on the "Cubs Season Tickets Waiting List"...
Probably a good plan
Even if he feels ready for UI, rest wouldn’t be a bad idea.
PU is tougher than their record, too.
An interesting thought about how far UW has come – beating a 9-0 Big Ten team, #5 in the country – and the court wasn’t stormed.

Well, beating us in Madison is old hat! (at least for the last 10 years)...
Ho-HUM…
Truth be told, I couldn’t watch the game. My dish went out last night. Maybe it was for the best. The highlights on ESPN were nauseating enough…
Now only 12,859 on the "Cubs Season Tickets Waiting List"...
Yeah, you didn't miss much from your perspective
It wasn’t ever close after 10-1, really.

Looks like Lucas has only a high ankle sprain. No break or fracture.
So I’m betting he doesn’t play at UI and may see some limited time off the bench vs. PU back at Breslin. He’ll have to slowly work his way back in. Maybe it’ll be good for us in the long run. The same thing happened in 2000 with Mateen Cleaves going down for two months with an injury. The team learned it was pretty good even when he wasn’t able to play. That confidence paid off later and resulted in a National Championship. Sometimes those things that seem tragic in the short run work out in the long run.
Now only 12,859 on the "Cubs Season Tickets Waiting List"...
Good point
Leuer’s injury may have done the same for UW. MSU’s fate is still in their own hands for the Big Ten season, but the next couple of weeks should be interesting.

And it could be the final game.

Regardless of what happens,

Who cares if he's a Cubs fan? This is a football forum! He is a PACKER fan as well. So, from now until March, I’m sure he’ll dedicate a lot of his time here. In late March, then we can be enemies during the baseball season. Besides, the Cubs have perhaps the most loyal baseball fanbase in the country. You have to respect that.
