…and HLS didn’t score a single nomination.
What the hell!?
Now that I’ve calmed down and stopped screaming obscenities in Berber (a language of Nomadic tribesmen in Northern Africa (look it up)), and my neighbors have all stopped calling the feds, and the feds have all stopped “checking in” on me “for my own well being,” I’d like to address the nominations for each category. This is so not smurfy.
The Trev Alberts Quits To Do Construction Award
HLS Nomination Status: Not Nominated
HLS Appeal For Write-In Vote: This award is supposed to go to the funniest blog. How can a blog put up posts like this, this, and this, and not get a nomination for funniest blog?
Best New Blog
HLS Nomination Status: Not Nominated
HLS Appeal For Write-In Vote: Um, we’re new.
Best Podcast/Audio Thing
HLS Nomination Status: Not Nominated
HLS Appeal For Write-In Vote: We’ve got a podcast thingy. It’s cool. Sure, we don’t actually produce any of the content, but it’s still cool. When it works.
Best Mainstream Media Blog
HLS Nomination Status: Not Nominated
HLS Appeal For Write-In Vote: “Mainstream” is such a 1990’s term. In the current millenium, there is no “mainstream” and so HLS can neither be a part of the “mainstream” or apart from it. “Mainstream.” Meh. Hey, why don’t you just bring back the terms “gnarly” and “bad?”
The Keith Jackson Circa 1995 Award For Most Expressive Writing
HLS Nomination Status: Not Nominated
HLS Appeal For Write-In Vote: How many times does a blog need to drop the F-bomb or insult the children of an ESPN employee in order to be considered “expressive?”
The Jenn Sterger’s Rack Award for Best Image Gag
HLS Nomination Status: Not Nominated
HLS Appeal For Write-In Vote: Oh, c’mon! We know funny!
The Dr. Z Award for Cogent, Interesting Analysis
HLS Nomination Status: Not Nominated
HLS Appeal For Write-In Vote: [Looks up ‘cogent’] Yeah. Ok. Maybe we don’t so much win this one.
The Brady Quinn Award for Prettiest Looking Blog
HLS Nomination Status: Not Nominated
HLS Appeal For Write-In Vote: Uh. Look around, y’all. Y’all think this is easy? Y’all think we just roll out of bed in the morning lookin’ like this?
The Jay Sherman Award for Best Keeping Tabs On The Man
HLS Nomination Status: Not Nominated
HLS Appeal For Write-In Vote: Look, people, we keep tabs on the man. And we execute justice whenever we see fit. Just because we don’t go around blabbing about what the man is up to all the damn time doesn’t mean we aren’t keeping tabs on him, ya see? Just be glad that we can read your mail or listen to your phone conversations whenever we see fit. Ungrateful, little punks.
More nominations are rolling in from this little triumvirate five-umvirate of blogs that seem to control this thing, and still no nominations for HLS!
Best Regular Feature
HLS Nomination Status: Not Nominated
HLS Plea For Write-In Vote: Yeah, we’ll concede this one. We’re about as regular as Rosie O’Donnell after a Hostess binge.
Best Community Interaction (from you, the reader)
HLS Nomination Status: Not Nominated
HLS Plea For Write-In Vote: It’s not our fault you guys suck at interacting.
More to come, apparently. Great. Sorta like having your ex-girlfriend promise to come back tomorrow to tell you she hooked up with your best friend while you were in the UK.
The final bit of nominations have come along. Can’t say as I’m surprised or ‘nuthin. As there’s only one category for which we’d have been elligible in this final bit of back stabbery, I’ll only mention it and it alone. I welcome this final strike to my heart and soul, as I know it’s over now, and alls that’s left is for the ringin’ in my ears to fade away. Fade away with me into the nothingness…
Best Big East/Notre Dame Blog
HLS Nomination Status: If we were named Blue Gray Sky, Rakes of Mallow, or House Rock Built, our status would be freaking awesome.
HLS Plea For Write-In Vote: In a pool with the afore mentioned ND blogs, we’re definitely the 3rd best. That leaves them to figure out which one should be offended by such a statement.

It doesn’t matter as we your faithful readers know you are the best….Keep up the great work and all the best in 2007
The Biscuit
Hey guys, we have a female reader!!! Woo hooo!!!
domer.mq
Not so loud, Biscuit, or you’ll scare this one away likes ya did the other one.
Bad Kermit
In Biscuit’s defense, it was I who scared away the other one. She ran like I’d just pulled a “Salisbury” on her.
Q, maybe we could start having our own weekly awards during the season. That would be pretty fun, and it would give you more work. We could each be in charge of giving out an award, and they could have wacky names! It’d be like something the Sports Guy does, except it would actually be funny.
Bad Kermit
I just looked at the site, and it’s run by Michigan assclowns. Why do we care if we’re nominated, exactly?
domer.mq
Like I said, it’s a whole group of “elite” college football bloggers. You know, the sort that think it’s important to have “readers” and to “not rip off content.”
It’s pretty stupid.
The Biscuit
Let’s give out our own awards for blogs. Like now. How about one called “Lamest Awards Series by a Group of Assclowns”? I have a nomination for you…
GF
I assume you guys put youself 3rd behind BGS and Rakes of Mallow. The House Rock Built is not that great. Just so you know, I like this blog a lot because ya’ll are very quick to update it. Keep up the good work. One day, you will reach your destiny.
Bad Kermit
GF, it’s pronounced DENSITY. Density. Common mistake.
Tammy Summers
You’ll never scare this gal away as I love the site.Besides one has to be tough when they live in Southern California.Love You Guys….
ghostrider
