Oh Jimmy is the only one who has to deal with stupidity.

Good call on the hair guy. I kinda miss him.

Most Straw Men Created Poster -- Tough choice.

Um....what are you going to call these awards. Lets see The Oscars is already being used. Same with Grammys, Slammies, ESPYs, Razzies, all gone.

For The Boneyard...hmm, what should be the name of the trophy. "The Boneyards" doesn't work. Perhaps we split up the compound word to its components "The Yards" doesn't work. Hell I am out of ideas.

The - <--pretty obvious.
 
If you want to really get a reaction out of Sportsart, remind him that Edsall is not the greatest coach ever.

It isn't an award so much as an observation that the Football Board is light years ahead of the Basketball Board in terms of knowledge of the sport, which is weird given that we are UConn. It is weirder given that I am pretty sure that some of the posters on the basketball board played college or at least high school ball, and yet some of them, and the board as a whole, are almost completely ignorant about what is happening on the court. There are a few good posters, but they get drowned out. The two boards have always been that way, and it is disappointing because I actually like basketball a lot better but it is hard to participate in the discussion after a game because of all the idiots on that board.

Solid right here. I certainly don't like everything I read (probably because I'm more mad at the fact that I know that poster is right, but I wish they weren't), but I sure do think our football board is awesome. I usually take a little bit of a break during baseball season (I am a complete fantasy baseball geek), but check in from time to time. Some of the recruiting posts and offseason storyline posts are spot on. And of course, once we hit training camp and the football board gets cranking again, it's the first site I sign into every morning. love it. @Kgun7 's "Pivotal Play" series each week might be my favorite read during football season. We need to invest in some top-notch film equipment for him one of these years so he can dissect every game's pivotal play and bring it to life here. Some awesome conversation and analysis all year for sure.
