Stupid Underdog Picks - Awards Ceremony!!
After a season of fierce competition, it's time to present some awards!! I hope that everyone who participated enjoyed playing the game this year.
Our first award is presented to... radiognome3, for maintaining resiliency under duress!!
radiognome3 wrote:You can!! As a reward for your continued efforts, and to keep you psyched-up for whatever next year's game may be... you are hereby presented with this most inspiring motivational poster!!
Of all the people that have chosen underdogs every week of this game, I probably have the least points - can I win something for that?
Congratulations, radiognome3!!
For their finishes in the Top 5, our BRONZE award goes to... managerr and sealbach!!
Managerr, man - your prize was TOUGH, given how both your boys, and the WAC in general, had a rough year in '08. However, you DO have that terrific win against the Bulldogs to hang your hat upon!!
The Warriors score their first-ever road win against a ranked opponent... hell yeah!!
Seal, as your prize, your arch-rivals had their regrettable season for the ages which you Buckeyes can dog 'em about for years...
Tressel: "Dayum, Rich - tough year you've had, buddy!! I hope it'll get better for you next year... OK, not really. Heh."
Congratulations, managerr and sealbach!!
For finishing in 3rd place, the SILVER award goes to... yours truly, who may have received the very best prize of all...
- Bye-BYE, Ty... you won't be missed!!!!!!!!
For our 2nd place contestant, our GOLD award goes to... someonestolemyfries!! Fries, your prize (ooooh, that rhymes!) package includes some phenomenal things goin' down for SU athletics... first, a likable turn of events for your football team...
- Buh-bye, Greggie!!
...and, a very good start to your team's hoops season!! Here's a fellow fan who wishes to celebrate that good start with you...
And finally - yelling for your sports teams can make a person HONGRY!! To the culprit who gave you cause for the moniker you've selected... rogue pommes frites pilferer be damned... fries WILL be had!!
- Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
An endless supply of fries... French Fries, forever!!
Congratulations, someonestolemyfries!!
And last, but certainly not least... for her superlative 1st place result, the championship PLATINUM award goes to...alabamacandace!!
Candace was rewarded with the regular season of her boys ending on a very good note...
...only to see things potentially getting even better!!!
- "Hi, my name is Gene. Yeah, I know you're not so happy right now..."
And finally, we announce her GRAND PRIZE PACKAGE... Candace shall receive two, count 'em, TWO extra-special rewards which have been specifically selected for her, everso generously donated by the Awards Committee:
First - a spin 'round the track (literally!) at Talladega Superspeedway, riding with that boy with the smooooooth ol' Southahn drawl, Elliot Sadler!! (Elliot's in the #38 car, if you hadn't already guessed...)
And Last - a memorable Summer Vacation with a collection of complete strangers, courtesy of CBS!!
A roar erupts amongst the Crimson Tide faithful upon the announcement of Candace's victory!!!
Congratulations, alabamacandace!!
