Here, we will select and recognize the the outstanding threads and performances of the past 13 months.

Except for the "Hall of Fame" categories, discussed below, the awards will be presented for efforts & achievements that occurred between June 1, 2006, and July 20, 2007.

Awards will be as follows:

Four Individual Poster Awards for overall excellent performance through the year.

This is the Orange Mane Hall of Fame. (This year, we will induct three new members.

Best Threads

Best Preseason Thread
Best Regular Season Thread
Best Postseason Thread
Best Offseason Thread
Best Non-NFL Sports Thread
Best Totally Off-Topic Thread

-------------------------------------

Nominations will open today, and will continue through August 4, 2007.

There are two ways in which you can nominate someone (or some thread) as the case may be.

(1) Below this thread, in this forum, will be individual threads for each of the categories. You can post your nomination in the appropriate category.

(2) Or, if you want to remain anonymous, you can PM me with your nominations.

You can also "second" and "third" and "fourth" nominations, etc. In fact, this would be a good idea to insure that your nominated people reach the "finals."
If some category gets a zillion "tied" nominations, I will trim it down as fairly as possible - - taking into account people nominated multiple times, general variety, and so forth. But this particular part will be a matter of my unfettered discretion.

After the nominations are closed, I will create polls in this forum with the top nominations in each category for people to cast their votes for the winners. (The identities of the persons voting will not be disclosed.)

Subsequently, we will tally the votes and announce the winners!

BroncoBuff · 07-21-2007, 07:11 AM

Best Totally Off-Topic Thread: For his truly prolific and prodigious body of work, I nominate claviculasolomonis in a walk. Some of the most mind-expanding topics and stories all collected together right here on the Mane. He should have a Room dedicated only to all those threads.

Best Offseason Thread: I nominate listopencil's "Post a Picture From the Last Time KC Won a Super Bowl" Thread, an instant classic.

Poster of the Year: I nominate RhymesayersDU. He's all over the board - football, basketball, WARRP Room, off-topics, Sopranos, LOST, etc... Always good, informative takes, never too L O N G , he doesn't get angry or outta line, and the Weight Loss thread was his idea!

I nominate Rhymesayers...

POSTER OF THE YEAR
. . . . . . . . . . . 2006-07

Rookie of the Year: I nominate dragondawg - I really don't know who else should be nominated here, but ... dawg is the perfect rookie, NEVER argues, RARELY even gives many opinions. Just scours the newspapers and internet for Broncos articles and posts every one of them. And videos.

I nominate dragondawg ...

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

Atlas · 07-21-2007, 08:03 AM

yeah whatever Buff says. He does all my thinking and heavy lifting for me.

CBF1 · 07-21-2007, 01:14 PM

I might nominate Slap for everything. He can even get ROY since he left then came back

BroncoBuff · 07-21-2007, 03:52 PM

I just noticed listo's picture thread is too old - December 2005. It should move to 'Ring of Fame Threads' though.

I nominate bronco610. All you have to due is go to the Bike for Sam thread to see why. Heck he should be poster of the year.

EDIT: Whoops he has been a member since 2005. I nominate him for POY then.

Offseason Thread of the Year: This is the easiest one of them all. A Bike for Sam.

theAPAOps5 · 07-21-2007, 03:56 PM

Need I say more.

I like bronco610 but he threatened to beat up boob. We can't have our rookie posters beating up our trolls!

theAPAOps5 · 07-21-2007, 04:58 PM

All the more reason to vote

I'll give Kaylor AND SoCal POY for their camp reports alone.

I'd second that

theAPAOps5 · 07-21-2007, 06:43 PM

Lynch is a decent choice for ROY.

BroncoBuff · 07-21-2007, 07:57 PM

SoCal should win the best game-analysis or draft analysis for sure .... but the camp reports deserve some separate award - like MVP or something.

I think of POY as being a variety of things - in a variety of places, but SoCal is definitely Most Valuable Poster - MVP.

Whadd'ya say, Old Dude? Can we add an 'MVP' Award?

BroncoBuff · 07-21-2007, 08:35 PM

Avatars: I'm not sure if it's a winner, but I loved this one:

If it's an original picture, I nominate it! Sorry, but I'm not 100% sure whose it was (ak1971?)

And definitely bronco610 and ApaOps5 are right in the thick of ROY contention....

And "Best Performance by a Rival Fan in Any Thread" ... I'm not sure which thread exactly, but Lone Bolt is a damn good poster.

theAPAOps5 · 07-21-2007, 08:36 PM

Xenos is another great rival poster. I like both those guys. SirCheyenne(sp?) is a great KC poster too.

With this info he just got my vote... Beating trolls up is high up on my list.

I agree but rookie posters shouldn't be able to do until the vets get the first crack at them.. Dammit they have to wait their turn. They just can't come in here and beat our trolls up before we get a shot!! It just isn't right!!

Dude, he's not a KC fan. He's a home-grown Bronco fan!

You crazyass!

Whoops I think I mixing up posters then. Infact I know I am now. I was thinking of NaptownChief he is one of the few good KC poster. Man I a dumb dumb.

Jason in LA · 07-22-2007, 11:42 AM

I'm going with Lynchmob for ROY. Mostly because I can't think of anything about those other two guys nominated (no disrepect to you guys

). I actually remember a lot of his posts, so he's left his mark in my book.

TheDave · 07-22-2007, 01:18 PM

So who is in the HOF already?

And as for rookie Bronco610 all the way... and it has little to do with the bike. Threatening to beat up the blob gets high marks in my book!

As for the greatest meltdown... Take your pick from one of the numerous free slap threads.
