Where is the damned explanation for each candidate? Tom Benson is in there....why? WTF kinda bullshit are you pushing here?
On another football forum that I frequent, for the last few years I have been running a Douche of the Year competition covering all of football (college and pro). I'll admit I ripped off the original idea from SPS, but they haven't run it in a bit, so it is mine now.
The official title for the tournament is The Ben Roethlisberger Douche of the Year competition, as he won the first tournament. Since then, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals and Notre Dame have won. I also added the Dan Snyder Memorial Lifetime Douchievement Hall of Fame, which is currently occupied by Dan Snyder, Art Modell, and Craig James.
The reason I bring it up to you guys? The whole time I have been running this tournament, I have been hoping for a year where Ole Miss as a whole could compete. This is their year. With a bit of persuasive writing and a bunch of copy and paste from Coach's timeline thread, I managed to get them seeded as the top seed in the wildcard bracket. This is the bracket this year (designed by a guy who is a professional graphics design guy):

All I ask of you guys is this: Write as much as you can about how awful Ole Miss is, but in such a way that non MSU people would care. This means no whiny rivalry stuff, no dumb nick names, no rivals.com style puns. I hope to make a strong enough case that a moderately popular national board learns how awful of a year they are having.
Also, for fun, I'd like to see your opinions on the tournament and learn what your picks would be and why. The reasons that most of them are douches for the year should be obvious, but I can clarify if needed. The only match that has been run so far is Incognito easily crushing Lewan, and currently Aldon Smith is beating Arian Foster.
Huh?

hilarious.
Hostile much? I can't just post the explanation for all of the nominees here, but I will post the requested ones. The people on the other forum did the nominating, the only group I nominated was OM. For the nomination process, anyone who made a nomination had to say why, and I copy and pasted those explanations to a word document to use whenever the douche was involved in a showdown (I've been running one match every two days). I do not know what you are insinuating with the "WTF kinda bullshit are you pushing here?" comment.Originally Posted by jbjones
For Benson, this is what the nominator said:
He used money and influence to try to get around the CBA to screw injured players. Douche move in my opinion.
I'm biased, but Ole Miss would beat Incognito in the Championship.
Well done
Well damn...I can't just post the explanation for all of the nominees here,

I would like to nominate two racists: Riley Cooper and Donald Sterling. Go ahead and throw in Sterling's bimbo too. And while you're at it you can throw in Commish Goodell and the Indy Colts owner.
Death penalty or bust!!!***
I nominate Bob Costas in the media division.
Dennis Rodman - North Korea lovin'
the beach cussing incident comes to mind.

Trent Lott's brothers melt down at The Egg Bowl in Jackson many years ago. On camera dropping N bombs at our players on the sidelines. Timeless.

Tom Benson is a SAINT!
Aldon Smith took down Arian Foster convincingly.
Ray Rice is pitching a shut out against Case McCoy.
I have that in the short write up I did for them. This is what it looks like:
Ole Miss

Where can we vote?
It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22
You really can't. This is something that I am running on another forum that costs $10 (one time fee) to sign up for. I'd be willing, however, to give you guys my vote, and if it is persuasive enough it can be worth ~5% of the total vote.
I just made this thread to brag about this kind of fun thing I am doing and to smugly celebrate getting Ole Miss a number one seed.
I agree Dan Synder is a douche. He has run a once proud franchise into the ground with boneheaded personnel moves and a terrible front office.
