Big News From World Economic Forum in Davos

Barking Carnival has been nominated by one of the leading lights in the college football blogosphere for Best New Blog.

Best New Blog
The best new college football blog. CRITERIA: Must have launched sometime after last year’s national championship game. Transitioning to a new blog or affiliating with a network mid-stream doesn’t count.

This is a tough one because there are always great blogs popping up throughout the year. I have two blogs that started up this year in which I am torn on who to nominate and which one to put in the Best Big 12 blog category. After reading a bit more (actually flipping a coin), I am going to nominate the blog Barking Carnival. The Carnival is a conglomerate of writers that cover Texas Longhorn sports, and they do it really well. If you haven’t checked it out, I highly suggest that you do.

Many thanks to Brian @ In The Bleachers.

This means the writers’ cages will now be hosed out once per week vs. the old policy of once a fortnight. Greg Davis was unavailable for comment. Bill Little responded by tapping a spoon on the cage bars thusly:

    Does this mean we all get a raise? We deserve one at least as much as Greg Davis does.

    If drafted, I will not run.

    If nominated, I will not accept.

    If elected, I will not serve.

    I think we should give Henry James not only a raise, but the new title of co-assistant-head-moderator.

    Well, that’s just ducky.

    Do you really want the attention? Before you know it, this place will be overrun by pimple-faced, flaming, no-talent hacks.

    Posting here will be like bar-hopping shirtless in West Hollywood, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    Chooky once saw Cisco Adler’s band Whitestarr at the Viper Room.

    The plaque for the alternates is in the ladies room.

    Doing a Google image search on Cisco Adler is a frightening, yet compelling, experience.

    “Chooky once saw Cisco Adler’s band Whitestarr at the Viper Room.”

    Is there still a drool stain on the sidewalk where River Phoenix foshizzled?

    The future of this blog is bright, but it is not the supernova that is The Major.

    Isn’t that a part of the hiring criteria here?

    Long ago I saw a job posting on Hotjobs.com for this site. It went something like this:

    “If you’ve never been convicted of pedophelia, a lucrative job awaits you at Barking Carnival.com. Excellent dental. DOE.

    If you have been convicted of pedophelia, go back to texags.com and continue posting.”

    OK. So I voted you guys until I realized that you don’t do Pac 10. Hey, you might still win. Good luck!

    We had a whole thing about Reggie Bush a few days ago.

    I predict you fuckers will win in a landslide, primarily on the strength of the gay vote, and of course, your own.

    We haven’t seen such richly deserved recognition since the Texas football banquet.
