Win Some, Lose Some
…and the agony of defeat.
It’s our honor to share this college football blogosphere with so many talented and funny writers and photoshop gurus. We’re pleased to represent the Big 12. Kudos to Corn Nation, Big Red Network, Double T Nation and Rock M Nation for consistently churning out great content about their schools and the conference. We look forward to fostering more discussion with them in the coming years.
Unfortunately, it appears we were unable to win the Best New Blog when a few super-delegates were swayed away from our camp in the last days of the campaign as a result of some intra-Carnival squabbling among Barkers over erstwhile boy bands. Hopefully, this sort of thing won’t happen again. After this episode, it’s a wonder we have any readers left at all. That said, congrats to Black Heart Gold Pants for the win and to The Birddog, Gate 21 and West By God Virginia joining us in the not quite good enough camp.
Take it, Jim.

We won the equivalent of Most Outstanding Linebacker at the Texas football banquet.

You mean the Rooster Andrew good sportsmanship award presented by Taco Bell?

Is it tiresome being that cranky all the time, HenryJames?
Jesus…
Can’t even be gracious when being presented an award.

Perma-PMS makes a good point.
Except you should understand that HJ is embarrassed by self-congratulation (not self-abuse, mind you, he will visit it upon himself almost anywhere). He deflects with minimization.
So don’t mistake wiseacre nonchalance for a lack of appreciation from all of us. The other Big 12 blogs are very good indeed and we’re honored.

Congrats to Scott, Robert, and Rashad.

HJ acts all hard and gangsta- I happen to know he printed out the certificate and hung it in his office while practicing his acceptance address to the ficus tree.
I think it’s awesome. If it was a sexy leg lamp I’d be fighting with my wife over prime window real estate as we speak.

Horndfl is writing my acceptance speech.

HenryJames steadfastly refuses to join any club that would have him as a member.
Mack Brown once said HJ hates everyone else more than he likes himself. Or something.

HJ is only acknowledging the likelihood that his contributions are the reason Barking Carnival won one of the awards instead of both.

HJ celebrated last night with a Bloomin’ Onion and a pint of Foster’s.

You’re number #1 in my heart if that matters.

OK this is funny. I know we lost and shit due to HenryJames’ gayness but still.
