And yes, I realize that the title of this award is disjointed from the meaning we gave it, but K-Man loved the title so much I decided not to change it.

It's a great title regardless

Makes me chuckle

yeah..i initially understood it to mean something entirely different

and frankly, more appropriate given its namesake…

These polls are getting ridiculously hard.

I think thats a testament to all the great posters and contributors we have at Tomahawknation.

This is truly the best FSU fansite on the net, bar none.

We should have a poll to determine the nominees for best poll.

I have to go with Fsued

because it was gutsy, and the piece contains accurate prophecies that have not yet come to pass. He is charming and self-deprecating, but If you ever want to know where FSU has been and where it’s going, ask Fsued.

Tomahawk Nation didn't cause my divorce. It was merely a contributing factor.

I went with CJNole just because of his intuition on Werner

All were good choices.

I rolled a die and it came up 4. Of course in A2D there isn’t a 4 so I went with Fsued. I’m sorry Natty, there really is no point to this comment.

That's very, very kind

But age is about the only thing I bring to this site — and FrankD is much better on history than I am. The real pros are the ones you see regularly. Thanks, though … even my ancient ego can use a boost!

No way, you da man.

I'm going to be completely honest, and say that all of these helped me in some way or another.

I read most every article, fanshot, and fanpost. And I am never disappointed in the quality. I appreciate all the work y’all do. Sometimes the stats get a little overwhelming for me, because I’m really not good at the maths. But I truly appreciate all the hard work each one of these posters did. Can I vote for them all?
