The 2011 Tomahawk Nation Tommy Awards: Commenter of the Year

PrintToday we begin the process of handing out an extraordinary honor. To be named Commenter of the Year is to be selected by the community as the poster with the best body of commenting work over the last year out of 6,404 (as of this moment) members. But, first thing's first - vote for our previous five awards if you've yet to do so.
Story/Editorial of the Year (voting closes tomorrow!)
Fanpost of the Year (voting closes Saturday)
DocHoliday2 MS Paint/Photoshop Award
tricknole Self-Fulfilling Prophecy Award
The penultimate award of our series will go to one of these five nominees one week from today. Deliberate carefully, then cast your vote in the poll at the bottom of the page.
A. Dr. Kenneth Noisewater - The famed king of sarcasm, wit, and chronicling of statistics had a spectacular 2011. DKN and his loyal staff combed through the film of each game to provide a wealth of information to the TN community and somehow found time to compile an astounding volume of informative and hilarious comments as well. A tip of the hat to the good doctor - a strong candidate for TN's commmenter of 2011 and the hands-down winner for testicle of the year.
2. onebarrelrum - Despite implications from his screen name, OBR's comments are remarkably lucid for the vast majority of the time. He has served his time under the aforementioned doctor compiling play-by-play statistics throughout the 2011 season, also serving as TN's resident blogpoll manager. OBR has consistently provided informed and funny commentary and is also quite worthy of community recognition.
D. FSU - Our resident female strategy analyst has shaken off allegations of performance-enhancers stemming from having two brains inside of her by remaining an excellent commenter after the birth of her daughter. Always well-informed and witty, FSU provides excellent information from a standpoint of inside-program logistics. We are glad to have FSU as a oft-contributing TN member and proudly nominate her for Commenter of the Year honors.
IX. LouC/TheJim - This pair of commenters is like the Tomahawknation version of MasterBlaster. We're not really sure which one of them is the little guy in this dynamic-duo, but that's really neither here nor there. The thought provoking discussions LouC and TheJim provided over the course of 2011 in relation to the ongoing conference-realignment-musical-chair-marathon was nothing short of amazing.
Lavender. Michael@TN - Since joining the TN staff, Michael has been dominating the recruiting forums like Charlie Weis dominates a Shoney's breakfast bar. His incredible insight on recruit potential as well as fully-researched factoids on combine numbers have bolstered the recruiting side of Tomahawknation in a way that might be easy to take for granted by the casual reader, but is undeniably appreciated by the TN staff.

Are you kidding me with this one?
I cannot choose just one. The site wouldn’t be the same without DKN. OBR is a top notch candidate for a hurry-up one-liner. FSU could take any of you head-on and make you regret a poor choice in words. LouC and TheJim were clutch with the realignment talk. Michael does an admirable job with making the recruiting talk accessible to all knowledge levels.
I may have to sit this one out. It’s like picking my favorite flavor of cookie. They all hit the spot at one point or another. Awards for all!

I hear you
We thought this one might be the hardest yet.
I was serious when I said they would keep getting harder each week :)

Hitting refresh often is fun on this one.
FSU busted out of the gates quickly but a slow and steady pace has DKN pulling ahead and Michael@TN close on her heels.
Would love to have a bookie available to cover this one!
Come on OBR/LouC/TheJim – get busy drumming up fan support. :)

michael rogner was my write-in choice
basketball fans UNITE!
fair enough
just know that fsu hoops has two victories over #1 ranked teams in the past 9 years…
whatcha got, football? ;)
Why limit it to last 9 years...
TeeHee….You get no love in a poll when the football team can equal your score or outscore you (FB: 41 vs. Duke, 41 vs. Maryland, 62 vs. Charleston Southern – MBB: 41 vs. Havard). No poll votes/points for you! (Said in Soup Nazi voice) LOL ;)
duke maryland and charleston southern?
thats a strong sampling of opponents (cue boise state graphic)
and im not sure either one of us wants to bring up the ‘o’ word
(not that word, ‘offense’) ;p
overpowering, even overwhelming...
(we are still talking about fsu mens hoops, right?)
Also has some embarrassing losses
Last year’s loss to Auburn (RPI of roughly 250 IIRC) was worse than anything you can find in football. If we had lost to ULM this year, it would have been about that bad.

This is the toughest vote yet.
Seriously, all of these people have provided very good insight on this website.
I have to think about this one.

Somebody help Lou and Jim out.
There sitting at 0.5 votes per commenter.

Formerly known as 'stilts'
Just did
they made this website the one stop shop for me with conference realignment. Tons of misinformation out there regarding that topic.

Can I write-in for DRusso?
When he isn’t applying his own brand of smartass and spitting of game to potential recruits family members, he regularly supplies excellent insight into eveything OL and DL related.

Big DKN fan
Sorry everyone else. But this one was easy. The amount of time it much have taken to put those stats together is insane. Plus the dude is hilarious.

Michael
Others I read and they have have been positing longer.
Michael is the best free RECRUITING GUY, ever. He beats most of the paid guys and does not give us wild a_ _ Speculation or hints.
Tough choice, but Michael has such good information about recruiting.
Also, no DRusso?

And others asking, I’m informed the Andrew Dice Clay impersonation vote will be next week.

Despite my deep seated hatred, my contempt, and the fact he simply disgusts me, I'm gonna have to vote for the despicable DKN.
Don’t get me wrong, there is a valid reason why every other candidate deserves the Tommy also, but the miserable, pathetic, slimy, wretched and vile DKN and his pitiful minions put in hours upon hours of reviewing every single snap (except garbage time) for every single game played this year to present us with the why’s and how’s of what happened on the field. For that reason I shall cast my vote for loathsome, depraved, reprehensible and obnoxious Dr. Kenneth Noisewater.
Signed,
Your biggest fan

Testicle of the year
“and the hands-down winner for testicle of the year.” So what exactly did DKN do to win this prestigious award?

and now the secret of Oz has been revealed. Didn’t know. Just thought the name was the most intriguing thing since my belly button when I was 11 months old. Still, the guy is great around here.

He’s witty, says what he thinks, and only uses one screenname.

4 straight consonants to start a screen name either means you have balls...
….or you’re a potential terrorist.
and he speaks in third person
‘manny ramirez is a changed man…’
Since Frank has been conspired against
I am casting a vote for onebarrelrum as his mentor and biggest fan.
Should we have a contest as to who can stir up hatred and discontent, I nominate myself. This would also apply should we have contest concerning experts on copper deficiency.

Doc- you already got an award named in your honor
That is like saying you are sad you didn’t win the Stanley Cup this year, when your name is Lord Stanley. Your legacy is secure.
Standing Tall.
It was really hard to pick the final nominees, for what it's worth.
We have so many members who contribute it’s ridiculous. Very hard to narrow down all these contests to 5 or 6 names.

They are all good
One thing I like about this site is the feeling you are conferring with real people and not some corporate entity.
I realize that fsu44, I am humbled to even be mentioned for an award (although allowing me to lose badly) I mention this because some clown on the scout forum where I show up once in awhile said "you are so predictable, that is why everybody on TN hates you! LOL

This is a fantastic poll.
'Gentlemen, it is better to have died a small boy than to fumble this football.' John Heisman
Michael pulls within 3!!
'Gentlemen, it is better to have died a small boy than to fumble this football.' John Heisman
Michael got screwed being listed as Lavender.
It subconsciously makes you not want to vote for him… unless you’re a big potpourri fan.
If FSU were listed under lavender (AGAIN)
it would be a sexist conspiracy. Just saying….

Well, who amongst us didn't see a battle of the "stats nerds" versus the "recruiting geeks" coming? Could get ugly.

I will have to see a statistical graph before I buy in
Comments made during garbage time will not be recognized either.

From this point forward I would also appreciate it if nobody uses the term conspiracist

This is by far the most difficult vote
I can’t take this kind of angst in an election year.
Much better. Thanks for asking.
This crazy winter has been tough on her and her asthma, but she’s a trooper. Congratulations on your new little girl! I know you must be heaven:)
ot - is anyone watching the 'gameday' show on espn?
they just cut to southbend for the nd/uconn game and had a clip of some domer band geeks doing the ‘we are…ND’ chant -
it was among the saddest displays of co-edness ive ever seen,
and the contrast from the fsu crowd to the domer ladies nearly made my tv cry..
