OFFICIAL 2012 HN POSTER AWARDS

The Committee has two words for folks like you who think you can just show up and get special recognition: Fat Cat. 2012 was the year the fat cat re-invaded the Iowa football program from its head coach on down. It appears that this mentality has permeated down to the fan base as well.

The Committee has made it clear that this is Marine Corps style tough love and hopes to see a better performance in 2013.

I don't care, as I already have a lifetime achievement award, but what about the others proles? They've been saving their allowance for weeks to see this post. What am I supposed to tell them? Just what the heck am I supposed to tell them?!?!
 
Wow. Am I the only one thinking "Who really gives a flying f*** about an internet message board award" ? Take this post and stick it. If that withdraws me from future lame awards then I might just cry myself to sleep tonight.

You go with the UofI public relations strategy, you tell them nothing. Avoid the questions at all costs, no matter how much your image and reputation will suffer.

Tell them that life is full of a series of disappointments. There would be no 1%ers (like yourself) if there weren't a 99% to sit idly under them. Sometimes, everybody doesn't get a ribbon. The fact that you have to ask makes The Committee question whether or not you are worthy of a lifetime achievement award.

If you didn't care, you wouldn't have read this thread or responded. The Committee likes moxie, and you kid, got moxie. The calendar on the 2013 awards doesn't begin until midnight tonight, so save your energy.
 
dave - your work looks good, the handicappers like you for an early favorite for Poster of the Year in 2013. Please don't disqualify yourself.

OK4P, please send me the list of all the rules to ensure I don't disqualify myself AGAIN. Which I still blame on Ghost, my orientation from him was a load of crap. Damn this butthurt is killing me!

Please ensure the rules are in crayon and on high quality construction paper. Also a commplementary pair of scissors and a bottle of elmer's glue would also be a nice way to top it all off.

Thanks

There's a fine line between moxie and butthurt.

The Committee delegated the formation of a separate slate of awards called the "Proles Choice Awards" where each and every one of you would have had a say in the final outcome of the awards. A Secretary was appointed to run these awards. She chose not to.

Can you provide a link to where I was supposed to do this? I'm really confused and feel like I let everyone down. ( I am really, really sorry guys) It's not to late to get these awards out, since the end of the year is at the end of today. You don't want to hand them out too early when there's a good 12 hours left where a prole can overtake another prole for an award.

If anyone wants to submit any poster nominations for proles choice awards, please PM me so it will be a surprise to the winners. Or if you have an idea for an award but want to leave it up to the sub committee to select a winner, we can do that.

In response to that certain poster who caused the changes to the awards this year, The Committee issues the following statement:

You have been retroactively stripped of the violentacrez troll of the year award and the nice things The Committee said about your trolling abilities are all hereby rescinded. You, sir, are not a true troll. A true troll would relish in the fact that he ruined the awards for everyone and take great pleasure in knowing that his behaviors angered so many people so greatly. You, sir, have demonstrated that you have a conscience by attempting to usurp the authority vested in The Committee and forming your own democratic committee. A true troll would never do such a thing. You are an amateur and The Committee takes great satisfaction in exposing you for the amateur troll that you are.

As Dean of posters, I have a responsibility inherent to my stature as an honored leader in this community. While The Committee may take delight in ruining the Christmases of 30 people, I took no pleasure in that. It truly speaks to the wholesale "Ferentzing" of The Committee and it's mission. Like Ferentz, they don't care about anything but their own comfort. Like Ferentz, they demand things are done their way, even when it is clearly wrong. Like Ferentz, they are coasting on their past success despite performing poorly. And like Ferentz, they get defensive when asked to be held accountable for their mediocre output.

Much like Ferentz is holding the fans hostage, you gentlemen are holding my Dean constituents hostage because of a beef with me. I will not stand for this.

Well sir, I may be a prole who can't do anything to get the real Ferentz fired, but I sure as hell have the power to put pressure on the Ferentz Committee. I DEMAND a new HN Poster awards be issued to reward those who went above and beyond. I know The Committee does not want to post in a place where excellence is not rewarded. Where hard work does not receive accolades. Where prole idiots who start thirteen new threads after a loss think they are just as valuable to this board as a person like Norwalk or Theboat.

Ferentz Committee, my offer is this. Re-issue the awards immediately. In exchange, I will voluntarily disqualify myself from any and all awards for this year, with an assurance that objectionable behavior such as you saw will not continue.

A refusal to accept this offer will result in a new, non-Ferentz Committee issuing independent awards on Saturday the 5th.

There were clear time frames established herein. They have not been complied with, thus the awards are null and void unless you want The Committee to hold a special meeting this afternoon.
