that is awesome. If nothing else, it shows somebody is coming up with new ideas.

I wish it could have been called The Flame Awards or something. Sparky makes me think Dundy which makes me think of the Office which makes me giggle.

I like Sparky (since I happened to come up with the name despite getting torched on the old board for it). I am glad they are doing this. It is a great idea. Can't wait to vote. It will also drive traffic to the site which eventually will get some ad revenue perhaps.

"And the dundee for the longest engagement is...... PAM BEASLEY!!! Pam come on up... oh Roy will be accepting the award.... any words youd like to say Roy?"
"Yeah, well see you next year."

[SuperJon]

I love the idea and don't take this as criticizing the awards at all, but who does our graphic work for the site?

[Sly Fox]

I get the feeling the SIDs have seen how bored we are this summer and they are shrewdly giving us something to talk about. Kudos for stepping out of the box.

Doesn't that guy who posts here do it? blwal or whatever his poster name is.

[SuperJon]

I thought he did graphics for Student Life and all of that.

You just double posted 30 minutes apart.

I do graphics for Resident Recruitment. The only graphic I have done for the LibertyFlames website is the "Ask the Ad" art.

[SuperJon]

Man, his sensor is even better than WEF's.

Jim: Gaydar? What's Gaydar?.........oh, Gaydar, right. I think I saw it at the Sharper Image.

[Sly Fox]

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

but who does our graphic work for the site?

Can I PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take a guess on this one



I do like the Idea of the awards, but I dont like the name either, I love Sparky, but i just think naming awards something like that sounds dumb, and I bet the same guy I think made that terrible picture came up with that stupid name.


Last but not least, are anyone elses "View More Emoticons" not showing up when you open the link?

[The Rock]

Although maybe they intended for it to be similar to a Dundy where it's got comedic value. I'm not sure, b/c if they wanted it to be taken seriously wouldnt they just have called it Liberty University's Men's Player of the Year?


I'm being serious and not using LUconn's constant satire value


EDIT: I wanted to explain what I mean. Another words 20 years from now will they be holding a banquet for these or is it just something to pass the summer along.

[PAmedic]

You just double posted 30 minutes apart.

hey, they got a new mascot. That's a lot less retarded looking than their old one.

[jcmanson]

Good idea, I'm excited to see who is going to be nominated. Why don't we start our own list on here. Starting with:

Biggest win.

What were the 5 biggest wins we had this year?
