I think you spelled his name wrong. It's L-a-r-r-y B-l-a-i-r.

Who ever thought we'd see politicking for the Sparkys on here?

You think she's bad on here? You should see her going around the FOC.

Funny thing is Manny had no clue what was going on.

Guilty as charged but hey, Manny is true red white and blue all the way. He was never anything else, was a LU all his college life AND he's the reason why the team re-gained their team spirit. He stepped up to the plate when everyone seemed to be in the depths of despair. He rallied everyone together and gave us hope!!!! More of a reason to win the most prestigious award, the Sparky!!

Manny will get my vote...
...when he runs a 3:57 mile.

(although few things are funnier than "Manny Rojas, Dorm Linebacker.")

Manny could easily run the 40 yard dash in 3:57 what are you talking about! :P

Are you kidding? Josh is the best athlete to go to Liberty. Hands Down.

Could Rojas play for any University in America? Josh could run for any, and runs for us.

Wow, we have the return of Hburg & Proto in the same day. Are we due for a lunar eclipse or something?

yea but you know McDougal is going to win the coveted Sparky next year, why not give someone else a chance this year?

Gotta give it to the most deserving for this year, not the most deserving senior.

There can be more of a case made for Larry than Manny. Larry is the Big South all-time leading scorer. Liberty's all time D-1 leading scorer. Noone can argue against Josh though (other than it's track). :wink:

Then why are we voting? It's given to the one with the most votes!

OK, I've been holding this in all day until my bald head is about to explode. Now Manny is tied with Larry Blair for the lead. Manny was not even the best Linebacker on his team in my opinion. O now I've done it. I'm going to be banned now. I loved sharing my opinions on here, and been nice knowing you all.

Give it to Josh or the whole thing is a farce! I hate polls and popularity contests. It's supposed to be the BEST male athlethe, not the nicest or the most inspiring or whatever.

Don't get me wrong Manny was good at what he did, but he's not the best male athlete from last year.

Who would have thought that a volleyball player (Kallie Corbin) would pull more votes than a football player (Rashad Jennings) for a sparky (Best Newcomer).

Go Liberty volleyball!!!!!!!!

So, do winners get a plaque or a trophy?

i'm gnna have to concede to josh for my vote. Manny well i love the guy he decked me in dorm linebacker my freshman year. and he was and is great at what he does. but that 3:57 mile just amazes me. as for larry. well he was amazing as well but reggie williams(assuming he doesn't enter the draft or has already or gets injured) is on course to break larry's record. he was still amazing and i hope he makes it into the pros. i'm not really causght up on whats going on with him lately. so yea. josh= should be winner of sparky. but lets face it. is anyone really going to be proud of an award whos name is a spoof of ESPN's ESPY's? Knuckle said it best its just a popularity contest.

I had such hope when the Sparkys were announced. Oh Well.

We have some strong points (not many) but overall […]

Bowling Green

We need to play more physical. Lost that with JSU […]
