My Ballot:
Hottest WAG: To the poster who paid me the most. He knows who he is
#idhitit
Funniest Poster: IrishSteelhead - I chose to support a new winner over a back-to-back recipient. Both were deserving.
Member of the Year: IrishTP - His website was the deciding factor for me. Great contribution to the Irish football community.
Insider of the Year: IrishTP - The other nominees are deserving, but as long as TP is eligible, I'm not sure anyone else can win this award. #changetherules
All Poster Team: I voted for almost everyone. A testament to the number of quality posters on the site.
All Beer Team: I didn't vote for anyone. #butthurtovernotbeingnominated
Rookie of the Year: GATTACA! - Deserving. Is it too late to pull my name from consideration and give my voters their votes back? #rolltoilet
Most Overrated Poster of the Year: STLDomer - Honestly, I'm not a fan of this award and I'm baffled OMM is running away with the vote. I chose to vote for STL for four reasons: 1) He's in the running for Member of the Year, indicating a very high "ranking", 2) He didn't have any votes, 3) He's slacking on the 2015 Master List and 4) He asked me to be his friend, but never once repped me.
Politician of the Year: GoIrish41 - I don't frequent the political threads often, but I was impressed with GoIrish41 in the Zimmerman thread. One of the few posters that argued his points without ever making / taking things personal or stooping to the levels that thread made it too.
Off Topic Thread of the Year: Please God, no BCS Bowl - I enjoyed how this thread was immediately high-jacked by gifs.
IE Meme/Catch Phrase of the Year: I knew a month ago - Born right around the time I started posting and was used on-point by posters 95% of the time. I chuckled almost every time I saw it.
Romance of the Year: Wooly and the naked lap - Tough choice here, but I don't know. Wooly just seems really excited for the naked lap. #creepyobsession
Trinity Spirit Award: OMM - It was a tie for me between OMM and LuckyLucci. OMM received my vote because it put him in a 4-way tie for 1st place. Lucky should have received at least a vote from his nominator. Shame on you. #someonevoteforlucky!
Rivalry of the Year: NDinLA vs. Bogtrotter07 - Clear choice. This was a good one and I think both guys came back from their timeout as stronger posters.
Avatar of the Year: Irish#1 - He nominated himself, and I think it is deserving. I, however, have no idea why I was nominated and I'm happy I received 0 votes. ACamp - are you ever going to send me a new avatar for losing the Clowney winning Heisman bet? I'm looking to change it up but would like to get that bet over with first.
MOD of the Year: IrishLax - All very deserving and a difficult decision. I chose Lax because I felt he was the most consistent poster since I joined the site.
Most Improved Poster: kuehnja - Showed the most improvement throughout 2013. #stillcantevaluatetalent
Most Interesting Poster: NDWorld247 - I couldn't decide, so I voted for myself because a) two votes looks better than one (everyone thinks you're the single vote for yourself) and b.) I'm interesting
Reporter of the Year: PANDFAN - All about the 4g. I enjoyed following press conferences via the site and PANDFAN brought the goods in 2013.
Football Thread of the Year: Matt Elam - I didn't feel strongly about any of the nominees to be honest. I voted for Elam because I brought up serious academic concerns from the get-go and they largely went ignored. I never thought for a second he was coming to ND and as we got later in the process, those feelings were validated. #donepattingmyselfontheback
Goshen Gipper Award: ACamp - You deserve a strong 2nd place finish. #maybenextyear
Poster who needs to post MOAR: Jason Pham - This guy is an enigma to me. I hear so much about him, but he never posts. He's tied for 1st place. Go vote for him!
Troll of the Year: Bruin Steve - I enjoyed Bruin Steve's short life here on IE. #hehadspunk
GOAT Irish Envy Recruiting Class: 2010 - I posted this a few weeks ago, but OMM was my tiebreaker with the class of 2011. #overratedmyass
Internet Tough Guy of the Year: NDinLA - My nominee. I campaigned for him and somehow got added to the ballot after he proved worthy of my nomination. Come on people! He needs your votes NOW! #pleasedonttakethispersonal
Ben Koyack Award: NDWorld247 - GATTACA! is going to deservingly win. I wanted to secure a 2nd place finish. Unfortunately, I don't believe I'll ever reach my potential. #reallifebeckons
gif of the Year: LSU TRex - This one cracks me up and it had no votes.
Poster Most Likely to Get Banned: T Town Tommy - It's a runaway, so I voted for my nominee. I hope TTown is still around when we beat BAMA in the playoffs or NCG, even though it won't be much fun talking shit to such a nice guy. #illdoitanyway
