Game of the year-

Thread of the year- Whats Your Favorite Wolf Shirt- Electrus Unus
Hall of Fame- Ev- What I have done for 3adownlows fantasy football league is remarkable. My victory last year rose the league from something noone wanted to play in after that ass clown ruined it the year before to a league where so many people want to play just to try to knock off the defending champ. Not to mention the way I have picked up the tradition of the hot girl of the month and made it interactive to let the fans talk about which girls they think are the hottest. Also I have written many distict previews.

As for my serious hall of fame pick... have to go with RangerMom been too important as a mod and has such a lofty post count got to consider her.

New category:
Most Missed Poster- Bullfrog dad (RIP)

Here's the players (posters) that I know of, off the top of my head.

Wolf Playa

[Sweetwater Red]

I watched Wolfplaya in our playoff game against
Dalhart. He was a senior starting OT/ DT and also
a team captain. I don't know if you'll find any
stats on him. But he played his tail off for four
quarters and has my vote.

These guys play defense? Awfull anemic offensive stats for all-district honors. Especially MVP with 399 yards.
LOL! latticat is predominately a LB, and definitely a big part of he reason he was MVP - he was one of 11 with rushing yards last season.

Is latticat going to be 'strapping' it on for anyone this fall?

I believe he has a walk-on invite to Texas State.

[Trashman]

New category most likely to post Goodbye 3ADL or This is my last post".:D

[pirate4state]

I guess next year the Lowie's should be held in April or May when there are still plenty of posters participating.

Oh well...

[Emerson1]

They are just boring categories :D

Latticat DOES have a walk-on invite to Texas State but is also still working out for some college teams in baseball..No word yet on any final decisions yet..

Would it be OK to add a "Non-football game of the year"?

That would be interesting. Also have different catagories for high school, college and pro. We could also have epic race of the tour but the Tour de France would be a shoo in every year. Also we should have one called the most underappreciated great sport of the year of the downlow - soccer.

The Lowies have been limited to football in the past.

I've been doing well. My computer is broken so I haven't been able to grace the forum with my presence. How have you been?

Maybe someone else needs to head them up next month.

[Txbroadcaster]

I have a small suggestion on the Lowie

have them in December the last week of State play-offs..that is when the board is really jumping and it is more like a end of year thing.

putting them in july when the board has lowest traffic causes alot o people to miss em

You have to have something "smart" in a signature first before it can be nominated.:eek: :p
