I thought those awards at ESPN when many of us were there were very nice. I don't recall anyone having their feelings hurt at all. It was a nice tradition, and this board is one million times better but owes much of its success to the mass exodus of ESPN posters who got this place up and flying immediately, which I 'm sure helped make it all the more appealing to folks who stopped by and came onboard.
It Steve's place and his decision Scav, but Somer started those a long time ago.

Actually, while I helped a bit, I didn't actually start them...I thought Chris did but it could have been Coach. I thought Chris because of Kincsem...his favorite as well as mine! I don't care how it's done, if it's done but I agree that the poster awards were nice! We didn't use all the cats, just horses, trainers, jocks and owners as I recall (probably breeders too)....but i think if the goal is to have everyone participate, one person shouldn't dictate! Other than stating that opinion, I have no intention of getting involved in pettiness!

i think we should leave this whole idea alone. other than having some good posters here that used to be at espn, i'd just as soon leave espn-ness over there.
no doubt when eclipse award finalists are announced, a thread will be started and everyone will give their opinion on how it should go, or how they would vote. that's good enough for me.

I don't get why people are anti-ESPN
not like the place was a torture chamber
John, I think Chris came up with the name
I came up with the categories
hard to remember, but it was a group effort
where is Chris btw?
well, whatever, I thought it was a nice tradition
Oracle did a great job of running it last year
actually this may be the 5th annual Kincsems

Coach,
Yeah that sounds right! Chris works long hours and he's got someone very very special in his life right now...!

I for one am not going through 17 awards to vote for it.

I worded it wrong, my bad
What I am saying is Somer did a real good job coming up with those awards and the categories.Its very disprespectful to him.
