As a blogger and fan of cat pictures, I tend to spend a lot of time on Al Gore's greatest invention...after Bronco wins—especially big ones—even more so. Monday night, I took the liberty of screen-capturing some of my faves from around the web after I returned home and downed a dozen TUMS™. The ballots have been counted, and here are the top ten from the evening—each with their own award of distinction. After the jump, enjoy the fruits of my surfing labors (click each screencap for the full-sized version)
Category: In the news
10. The award for freshest headline pun—ESPN.com
Subtle, understated, smooth. You'll never work for the Idaho Statesman.
9. The award for bumping Barack Obama's transit plan—USA TODAY
Maybe more importantly, Boise State bumped a story about the WWE.
8. The award for least subtle headline pun—FOX Sports
That's one buckin' awful headline pun.
7. The award for stumbling on to the pun that everyone else did 2 years ago—CBS Sports
Please send Gregg Doyel to pick up your award. It will be waiting for him at the end of this short pier.
6. The award for most straightforward headline—Sporting News
What a bunch of buzzkills. Bonus points for featuring übermensch Dan Paul on the teaser though.
5. The award for sadly inevitable snub—CFN.com
On the bright side, the win might have vaulted Boise State into CFN's top-25.
Category: Twitter
4. The award for "if you like us so much, how about donating to the stadium expansion?"—LeBron James
I'll still never forgive you for leaving Cleveland.
3. The Doubting Thomas award—Stewart Mandel
You'll do it again, don't worry.
2. The award for faint praise—Kirk Herbstreit
The Broncos care not for "discussions." They are men of action.
1. The "proving Bob Kustra right" award—Mark Schlereth
From left to right, I've circled something fitting, something pathetic, and something astonishing. Oops, looks like I forgot to clear my search bar on this one, too.

Yahoosports.com Had Another Good One
It said: “O’ Boise!”

Of course
Leave it to uber-vandal b/w schlereth—mr. soap opera—to take a b/w and then put it on the net.
You'd think at a certain point in one's career, you'd stop being such a partisan hack.
The dude is an ESPN analyst for Pete’s sake! Have a modicum of professionalism. Be a huge Vandal homer…fine. The childish hatred from someone in his position is ridiculous. Leave that to the fans, Marky.

This is all they know:
The childish hatred
It’s all they’ve got. If they weren’t such B/Ws, I’d feel sorry for them. No…check that. I’ll never, ever feel any sympathy for them. Never.
Congratulations Boise....

Greasy porn star
“No Boise State player is smart enough to be on tv”….
Why hasn’t this famous Marky Greasball quote made its way back to Colledge, Clady, Schouman, von Oelhoffen, or, or Hall yet? I’m sure that multiple degreed idiot Richie Brockel would having something to say about it…Seriously though Mark use more soul glow on your nasty hair and face pubes..
"No Boise State player is smart enough to be on tv"
Says the guy that misspelled the word “they’re”.

I noticed this too....
how unbelievably bad of an BW-hole do you need to be to bag on a team’s “smarts” and then not be able to use the proper form of the word?

Master Thespian!
I think he plays a doctor on As The Children Turn All Days Of General Hospital Lives.
Good point.
UI is the school that routinely gets failing APR grades leading to diminished schollies. I can think of at least two players for Boise State in the last few years that graduated Cum Laude. (Schlekeway and Brockel)

To CFN's credit (of which, they deserve very little)
they now have us in the BCS NCG
Obviously you're not a golfer...
They do?
Last I checked they had us ranked two spots below Georgia and one spot above Wisconsin.

It's Firefox on a Mac.
Trying to use Internet Explorer on a Mac may be one of the more painful experiences of your life. Safari and Firefox both work great.

what the......???????!!!!!!!
Damn, Drew; the Tech game really took it out of you, looking at that picture you posted of yourself!! You look like hell!! Please take a week off from OBNUG, and lose the smokes; if our President can do it, so can you!
It was the countdown I tells ya...
I took up smoking, lost my gym membership, and stepped back in time.
Still having dial-up can't help much either

LOL
Someone just sent a nice reply to Mr. Schlereth.
"I think I know what you guys are trying to say.....We need to build a space helicopter." Nathan Explosion
I feel your pain!
I definitely should have thought of the countdown! If I had attempted this gargantuan task, I’d have lost my sanity, family, job, and dog (in reverse order of importance). For the sake of all OBNUG’ers and Kevan, please try to return from your parallel universe as soon as possible!!
