The NUGies are coming: Submit categories and nominees for Boise State's end-of-year awards
Throw on a sportcoat and dry-clean your going out pants. The NUGies are coming!
The best Boise State award show of the year kicks off next week, and I need your help getting ready. What categories do you want to see? What players need lionizing? What moments need frozen? How can we get David Augusto's name in there without being too obvious?
All suggestions are welcome, so leave your thoughts in the comments or shoot me an email. After the jump, I'll list some of the categories that will be returning for this year plus some new ones I'm considering. Rock the NUGies, Bronco fans.
Annual NUGie faves that will likely be returning:
- Player of the Year NUGie
- Marty Tadman Honorary NUGie
- NUGie Offensive MVP
- NUGie Defensive MVP
- NUGie Game of the Year
- NUGie Play of the Year
In addition to these, I would like to feature the most anticipated future Bronco, the Boise State theme of the year, and something belittling about the University of Idaho - probably a Shiloh Keo joke. What else do you got? Share your categories and nominees in the comments.

Best 3 running back “Stable” formation we never saw.
~ :: ~
"Everyone counted us out. I don't know why they keep doing that." -- Kyle Wilson
"It takes no talent to give great effort."
"We’re not going to play to the outside noise." -- Chris Petersen
"[Kellen] Moore is a walking Staples® button." -- Ivan Maisel
"I’ve been around football a long time and I’ve never seen a better prepared team than the Boise State Broncos and it was a privilege to watch them play." -- Lou Holtz
Need criteria for "play of the year"
So I know whether to vote for the most awesomest, or the most impactful.
Impactful? Oh, lord, did I just write “impactful”? DAMN YOU FOOTBAW ANNOUNCERS THAT IS NOT A WORD.
We want to build a university our football team can be proud of. -- Dr. George Lynn Cross
How about
The Winston Venable almost borderline illegal hit of they ear?
It leaves the fool who got steemrolled laying on the ground senseless and the fans of that team blowing up message boards and blogs about dirty plays and cheap shots.
In other words, the hugest hit of the year.

Most notable opposing player
who got his ass kicked feelings hurt. C’mon, man, target rich environment.
“Lack of Arm Strength” Pass of the Year perhaps?
Good Night. Game Over. Drive Home Safely.

Some suggestions:
Gecko Hands Catch of the Year
Most insane sticky hands grab. This is hardly an automatic to Austin Pettis…lest we forget the one-handed grab of totally awesome in the Virginia Tech game. You know who.
Long Haul Trucker Award
Best running back collision. Some stiff competition here, I’d imagine. Doug Martin’s thorough trucking of Shiloh Keo is a fan favorite, but you can’t discredit Jarvis Hodge’s run of 4th quarter annihilation. The man killed a defender once.
The Great Clips/Head & Shoulders Haircut of the Year
If I have to explain this, you’re probably a U of I grad.
Best KM Touchdown Celebration
Fistpump? Double pistols? Jumping man-hug? OH THE CHOICES!
Don't forget Wyoming
Dougie steamrolled a safety in that game too. Keo saw it on film, and knew what to expect.

The hardest shoes to fill award.
Oh, so many candidates……..
"Boise State football is now a Fargo winter. You know what's coming, and that information does you no good whatsoever". Matt James / The Fresno Bee
Best TD celebration
is it double pistols by Kellen against Idaho
is it running opposite direction with TD signal by Kellen against VT
is it the endzone flip by Pettis against Wyoming
is it Titus Young lying on his back and flipping the ball in the air against Fresno
is it Daryl Acrey with the pick six on senior day doing a Ray Lewis impersonation
There are probably others I am not remembering
Mr. Fiskers Award
For sticking your foot in your mouth about non-AQ football.
And that's another Bronco... FIRST DOWN!!

Off topic
Did anyone else see the run by Lynch last night and think that looks like Doug Martin.?
"Every Damn Day."- Coach Pete
Great run...
But terrible tackling. However, I can see Doug Martin doing the same thing in the NFL.
