The final week of 2017 is just around the corner, so it must be time for what some consider to be the highlight of their year, naming of The Gopher Report 2017 Poster of the Year (POY)!
2017 has been an extraordinary year for Gopher Sports, starting with a new football head coach being hired, and including the signing of 2 football recruiting classes. Our basketball team completed a remarkable turn-around season, and The Athletes Village moved from structural framework to near completion. @Matt Jessen-Howard and his team did a wonderful job of covering it all, offering ELITE analysis, and every bit of inside information and insight that they could.
Throughout this eventful year, a wide-range of posters have diligently posted their own analysis, insights, opinions, and humor, dreaming of the possibility that they might one day be recognized with the ultimate TGR posting honor, Post of the Year.
Past winners will surely attest that while the to road to Poster of the Year is long and arduous, winning the acclaim and admiration of their peers, along with all the honors, rights, and privileges conferred upon the POY (no cash value,) during the year of their reign, made it all worthwhile!
The 2016 POY winner was @kcgorilla . He navigated a challenging 2016, including a turbulent conclusion, with thoughtfully balanced posts, and welcome dashes of humor. Can he pull off the incredibly difficult repeat win of this prestigious honor, as @foggieguy did in 2015? You will decide, through your nominations and voting.
To nominate a poster, post their alias (e.g., @Matt Jessen-Howard, @E.J. Stevens, etc.) in this thread by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 26th. You may nominate as many posters as you like in your post, just not any posters who has been TGR staff members during 2017. I'll compile a list of the 9 posters with the most nominations (the poll thread max,) and put them into a polling thread for final voting (yes, once again you will be able to see who votes for who, and change your vote in exchange for whatever seems fair,) with the winner to be announced within 24 hours (to allow for recounts and any other messy disputes) of the poll closing at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 31st.
Who is worthy of nomination? That's completely up to you! Here's a list of some frequent posters, to get your thoughts started:
