Better Know a Nickname: Joey Votto

by Cy Schourek on Jan 8, 2009 7:11 PM EST Comment 63 comments

So Hova closely (1 vote) won our first nickname elections. So everybody better be puttin' up their dynasty signs in 2009.

via cusecountry.com

ok, so the poll is up, so vote however you like. I figure that if the "quit it Cy" option gets a respectable number of votes, we can end this right here, and my love-child here can end in a messy abortion

Oh, and that link is safe, so don't freak out and yell at me, even if abortion humor is "insensitive" and "politically dangerous" and what-have-you

I like Votteaux and Vottomatic For The People

Instead of the Governor, maybe the Prime Minister? More power and more Canadian.

i think these posts should end

when a truly great nickname is coined, people will pick up on it and it will become the nickname…

Enough of these nicknames. If “Hova” is the best we can do for Jay Bruce, then we need to be talking about something else.

You’re telling me Utah can’t give them a game after the showing vs. Alabama?

This is where the BCS sucks. Utah got screwed.

Utah?

I think the best team in the country is USC.

usc got beat by a bad team

Utah went unbeaten, stomped Alabama, and beat a fair number of top 25 teams.

I dont care

I dont want a playoff system, and I might be in the minority…no problem. i like the endless debating and bitching and moaning.

And I hope an underdog wins March Madness in the next couple years, its been many years since anyone but an established program won it all.

by obc2 on Jan 10, 2009 9:34 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

florida has been good enough to win their games

Because of being the only good team in the Big 10, OSU keeps getting gifted BCS games that they have no business being in. That’s why they get embarrassed in a lot of those games. The only team thats fans should like the BCS as much as OSU’s is Notre Dame
