A quick thank you to everyone that voted for the Blue-Gray Sky in the recent college football blogger awards. BGS was named best blog in the Big East/ND category (that's right Big East....first we steal your bowl bids, now we take your blog awards) and finished as the runner-up for the Post of the Year award to the very deserving Orson over at Every Day Should be Saturday.The entire list of winners can be found over at RockyTopTalk and I highly suggest you check them all out as the winners and runners-up are all high quality blogs. Of special note is the strong entry into the blogging community by a pair of blogs run by ND fans.
Fire Mark May, run by irishoutsider, won Best New Blog and should definitely be added to your bookmarks and/or RSS news reader. Fire Mark May also finished as the runner-up in the Best Gag category for the hilarious "I hate your favorite team" letter from Glenn Philips, professional referee.
Likewise, Mark May Be Wrong, a creation of Brian, Dan, and Tom, took home the Best Critic award for their on-going attempt to track the predictions of college football pundits and bring some level of accountability to the so-called "experts". Combing cold hard facts with exceptional layout and programming skillz, not to mention the always fun Suck-O-Meter, Mark May Be Wrong is a definite addition to any ND fan reading list. Mark May Be Wrong also took The Conversation concept Jay wrote about earlier in the year and turned it into a fully-fledged internets widget that makes sorting teams by different Conversation criteria a snap.
So again, many thanks to those who voted for us. And make sure to check out/keep checking out those blogs that were a part of the inaugural blogger awards. There are some exceptional writers out there covering college football and many of them aren't the ones getting press passes to the games.
