at Bruno. Great stuff.
Special thanks to Blackjack, who spent a lot of time organizing the awards, a job that I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.
Thanks to everyone who voted; I'm humbled. I'll do my best to raise the bar even more in the future.
All good, man. We'll get this thing more coordinated next year and hopefully get more participation from the basement. I'll even see if I can keep the mouth-breathing to a minimum.

I was expecting like four, tbh.
You live and you learn . . .
I still got no Spur, no awards, nothing at all....
At long last something to fill the void left from losing my #1 spot on Asteroids.
Thanks, I was actually happy to get 2.You like me, you really like me.
It's all in good fun.
Now myself and all the other 2s are going to try to forget that we were shown up by mono and Findog.
The fact that you only got 2 votes is a minor travesty.
don't worry our time will come. On top of that with all the $ you have you can buy a lot of hand jobs, Ghazi style.
Classic execution of the sfie pick and roll . . .
Good job raising the bar Blackjack!
And congrats to all the winners!
Agreed. Nice job BlackjackGood job raising the bar Blackjack!and IMO you should be on the list also ElNono. Always enjoy reading your posts in all the forums
Blackjack good job
congrats to all ...
All of sudden rising a bar has a new meaning to me because of Bruno
I voted for you Nono..
As one of the voters for the initial nominations, I'll say this was extremely difficult to narrow down to 15..I had at least 40 posters in mind TBH, there are A LOT of good posters here(not just Spurs fans), other than Laker fans, since they generally lack quality TBH..
From my initial 15 picks, EIGHT of them didn't make any of the "teams", which seemed unlikely going into this IMO..
UR overrated then
good stuff bro. glad that your undertaking has had these results

Thanks for all the time you put into this Blackjack and thanks to everyone for the recognition. I'm just a regular guy who loves his team...and it great to be a part of a place where so many share the same passion.
I was kidding... hopefully you knew
peace
I notice that SFIE has a big pic of his medal in his sig area. Is this going to his head? Have we created a monster?
, I put that up before I realized we were getting badges. Although now I feel the need to turn it into the biggest signature on this board.

I dig it SFIE; it won't make me look quite as bad when I name myself MVP and devote a thread to the greatness that is Blackjack.
Edit: ElNono definitely deserved more love. He's one of the best and most intelligent posters here.
Congratulations to the inaugural All-SpursTalk class! A special thanks to Pistons < Spurs for the graphics, to the 21 posters that returned a nomination ballot, and a special thanks to all those that participated in the vote and allowed this to occur in a good-natured fashion (which left me with an inordinate amount of Preparation H left over that I'm not sure what to do with -- it's better to be safe than sorry when planning for butthurt, it's just not something you want left on your hands. I do, however, hear it works wonders for those who complain of bags under their eyes. ... Y'all know where to find me).
Which leads me to the final results. Ah, yes. ... The final results (maybe I'll be able to get some of this Prep H off my hands after all).
It was quite the chore for all involved when it came to nominations, and had their been a differential of 10 -- plus or minus -- in ballots received, we could've very well seen some different results. Maybe a few more posters find themselves in the running; maybe they simply find themselves mentioned in the final results? This endeavor was rather experimental and not without its flaws but, as the names prove to show, there seemed to definitely be more hits than misses -- on a board that boasts roughly 18,800 members (alright, usernames), 145,000 threads and 4.3 million posts, more hits than misses ain't no small feat.
I promised transparency, so transparency is what you'll get. If you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer any of them that don't put me in the position of breaking my word. And if a couple of you sick puppies find yourselves counting the votes and thinking there's some funny business or ...
... keep in mind that I removed myself after 9 ballots.
So without further adieu:

Congratulations to all that received votes -- to receive even one is saying something, given the sheer number of candidates -- and I look forward to the next phase; there remains a couple of more awards to give out of the "serious" variety but the fun should really ensue with the start of the first ever Double Down: SpurTalk Awards, 2010 ceremony.
Coming soon . . .
Congrats to everyone
And Great job Blackjack
Man, those badges look nice, I'm a bit jealous
Well, The Double Down is coming up and I still need a few more ideas for categories. It's the entertainment portion, so I'm looking for creativity and some funny; one more chance to win an unclaimed award.Man, those badges look nice, I'm a bit jealous
How's this for a tease?
The next trophy up for grabs:

Nice!
What about a "best one-liners" category?
