Hey, why don't we stop trying to overshadow the great season people had by bickering about which players broke out more than others?

<a href='index.php?showuser=2236' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-73'>Wally</a> <a href='index.php?showuser=2349' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-3'>bozzz</a> and I for a S31 sweep of the McBride nominations (it was only a matter of time there amirite?)

<a href='index.php?showuser=1765' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-4'>Eggy Nog</a> <a href='index.php?showuser=2378' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-13'>MWHazard</a> and <a href='index.php?showuser=2476' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-17'>ThePandava</a> had excellent seasons to earn Stevens nominations, congrats to you three on this achievement (less so eggy cause NEW sucks amirite??)

<a href='index.php?showuser=2338' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-3'>CBear</a> <a href='index.php?showuser=2327' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-69'>ztevans</a> and <a href='index.php?showuser=1855' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-3'>Rich</a> nominated for the Dar award, and personally I think this is the hardest trophy to choose a winner

<a href='index.php?showuser=2015' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-56'>Xmas</a> <a href='index.php?showuser=512' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-54'>Green</a> and <a href='index.php?showuser=2280' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-3'>daBenchwarmer</a> are the Richan award nominees, and while I'm certainly biased toward my baenches, these are all great users who had their first great season so congrats to them

<a href='index.php?showuser=177' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-13'>Ace</a> <a href='index.php?showuser=2699' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-69'>Evok</a> and <a href='index.php?showuser=1119' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-3'>artermis</a> up for the Jesster because they're all fantastic rookies. Let's not forget that S38 saw perhaps the best crop of rookies, and there are excellent arguments to be made for other rookies, but you can't deny these three were also amazing.

<a href='index.php?showuser=232' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-24'>JayWhy</a> <a href='index.php?showuser=1765' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-4'>Eggy Nog</a> and <a href='index.php?showuser=2327' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-69'>ztevans</a> for Littleton trophy makes too much sense! These are all great users who have incredible players, and they all put a LOT of time into this site. Would just like to give them a big thanks right here!

<a href='index.php?showuser=1722' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-13'>Nereus</a> <a href='index.php?showuser=2378' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-13'>MWHazard</a> <a href='index.php?showuser=2532' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-13'>TheRealBK</a> and <a href='index.php?showuser=1449' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-13'>NUCK</a> all great GMs who were nominated for the Uppercut award. I've worked closely on many deals with all of them, and I don't have a bad thing to say here. Also, HUGE congrats to <a href='index.php?showuser=2532' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-13'>TheRealBK</a> on this nomination, I know it was a long wait for you to get a GM spot recently, but here you are and you're making a splash already!

<a href='index.php?showuser=232' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-24'>JayWhy</a> <a href='index.php?showuser=1643' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-3'>Ballerstorm</a> and <a href='index.php?showuser=31' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-66'>grimreaper</a> nominated for the Razov, and hard to argue with these three at all. S38 was a WILD playoffs, and these three were a big part of the excitement.

finally you've got me <a href='index.php?showuser=2236' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-73'>Wally</a> and <a href='index.php?showuser=2327' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-69'>ztevans</a> nominated for the Mexico award, and if I'm correct this will be the first time someone from S31 wins that award, so congrats to my S31 brothers!


Congrats to all the nominees, you all deserve it!

Thank you so much, Grape Man. I really appreciate the good vibes here. <3
