Full of Win II: The Cuppies

It was in March of 2008 when Ivory Tower sent an email about to his fellow Ole Miss sports geeks and general comrades to gauge interest in starting up our own snarky, off-color Rebel blog. A few days later, Red [REDACTED] Cup was created. That would eventually grow to what you're looking at now which, quite frankly, is well beyond anything we expected.
So, how are we celebrating our second birthday? By giving out meaningless awards, that's how! In a way to re-visit the Best of the Cup series started during our first birthday celebration, we are going to let you nominate and vote on which posts, fanshots, comments, etc. will win Cuppies. Yeah, we're calling them "Cuppies" and there ain't shit you can do about that. Categories in which we are accepting nominations follow.
- Best Post
- Best Fanshot
- Best Fanpost
- Best Comment
- Best Comment Thread
- Best Rebel Commenter
- Best Rival Commenter
- Worst Commenter (also known as "The Gonzohog Prize")
- Best use of profanity and/or snark*
- Best use of images*
- Most grammatically horrible pile of turds post*
So there they are, have at it. When nominating, please put the category of whatever you're nominating in bold and provide a link where applicable. An asterisk (*) denominates a category which applies to all media on the site (posts, fanshots, fanposts, and comments). And, as always, our hats are tipped to Goose for his quick turnaround on bizarre photoshop requests.

So..
Nominations can be anything from March ’08 up to now, or do they need to be from the past year?

thanks......FYI anyone who will be in Jackson for St. Pat's this Saturday...
I’ll be in front of Haley B’s pad with cold beer and jello shots if any FotC find themselves in Jackson this weekend. If you haven’t been to the parade before it’s probably one of the only things Jackson does right so come party

shitnowiworkinjackson had been the frontrunner
… but in the true spirit of Bryce Drew and buzzer beaters, “Oh No Valpo!” snatched victory away in the waning seconds.
That time of year again BTW
which is why I don’t really like March Madness anymore. They keep replaying and replaying and replaying… [PUKE]
I actually like “the love IS gone…to omaha,” maybe because I like the song.
Yes, I live in Starkville...WHO did I piss off in a past life?

i grew up a Kentucky basketball fan and am now obviously an ardent ole miss fan
So I get to see that punk ass Laettner and Bryce fucking Drew every year.
But it pales to the experience. the most wonderful time of the year!
i think JTbowtie's # might give that one a run...

However, all these awards should be won by the Class of 1863.

While not as good as the "dundies"
I think “cuppies” has a ring to it…

And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam!
I think “Fraternity Row” has to win Worst Commenter. He’s an embarrassment to people in fraternities.
He’s an embarrassment to people in general.

Recrootin’ dale’s interview with brandtsy pants after signing day. AND the post about “did mullen win instate crootin’?” Were some of my favorites.
Best shot was powe holding the little girl after practice and all of the snark involved…

Best Comment Thread
the comments following the fan post “Where’s the Love Lindy”
For some reason, this fanpost brought gonzo out of his self-imposed exile and sparked a lively debate about Nutt. It was a good exchange and it got people talking during the summer time dulldrums.
I also nominate the Summertime Blues series of Posts/Fan Posts for something
