Supes™ Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Firstly, for those that may have missed my recent thread about the Hick'ry Stick Award and the changes coming this season, click here.Now, many folks have asked in the past if the winning players actually receive our little award and the answer was "no, they don't." So I got to thinking,...why shouldn't they? Granted, it's a tiny little thing in the grand scheme, but it's OUR tiny little thing, done in here only, has become somewhat of a tradition and besides that, everyone appreciates a little recognition, right? I think the winning player(s) will get a kick out of it and besides, what's the point of an award if the winner never sees it?:unsure:So,...I found out that every player has a personal mail box @ Flowery Branch. After the votes are cast for each quarterly award this season, I will personally crank out a hi-res 13" x 19" print on my mac daddy printer using high quality semi-gloss photo paper and mail it to the winner(s) in care of the facility @ Flowery Branch. TAH-DAH!What the players do with them once received is anybody's guess. Could end up in the trash or matted and framed and hanging over the couch, who knows? But the main thing is,... they will get them, I promise!I've already dusted off the award and reworked it to fit a 13" x 19" format, and it's gonna look like this:Hope y'all like it and when the time comes, don't forget to VOTE!

kibitzer Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Is there such thing as a true DOUBLE G? You may not feel like it some days, you may not want to be it sometimes, as much as you may resist the notion, you may as well give it up Supes, for there is just no arguing it any longer.....You da man!

paulitik Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 That's sweet. It's a great idea, and has to mean a lot for a player to get an award like this directly from their fans. I can't wait to vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossFALCON™ Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 maybe you should send a letter along with it when you send it supes. not a personal letter or anything, but something that lets them know what HSA is and that the fans vote on it, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that they "need" to get it, but would be kind of cool to explain a little about it's origin and rich tradition for some of us hardcore fans.

If the award continues to grow in popularity, we'll take a look at that.In the meanwhile, it wouldn't be something that could easily be mailed.....

kibitzer Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) What do you think about an actual hickory stick? I could make that happen. :unsure: Could be dangerous having those laying around if we lose any games? Remember, there's still the possibly of a goat/woodshed award... (not Greatest Of All Time either if y'know what I mean....) Edited August 19, 2010 by kibitzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I catch the drift of your sarcasm, but have you ever though we may be capable of more than just arguing amongst ourselves? Seems I remember the FNCO got its' start right here!
