The blogging community likes to take some time during the dull offseason to pat each other on the backs, and those that receive more props than others wind up with a prestigious 10 kilobyte College Football Blog Award. So if the Australian Open or the Winter X-Games aren't doing it for you, check out Every Day Should Be Saturday and read up on the history of CFB. In an effort to issue some props to the blogs I enjoy reading, here's a quick rundown of the Nasties ballot for this year.
Best MSM Blog: Michael Rothstein of Irish Insights gets my vote for the best "official journalist" writing for his timely and accurate reporting.
Funniest Blog: The House Rock Built, puts up quality posts from the most recent All-Hairmerican team to quality excuses for infrequent posting, this site usually gives me a good chuckle.
Keith Jackson Award: Subway Domer scores some points here for the blog that can turn out a few devastatingly funny phrases while simultaneously writing compelling posts. This award isn't for copy editing; "it's an award for kickin' prose."
Brady Quinn Award: Rakes of Mallow earns this award for best looking site just because it breaks up the repetitive format of all the blogspot sites I visit, although after Laws gets his site running, I could see it performing well in this category.
Best New Blog: Wake Up The Echoes provides great recruiting coverage and campus insight - a fitting choice for the blog created since the end of last year's national championship.
The Old Faithful Award: Irish Roundup gets my vote for this one. It's supposed to be for the best recurring feature of the year; I initially thought it read recruiting (which IR would most def win for its Friday Night Lights posts), but hell, they write so well I had to nominate them for something.
There was also this other Notre Dame blog called The Blue Gray Sky, which earned multiple awards to the point that I should list them off all at once:
The Dr. Z Award for best statistical manipulation and analysis.

The Job Award for documenting the most disappointing season in the most professional manner.
Best Community for the blog with the best community interaction.
Mythical National Champion for the best blog. period.
