Bobbie Curd knows the "whey" to a championship.

 

HGH user though. BOO!!!!

 

All of the four people from KY who post on here will be interested in this.

 

Musings & Notes:

1) For those of you who don't know, the Louisville Courier-Journal does not participate.
2) The Kentucky Kernel whooped up on WKU - god's gift to journalism schools - and its College Heights Herald.
3) Ryan Craig of the Todd County Standard had his name called for 18 separate top-three awards (design, writing and photography). That might be a record.
4) I ended a six-year non-awards streak. Of course, for the second time now, what I won with and what I expected to win were two different things.

 

EXACTLY the post I was going to make. Suck on that, you fucking high-horsed Western douches.

That being said, many kudos to those that I know on that list, including (but not limited to) Mark Story, Jeff Bastin and Bobbie Curd.

 

Good to see Rob Herbst get first place on there. Congrats.

And a hearty echo to IJAG's comment about WKU.

 

So does his award come with an asterisk?

 

So if I go to Western you won't like me anymore?

 

No, you misunderstand me.

If you go to Western, I will wish a painful viral death upon you.

 

I guess I'll stay away then....

 

He must of had a placebo batch.
Never popped more than 16 out in a season.
