Time to revisit this one more time before we vote next week. I tell you my first new nomination...THE DUNK.
I'll admit that I've been neglecting the RCT Hall of Fame and a few other sidebar areas of the site of late. But alas we are back on the train of blog interaction success!. Recruit trackers is updated, twitter pic feed is live (email me your favorite KU sports pic and I'll tweet it out). Fetch is helping me rock twitter as an overall tool for RCT (up to nearly 900 followers), facebook likes are approaching 600, and of course we've got a new logo to boot....we're on a ROLL!
So with that let's give some much needed attention to our RCT Hall of Fame and kick off Nominations for the 2011 class. Yes it's the 2011 class because we are inducting those that show exemplary service and or a Jayhawk Sports/RCT passion that is second to none. Or they could just be some off the wall random like SherronCollinsisthebestandIlovehim.
During the last go around we had the intention of inducting Members, Posts, Pics and Threads. We only got around to Members so if you have any past nominations that date back further for the other three categories, please nominate them below in the comment section. But for Members let's think about the last year, 2011 and who deserves to join RockChalk, KennyGregoryRocktheCradle, Denverjhawk, Warden, Bensa and KUGrad08...are ANY of these guys still around by the way?
Put all your nominations in the comment section, we'll sort through the weeds and vote/select our inductee class of 2011 in the near future. Have at it!

i'll start
Fetch- i think he has put the most content on the site in recent months. I was actually suprised he isnt already a HOF member
I have to nominate the “Hows it taste motherfucker?” marcus morris picture to the HOF. Funniest sketch from argueably the funniest show of the 00’s added with one of the best jayhawks in recent memory. Might be offensive so i will also nominate the middle finger atomic bomb dunk pics.
Both of those are in this post
http://www.rockchalktalk.com/2010/11/2/1790477/and-here-we-go
I think the Cole middle finger dunk one was best, not sure where that is. There were game threads where I wouldn’t type a comment, just post that picture every time Cole did something awesome.

Remember this one? You inducted it into the HOF way back when:
Whoever made that must be really smart and cool

And a sex symbol as well
though unfortunately that would just put them in a category with Dickie V.

I like the one KGRtC has better
The name of that song played at KC Comets games in the '80's was Giorgio Moroder's "The Chase." Now you know.
It looks more betterer.

Psh, KUGrad08
Can I get in with a new name? If not, please change! This is the only thing I got going in my life man!
Shit happens when you win championships
Actually, I don't write for SB Kansas City anymore
Maybe I should go back to KUGrad08… throwback. If someone could do this for me that’d rock. I don’t know how to use the world wide web.
Shit happens when you win championships
I think Fetch deserves to be in
But I have a feeling the board won’t let him, on account of his North Dakotan heritage. You’d think in 2012 this wouldn’t be an issue anymore, but thats America for you.
Shit happens when you win championships
Well, while North Dakota sucks...
…it’s not as if he went to UND (afaik), so we could probably let him squeak through…
creators
By gosh, I think it was the two of us KUGrad08…hmmm:
“Because finding a historical Kansas football photograph is more difficult than finding a frozen caveman for the Smithsonian, the “Haters gonna Hate!” Jayhawk leads the charge for the countdown(H/T to escaped labrat and KUGrad for this creation). 16 DAYS UNTIL GAMEDAY, and while we’re at it…favorite #16’s for the Jayhawks anyone? Chris Harris doesn’t count, yet."
Ok ok ok
Actually you are right, all I did was put the Jayhawk head on it. I went back in time and checked.
My apologies, but you see, taking full credit for work that was a collaborative effort is how I got my raise work…
Shit happens when you win championships
I nominate
whoever created the new logo.
"No time for questions. No time for games. Start kickin' ass and takin' down the names." - Dave Mustaine.
The new logo is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick
I keep staring at it due to its epicness
Shit happens when you win championships
my nom is rivet
he’s probably the biggest (or at least most passionate) KU football fan on here plus as he says he has the sense to like hockey. And plus one for him being 20ish (I think) years older than me and still knowing how to turn on the computer and navigate the internet
I write everywhere. You're probably better off following me on twitter
Plus, by his signature, he is a megadeth fan
Old guy who knows how to use computer AND likes metal
Shit happens when you win championships
I do
like me some metal….but you’ll be happy to know it’s not just the classics like Maiden, Preist, Metallica, and Megadeth. I like me some of the new stuff too, particularly Bullet For My Valentine.
"No time for questions. No time for games. Start kickin' ass and takin' down the names." - Dave Mustaine.
Why thanks
Would you believe that not only can I turn on a computer, but I can assemble them too?
Parts for my 13 year olds system arrive today. It’ll be my fourth system build, lol. I even know how to overclock the CPUs and GPUs. And if you don’t know what that is and are still impressed……well I succeeded!
In all seriousness, I think others are far more deserving than I. I like KU football. I try to contribute in that area. And often I try to balance out the excessive optimism displayed by others, which often just makes people pissed off and think I’m cranky (or crazy).
But I don’t contribute much in the KU bball area and that is a subject matter with much greater relevence to expanding the following of this site.
"No time for questions. No time for games. Start kickin' ass and takin' down the names." - Dave Mustaine.
I understood roughly 3 words in that post
I write everywhere. You're probably better off following me on twitter
I'll second that
Rivet probably sparks more lively debate around here than anyone. And he’s been a diehard KU football fan for, by my estimation, about 70 years, so that’s pretty impressive on its own.
I discovered at a very early age that if I talked long enough, I could make people believe whatever I wanted them to. So, either I'm God, or truth is relative. Either way, booyah.
Rivet knows his KU football
And also is able to spark a lively discussion without getting too flamey. Well, except maybe in the hours after the Weis story broke…
Truth
I got too passionate about that hire. I still don’t like it on the surface. More red flags on this hire than there are in the entire country of China……

fetch | no question
as for threads/posts/etc… i think it was within the past year, but there was that insane thread where kscottbailey (or whatever his handle is from BotC) tried to convince us that kstate had as much hoops tradition and talent as we do. it got a little out of hand, but there are some gems in that thing
"C.J.: They sent me two turkeys. The most photo-friendly of the two gets a Presidential pardon and a full life at a children's zoo. The runner-up gets eaten.
Bartlet: If the Oscars were like that, I'd watch." - The West Wing, 'Shibboleth'
was it the "Jacob Pullen should be Big 12 POY over Marcus Morris" one?
that was one of my favorites
I write everywhere. You're probably better off following me on twitter
This one possibly? From October 2010 so a little over a year old.

yep. that's the one. that's a diamond in a lot of rough that is our RCT. glad to have been a part of it

Oh my god this one is ace
Where he tried to tell me their NCAA sweet 16 game against Xavier was one of the most memorable games in basketball history.
lol. Reading my comments… man I was dick. But I’m proud of my stance. Gotta roll up the sleeves sometimes.
Shit happens when you win championships
Rivet has by far the best comment:
That "KU friend" that told you that? He did so because he knew that that was the easiest way to get you to shut the f*ck up.
I nominate Rivet for the hall of fame based on this comment alone.
Shit happens when you win championships
It was kinda mean
but I just felt that KScottBailey wasn’t being reasonable. It’s ok to be passionate about something, but saying that Xavier game was “one of the best of all time” is just…..beyond unreasonable.

Isn't that the thread where i disagreed and how told me there was NO way I really believed it.
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
Rock Chalk Talk
K.Scott actually isn't too bad in this one
Must be before he went nuts and just started screaming that everyone (who didn’t agree with him) was a stupid douchebag.
Shit happens when you win championships
This was my first exposure to K Scott
and it didn’t go particularly well. I called him a douche and he acted like I insulted his dead relative.
There was a fanpost around that time where I spent the better part of an afternoon arguing with him with regard to whether KSU had an equal program to us. That was fun
I discovered at a very early age that if I talked long enough, I could make people believe whatever I wanted them to. So, either I'm God, or truth is relative. Either way, booyah.
I love that thread.
I especially like the fact that I predicted in the very first comment EXACTLY what would end up happening last year.
Criticize FHOFNCHCBS at your own risk...
as opposed to your 40-0, right?
The name of that song played at KC Comets games in the '80's was Giorgio Moroder's "The Chase." Now you know.
Looks like someone ran that guy off
He hasn’t made any comments in awhile.
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
He got into a big argument with guys at BOTC about Sandusky
They disagreed with him, so he quit.

Yeah
Remember, anyone that didn’t agree with him was a douche bag. Literally, I think that guy dropped that phrase every fourth comment.

I went back and it looks like at the beginning of the fallout
people were defending Paterno and Sandusky. He completely disagreed, verbal barbs were tossed, and he got pretty upset. Almost seemed like the situation hit pretty close to home.
Hate to see that type of thing happen.
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
Yeah, no use discussing stuff like that on the world wide web
People are going to get heated. That, abortion, religious issues, etc just asking for trouble.
I stick to sports and general nonsense.

I suppose it's fitting that he'd get run out of BotC
for being on the right side of an argument for once.

I'm partial to DC
and not just because he proves me wrong every few days.
i too nominate the anti fetch crew
I write everywhere. You're probably better off following me on twitter
I'll nominate KCsince88
he was a big part of getting RCT really hopping back when this place was pretty sleepy, being an old-timer here, I won’t forget those who have moved on…
The name of that song played at KC Comets games in the '80's was Giorgio Moroder's "The Chase." Now you know.
He runs the Sporting KC sb site now
I’ve met him a couple times, he is a huge soccer fan. Happy for him that he is writing about his passion, but I also miss him. No one went Tony Montana on trolls like he did.
Shit happens when you win championships
He did indeed
The name of that song played at KC Comets games in the '80's was Giorgio Moroder's "The Chase." Now you know.
yea he was doing that
and then all the sudden stopped and a new guy has taken it over
by I need more Esteban on Jan 5, 2012 8:23 PM CST up reply actions
We had a brief FB exchange on his birthday
but he’s been quiet all over. Not sure, maybe he’s got a really awesome girlfriend… Bros before Hos KC….
The name of that song played at KC Comets games in the '80's was Giorgio Moroder's "The Chase." Now you know.
He runs a Sporting KC podcast when he's not slaving away at NFM, I believe.
I run into him at the SKC games frequently (though not lately, obviously) and we hit it around Twitter a lot. He’s doing well, I think (for anybody who cares).

Why would anyone care about him?
(that’s an old joke for anyone that wasn’t around when he was here frequently)

Tell him to get is arse back here
Grad can’t keep the trolls out all by himself…

Threads:
The Door
Mid-Day OGT
Miami – FSU OGT

The Door. Yes.
Vaguely remember the mid day ogt. What was the miami-fsu ogt? Is that the one where KC kept talking about how much he loves Jacory Harris?
Shit happens when you win championships
Yes
Rockchalk and Warden also had starring roles

while we're at it
you all should pick my new RCT picture
I write everywhere. You're probably better off following me on twitter
Mind if I ask what type of camera and settings you used to take that
It is a fantastic picture!
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
I know next to nothing about photography, but I know a good google search when I see one. I googled “Beware of the Phog” trying to find a solid pic, and found this link

I missed it on my original read of this post,
But I noticed the recruit tracker was updated. I almost asked about it a week or two ago, but never got around to it. Thanks for the update.
Probably time for a new recruit map.

Just my two cents...
I think we’re on the right track for people.
Rivet and Fetch were my first two along with JHawR1 due to his significant recent contribution and I do like the idea of honoring KC88 posthumously if you will.
There are a ton of posters that I think are on the cusp and a compelling argument could be made so feel free to nominate away. One of those “Longevity” type picks that I kicked around in my head was a guy like Esteban. He’s been around since the dark ages as well.
Obviously the Bensa ‘Most Interesting Man’ photoshop series would be in my pics, along with the Cole Aldrich ‘Play Like a Man’ Old Spice.
I’m never really good at remembering the content of some of these threads but I’ve got a few historical posts I plan on throwing in the mix.
Questions, Comments? email me at denverjhawk@hotmail.com
thanks "Denver"
I have been around awhile, starting when I created a different monikor just for RCT named “BSC or Bust” at the beginning of the ’07 football season (yeah you heard me right). Crazy to think about how little was contributed on this site back then. Almost all of the growth can be contributed to you, Owen, so thanks for that.
I probably don’t contribute enough “original” content, though, as much as I used to since I got a real job a little over a year ago so there are others more deserving. Appreciate the shout out, though.

a guy earns his place by just providing consistency and showing up for a long long time and being one of the originals.

Thanks Owen.
I got to give it up for Fetch. That guy has been tearing it up both on RCT and twitter.
You're all pretty awesome.
I like RCT and don’t do a damn thing to help or support it in any way whatsoever. I don’t even pay enough attention to help out with this stuff, even if I wanted to.
So thanks for being awesome, RCTers, and letting me totally freeload. Especially I want to nominate you, Owen, for wahtever the hell this post is about.

My noms (for now, anyway):
Fetch is a must, and not just because he’s a fellow KU Law student. He’s been killing it here of late, and he deserves the nod, imo.
Rivethead also deserves a look. His passion and frankness about KU Football are nigh unrivaled on this site. Also, he was DEAD right about Turner Gill from the get-go. Major props to him on that.
Criticize FHOFNCHCBS at your own risk...
I do have to bring up a conflict of interest here....
I find it strange that the RCT twitter account RTs an inordinate number of tweets by some dude named Fetch.
The poster formerly known as DCJayhawk0208

Well I will say that Fetch has inspired a more active role...
on twitter by me as well. Although I will attest that I have never retweeted anything that Fetch has tweeted so he get’s full credit for those.. : )
