Ricky Stanzi Needs Your Votes

PrintWell, not really. In the Ricky Stanzi hierarchy of life, individual awards are probably pretty far down the list, far below things like team, country, and charity. Probably behind Twilight, too. Still, awards are fun and the Davey O'Brien Award lets you, the unwashed masses, vote for the quarterback of your choosing. So why not throw a little love Ricky's way?
If you need a statistical reminder of his awesomeness this year, well: Ricky Stanzi (176.85) ranks sixth in the nation (and third in the Big Ten, behind only jNWU's Dan Persa and Michigan's Denard Robinson) in pass efficiency, as well as third in the league in passing yards (1226), third in the league in touchdowns (10), and second in the league in fewest (!) interceptions thrown (2). That's pretty damn good. We might even say that's... Davey O'Brien Award-worthy.
And if you need in-game footage of Ricky being awesome cut to totally awesome music (though we'd recommend hitting mute at 3:30), we've got you covered there, too:

Aw, hell.
I went to vote for Stanzi and accidentally chose Hulk Hogan. Don’t ask me how he ended up on the ballet but it happened…fo’ realz.
Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.
Er, ballot.
Although Billy Elliot was also on the O’Brien watch list.

Watching that video reminds me

When you absolutely, positively, need a first down. Dial DJK.

I've been in love (truly) with five women, the Spanish Republic and the 4th Infantry Division.

I run a Kid Rock-free household, yes.
It’s also decidedly inferior to “Real American.”
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Is it being too forward to say "Kid Rock SUCKS"?
The video is great. I can think of 50 other songs that would work better than Kid Shit Rock in the 2nd half of that video :)

the only good part about that song
it uses Metallica’s Sad but True. other than that, it’s just flash and flair with his long hair swingin middle finger in the air.

For the good of all that is good and truly American
EVERY household should be Kid Rock free

My favorite Ricky play is still when he decides not to hand the ball to ARob (1:05)
That’s heads-up decision making. Love it.
huh, hes leading his recievers a lot better this year
except for the mcnutt interception he gave up

I thought Terrance Broadway was a fake name
then I used the power of google. Didn’t realize Keenum was out.

BTW, Ricky doesn't need that many votes to get to # 1
Fuck Boise State.
Interesting that D-Rob is farther down the list … perhaps there’s just not the love… but let’s show them the POWER of the Hawkeye Nation Side.

The youtube embed freeze frame is misleading.
It says OSU 7, Purdue 3. But we know who won that game. YOU WOULD DENY PURDUE’S BIGGEST WIN IN A WHILE.
Craven revisionism. Purdue fans are too clever not to notice.
OUR HATE KNOWS NO BOUNDS!
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Hey Ross - is there a way to put a sticky link of this on the main BHGP page?
Unless its a violation of your TOS with SBN… or something else. But since you can vote once per day, and Ricky is All-Universe, this thread is going to get buried eventually with all the other important stuff that Must Be Discussed. Just a suggestion!

We could put up something as a FanPost or FanShot and make sure it gets rec'd enough to stay prominent, I suppose.

Whatever works... it would be cool if we can get him the award.

Leave it up. I mean, hell, if there were--what was it?--1500+ votes on one of your Arizona/BHGP poles we could easily
Pig Pile this vote. It doesn’t hurt to have Iowa or any of its players in any public discussion about Iowa or any of its players. Of course, I’m kind of media oriented…

Ok, I’m back. Awesome video.
Incidentally, one of the last two Saturdays
I’m not sure which one (thank you Coors Light, Canadian Mist, and Hawkeye Vodka), they played “Born in the U.S.A.” in Kinnick after Stanzi dove for a first down. I immediately turned to my brother and said, “They should totally play Hulk Hogan’s theme song.”

If Ricky is the Hulkster
I guess that makes Kellen Moore and OMHR’s Robert Marve:

Yeah I know.
But I couldn’t remember the new dude’s name and I’m sure not going to waste valuable interwebz time studying OMHR. That would probably get me on some federal watchlist.

I voted for Ricky
and did so happily.
After looking at the list, Ben Chappel of Indiana only has one vote, and that is just wrong.

New Category
We just need a new category… Red, White, and Blue BALLS!
Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills Music
FYI!
Yesterday 10/06/10 Ricky was 6th in the standings with 6% of the vote and today 10/07/10 Ricky is 4th(!) in the stack with 7% of the vote. Obviously our “Chicagobating” is getting results. Like Lyndon Johnson use to say, “Vote Early. Vote Often.”

Hats off to that one proud Indiana fan.
