After an rip-roaringly ridiculous season, it's time for some awards! Nominations for the First Annual Once A Metro/Talking Bull Awards (name suggestions welcome) are open: please feel free to nominate multiple players/games/moments for each category in the comments. We will have voting via polls on Once A Metro over the next two weeks and by email to talkingbullpodcast [at] gmail [dot] com. This does mean you can vote twice -- vote early, and vote often! Other category suggestions are also welome.
Matt Conroy and I will discuss the awards a bit in this week's episode of Talking Bull and add in our own nominations.
