Jackson County Sports HOF Voting Thread, Round I

Posted on February 4, 2009 by travellinbaen

Quote of the Thread:     “Syco, you ain’t nothin but the man for coming up with that info.”     Quail09 during the nominating period

This might be a little cumbersome, but here’s how I propose to proceed. Let’s limit the inaugural class to 30. At least a third of the class(that’s 10 for you Gautier guys) must come from outside Pascagoula or Pascagoula schools (PHS, OLV, Carver). Gautier players are considered part of the Pascagoula group until the schools were split. If you want to make an argument in favor of someone, put that in the original nomination thread. The ballot is the comments section below and I ask that you keep your comment in this thread to simply giving 10 names. Any names on a ballot after the first 10 will be disregarded. Anyone named on 2/3 of the ballots is enshrined. We’ll continue with future rounds until the class is completed. If you have any suggestions on additional voting procedures, make those in the other thread too. Please spread the word to anyone who might want to vote. I’ll keep the voting on this round open until February 9, 2009. The criteria is what you think it ought to be. There are some good suggestions on the nominating thread, but ultimately, its just your subjective opinion that matters.

About travellinbaen

I'm a 40 year old lawyer living in Ridgeland, Mississippi. I'm several years and a couple hundred miles removed from most of my old running buddies so I started the blog to provide an outlet for many of the observations and ideas that used to be the subjects of our late night/happy hour/halftime conversations and arguments.

    jmac asked me to replace his inadvertant second rooster pick with Kim Seaman. He’s having computer troubles.
