…the 2007 College Football Blogger Awards are here. Lead by the big boys in the CFB blogosphere, the nominees are out. They are spread out on EDSBS, MGoBlog, Dawg Sports, Burnt Orange Nation and Rocky Top Talk. Just a few thoughts:

— For a second straight year, Pitt Blather is nominated for the Best Big East/Notre Dame blog. This is a testament to Chas who I personally think is one of the best bloggers in the business. (Albeit a low income business for most, it’s a business nonetheless.)

— The actual awards are a great way to let let some people who might not be “in” with the vast number of great college football blogs on the web. It also allows newer and lesser known blogs to get some deserved attention.

— Since you can’t win a category if you won last year, Every Day Should Be Saturday and MGoBlog won’t sweep every award.

— My vote for Best Big East Blog will go to Card Chronicle. I try to visit a few times a week; always a good read.

— Funniest post? Enter the Octonion, the secret meeting between the Big East mascots with Roc the Panther being hilariously humanized.

— Eleven Warriors, an Ohio State blog, is beautiful. My vote for best looking site.

— The Birddog, focused on Navy football which I started to read the week of our devastating loss to them, is my choice for Best New Blog.

Soon enough, EDSBS will have directions so that you, me, and my dog (Finnigan!) can vote and award some winners.
