Sweet 16: Bulltron Regional

We won't bother you with the details of our busy fall and winter, or our existential NOTY crises. OK, we will for a second. We've been doing this for more than a quarter century, in one form or another, and we've always feared the day when a Nohjay or a Nocandy or a Sidebottom just wouldn't do it anymore. During that busy fall and winter, it felt like that day had arrived.

But we're not willing to concede to Father Time just yet. And we apologize profusely for letting this -- ack, last! -- year's tournament slide. And we're ready to accept assistance for 2012. So how about we just say, wake-up call received, Upshake, and we get back to the business of selecting a 2011 Name of the Year?

Where we were? Oh, yes. The Sweet Sixteen. Let's start with the Bulltron Regional. Vote now.

No. 9 Rockwell Bonecutter: Technology executive.
No. 12 Leviticus Payne: University of Cincinnati defensive back.



No. 2 Courvoisier Winetavius Richardson : Armed robbery suspect.

No. 6 Ebenezer Noonoo: Ex-college hooper.

Good to see you back guys. Did wonder if NotY 2011 was going to stay in limbo for ever...

Sweet Spaceman Africa, I thought this thing was dead and buried. Thank God's Power Offor that Dr. Taco B.M. Monster may yet ascend the throne...

So glad you are back! I've been collecting names for NOTY 2012 and I was beginning to worry they would go to waste...

After watching Barkevious Mingo and company stink up the place in LSU's loss to Alabama, I decided to see if there was any hope for NOTY. I see my optimism was not misplaced. Yay!
