3QC Nominated for an Orbbie, Needs Your Support

by Evan Dunlap on Nov 5, 2009 8:00 AM EST in Diversions

Yesterday, you may have noticed a new widget in the left sidebar (on the main page) and in the right sidebar (on interior pages). It's a badge to vote for The Orbbies, or "Orlando's Rockin' Blogs," as hosted by the Orlando Sentinel, and it looks like this:

Third Quarter Collapse is proud to announce that the Sentinel has nominated it in the Sports category. As anyone who knows me in real life can attest, I'm very uncomfortable discussing the site, and I'm always uneasy asking anyone to do favors for me. It stinks. And you guys, just by reading the site, are doing enough as it is. Nonetheless, I would really appreciate if you'd consider voting 3QC for best sports blog each day, from now until November 20th, at 5 PM. I'm sure Eddy and Jon feel the same way.

Click here for the ballot page. Thanks for your support.

For all the free stuff that we get from this site... shame on you if you don't vote.

Congrats!

3QC definitely deserves it. We should probably expect more new members soon from this. Even though I actually like that we’re kinda under the radar, like our team =P

3QC is getting bigger and better, I feel.

The community is great – intelligible, respectful, etc. We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for everyone’s support

Well done ben and erivera!

Totally deserved! I actually visit this site before, AND more often than NBA.com. You guys never miss a beat!

There's an NBA.com website?

If people also want to vote us as Best Overall, you can do so on the same page.

We’re currently ranked 9th.

On behalf of Ben, Jon, and myself, I'd like to thank everyone for voting.

I’ve said this in the past and I’ll say it again, you guys/gals (the community) are the reason why this site is where it is today. We’d be nowhere without great participation from everone and being passionate about the Orlando Magic. Want to know why I comment so much? I always had this long-standing philosophy that if someone takes the time to contribute to something, take the time to recognize that and return the favor. So again, thanks!
