I'd wondered which came first. They have to pay for it too? It would have been cheaper just to give it a different name. That is dumb.

A&M's use is definitely much older (but I'm pretty sure they didn't come up with it either). A&M trademarked it sometime in the 80s and sued the Seahawks over it semi-recently and they settled. I think the Seahawks had to pay a lump sum for their previous uses and then yearly fees to keep using it.

So yes, dumb school trademarks dumb idea. NFL team decides it absolutely has to latch onto dumb idea and uses it. NFL team gets sued over it, settles, and then licenses dumb idea from dumb school.

Well I do watch college football and have literally never heard of this Bielema rear end in a top hat until this moment. But given the other caliber of douches in this tournament, I have every faith I'm going to be doing a whole lot of not voting for him.

Seriously? He coached the Badgers forever, was in multiple major bowl games (at least 2 Rose bowls off the top of my head). He recently left for Arkansas and sort of dropped off the face of the earth (aside from the aforementioned douchey statements).

Yes, seriously. I follow the Pac-12 primarily. If he were the coach of Oregon or UCLA I would know who he was. But there's three hundred and fifty colleges in the country and I haven't memorized the head coaches of every one of them, not even the ones who are occasionally in a Rose Bowl. It's hard enough keeping the 32 NFL teams straight, and especially not if he's one of the rotating cavalcade of failure that seems to run through Arkansas for some reason.

There is no question that what he did was douchy, but that's true of everyone else in this damned tournament.

Sheesh, no need to freak out. I was just commenting that he wasn't really an obscure coach at an obscure program. He was consistently coaching ranked teams (with multiple "star/hyped" players), playing in major bowl games, and even being nominated for coaching awards and honors that it would be strange for someone who "watches college football" to not have heard of him. I probably just have unrealistic expectations for the extent of what "watches college football" means to the average person.

Incognito, mostly because stories about him dominated football over the last year. It seemed like every week a new story dropped. Then, just when it most seemed to be over, even more things came up with the report and he attacked his car.

Basically, this was Incognito's defining year as a douche, and I'm certain that Lewan, who had a breakout rookie season, will put up even douchier numbers in the future and earn his place.

Phil Mushnick.

I was never a fan of Ward, mostly because of him being a Steeler, but I'm not really aware of him doing anything douchey specifically in the past year, aside from uh, existing? I seem to recall he was sort of ok when he was on dancing with the stars, but honestly I was drinking a lot during those shows, so my memory is fuzzy.

Douche of the year is about what has happened in the last year. While you can make an argument to put ND in the tournament every single year for merely existing, as poster Homestar Runner has eloquently done, they have not done anything this year, especially compared to last years championship season.

Therefore, my vote goes to Northwestern Apologists

Yeah, I feel like if anything Notre Dame had a down year for douchebaggery. Northwestern Apologists, because really a major story like this deserves to get out of it's first matchup.

12th Man. For all of the reasons listed, especially throwing crap at an injured player being carted off the field, that led to the nomination.

Everyone roots for a team. However, giving the fanbase a name and identity for solidarity is douchey. The fanbase doesn't need a name and their identity is rooting for their team. Nothing wrong with "Seahawk fans" etc. Most football stadiums are loud. Fans cheer for their team. There is nothing special about Seahawks fans. Yet they pay money every year to Texas A&M for the privilege of using the term 12th man; that is douchetastic.

is a thing that exists and is one of the top selling jerseys for the Seahawks. Any person who buys that is a gigantic douchebag.

They refer to themselves as "12s", somehow taking the douchey 12th man concept and finding a wormhole of doucheitude that allows them to defy conventions of physics of logic and become even douchier somehow.

On top of all of this, they won the Super Bowl this year, meaning that there are even more 12s running around than ever. This is the year to recognize the true douchetacular nature of the 12th man.

Bama fans didn't do anything of note this year, except being typical, obnoxious Bama fans. Just like Notre Dame, or if you want other NFL douche material, the terrible towel, they too are strong in the douche. But over the past year, their douchebaggery pales in comparison to that of the "12s" that comprise the 12th man

That's what I thought. We don't actually know. This is a tough fight.

This is essentially the toughest battle we've ever had. Lets look at this:

Jameis Winston
-Apparently a douchebag, goes on shooting sprees with pellet gun. acts like immature college student
-is viewed as savior and not punished for his actions because football
-crab legs
-may have raped someone, but we will never know for sure. He was never charged.

Rice
-Up to this point is supposedly a boy scout, no prior offenses to this
-actually is charged
-actually has evidence of dragging wife out of elevator. Remember, he dragged her out, he didn't carry her
-the wife then apologized for being smacked around
-but both are being charged

We don't know exactly what happened in that Elevator. Maybe the wife actually was assulting him and Rice got in a lucky shot. We also don't know if Jameis actually raped that girl. But what we do have is video evidence of the aftermath of Rice's incident which makes him look just awful. We also have Ray Rice actually getting charged.

When I don't know the truth to either, I'm going to pick the one with slightly more evidence. If Jameis is a rapist, then he deserves it, but we just don't have any real clue here. Ray Rice


To be fair, they are all coming from the Ravens PR office, and everyone is slamming them for it.

I was having a similar back and forth in my mind and this helped clinch it for me. Ray Rice

Honestly though, I could go either way and can't really argue with anyone for going DFO...

I'm sure Rovell will do plenty to better doucheify himself next year.
