Thats right. The votes are in, they've been tallied, and a total of 82 users voted! All that participation was wonderful, but it also meant that almost every single candidate was within 6 votes of the cutoff line. Because of that, I raised the inaugural class number to 17.

Before I announce this amazing group of coaches and contributors, I want to congratulate all the nominees for even being mentioned. You guys recieved a great honor, one I hope someday to achieve. Many of you are just as deserving as these guys, and will have more chances to enter the hallowed Hall of Fame.

And now, your inaugural class:

Congrats to the very first class in the GD Hall of Fame!

Nice work caesari .Congrats to all those who make up the class !!

Congrats to all those guys.  Nothing against anyone who made it, but it isn't a GD Hall of Fame without Deandg.

And that is the only deficiency in this new generation of GD coaches, they never knew deandg.

EDIT: Heck, I never knew deandg. I am one of the new generation, I just did a bunch of research on each finalist.

Yeah, guess so. Good to see you back duke.

I can have no respect for the HOF with Jeff in it.  He makes it totally classless.  Sorry Caesari.  He doesn't deserve it.  There is more to most Hall of Fames than just record.  I voice my opinion under my own name and not some made up one.  A HOF should be more than record.  Jeff should never get on one as he lacks good moral fiber.  This is more of a popularity list.  How many votes were from guys with more than one ID?  Doesn't really matter to me as I won't ever be on it nor do I care to be.  With Jeff on it I don't want to be associated with it.

Well you're in luck because you'll never be associated with it because you're too stupid. But feel free to get as close to it as you can by commenting on my membership, I'm happy to lend you the only credence you have to even be posting in these threads. Oh snap, what's that? I'm in the inaugural class of both GD HOF'S! Oh that's really gotta burn that ol' kook up. And if i pushed it my other ID should be in too, and I should be in as an contributor for keeping these lame *** forums alive, but I don't like to toot my own horn....
