After busting my own deadline by a solid 2 weeks, here is the first poll. I’ll take the top picks and do a final round next week. The person who suggested the winning tagline will win a $100 gift card from EISENBRAUNS. If a tagline that I suggested wins, then the highest rated non-Tony entry will get the gift card. Everyone is eligible except me and the people from Eisenbrauns. [See who-suggested-what...]
Feel free to debate and make endorsements in the comments section.

As with other contest polls, this one is restricted by IP address. If you can’t get to your own computer, then you can email me your votes manually Tony@Gmail.com
whoever came up with the “theology with a Southern accent” is brilliant…
Now the upside to this, we’ll have at least a handful of taglines for other bloggers to steal if they don’t win.
Hate to vote against a tagline by my friend Timmy, but of the top two I think “theology with a Southern accent” is better, as it is more specific to our school.
I sympathize with Andrew’s advice. I feel like some of these options are good for in-jokes and fun but I think they would drastically change the tone of this site into something that would not be a healthy representation of the Seminary with which we are associated. To address one instance: as funny as the “Boyce and Toy would be blogging too” is, would it be a respectful and godly tagline to associate with a site that is so prominently (yet unofficially) associated with the SBTS? Whoever wins should get the reward, no doubt, but I hope you exercise discretion and wisdom in using something to permanently associate with this site.
I have to say I agree with Brother Hank. He, oops I mean whoever came up with the “theology with a Southern accent” is brilliant…

Your check is in the mail.
…just don’t cash it until…let’s say February…
You need to capitalize Said at the end of the one in the lead.
I’m a little disappointed that “Because Boyce & Toy Would Be Blogging Too” isn’t getting more votes. Maybe it’s our lack of Baptist History.
Come on, people! “Because some things just have to be Said” is clearly the best one!
*if anyone is wondering I did not submit any taglines.
@ Matt -
perhaps people are getting getting in touch with their inner “accent”…
yeehaw!
Tony is the master of contests and polls. Where would SAS be without them?
Here we go again,

I few of my avid tagline fans have not been able to vote on-campus. Is that because of the IP thing, perhaps? Is their only recourse to email you?
I’m just looking out for the spirit of democracy and student suffrage here.
@Brother Hank: The polls runs and IP block, so they’ll need to email me for a manual adjustment.
I plan to take the top 5 picks to the final starting sometime Monday.
From an “old man’s” perspective, “Theology with a ‘Southern’ Accent” is great! Brilliant? Well, maybe it is!!!
I vote “Theology with a Southern Accent”….Yeah HB!!!
