My nomination for 2007 BMBS Man of the year goes to Kevin Hagan.Some of his credentials include:
Graduate of BC and UGA
Attends Sacred Heart Church
Member of Ancient Order of Hibernians (maybe not officially)
One of the more well known and outgoing Irish Catholics in Savannah.
Indie Rock enthusiast
Beginning in 2006 and continuing into 2007, Mr. Hagan hit the streets.....literally. Like Forrest Gump, one day, he just started running. To his credit, Kevin lost quite a few pounds through his excursions, and recently completed a half-marathon in Atlanta. He should parlay his new figure into a new lady friend, but I digress.
The day of this half-marathon coincided with the UGA-Florida game, where I personally witnessed Kevin doing the worm in a bar in Buckhead to celebrate. You will find no shame in those eyes.
One drawback to Kevin's nomination is his stance as a staunch democrat. I once had to tackle him onstage at a Wilco show, as lead singer Jeff Tweedy had gotten the crowd quite riled up with his liberal rantings. In a drunken stupor, Kevin rushed up there to defend his honor. This lean to the left seems to be a Hagan tradition, which we should not fault him for in this contest.
What say ye?

Tough to argue this. The man is a phenomenal runner. He runs something like 50 miles a day. He fell flat on his face in the middle of a 40-yard dash against Michael Reardon in Kensington Park last summer.
You can find him in the student section at Georgia games, usually wearing home made red shirts that say things like "MUNSON, WHAT IS A HOBNAIL BOOT?" or something similar.
Hagan's most recent defense of welfare state liberalism was demonstrated in a vicious altercation with arch-conservative Greg Sewell about Katrina at Rachel Martin's apartment one night. Things got pretty nasty, but you have to at least commend Hagan for not giving a damn what people think about him.
Some nights I have nightmares that I'm still stuck in the back of Hagan's car on the way to school freshman year...
I have no clue who you guys are, but I randomly read your blog...thanks for the laughs and time waster during work hours.
My vote goes to this guy just for the worm dance at the bar in Buckhead. I live in Atlanta...think we could get a reenactment?
