The Lance Award is presented weekly to the person who finds himself (or herself) in the bravest (though not necessarily most intelligent) situation of that week. This page is an honor to the previous recipients of the Lance Award. A brief history of the Lance Award: The Lance Award was created directly because of Lance. It was actually created in conjunction with the first Lance Award: as a result of asking out a girl. Actually, the first time he tried to ask her out, she walked the other way after class because he didn't realize that she had somewhere else to be, so he didn't even get to ask. He later did, and thus was born the Lance Award. It is now awarded weekly to a lucky recipient. Below, you can find a week-by-week description of recipients. Enjoy! We also have pictures of Lance getting hurt (not that they were hard to find). Think you have a Lance Award-worthy incident? E-Mail it to me! "Sorry. I was distracted by my package." --Lance

himself in a game of two-hand-touch football and fracturing his collar-bone

note, his first words after the shock wore away enough were, "Hey,
you wanna see?" followed by, "You know, it only takes twelve
pounds of pressure to fracture a collar bone." Very Craig! ;-) |
