The Tab Presents: BNOC of the Year

In an attempt unprecedented in the Exeter Uni community, The Tab is seeking once and for all for the answer to a question we’ve been asking ourselves for months: just who is the Biggest Name on Campus?

Whether they put on your favourite club night, run your sports social or merely seem to be omnipresent whenever you’re in the Forum, we want you to nominate them!

Our Tabademics (Tab academics, for the benefit of Lukies) have been mulling over what maketh a BNOC beyond the mere acronym. They have come up with the following criteria:

1 GROSS POPULARITY – a fellow member of the university community that both you and almost everyone else you know are familiar with. Also applies if you pass them on campus, recognise them without knowing where from…and then realising it’s because you’ve Facebook stalked them.

2 FUNCTIONALITY – a fellow member of the university community who you do not know whose name you hear referred to solely in relation to their function or purpose within said community e.g “oh yeah, you know Mr X, he runs that night Y at club Z”.

3 INEFFABLE UBIQUITY – a fellow member of the university community whose name you hear all the time without comprehending their function or purpose within said community.

If any names immediately jumped out at you whilst reading the above, let us know! Send us a paragraph of three to four lines nominating your BNOC of the Year. Nominations will close at 9pm on Sunday 21st October: numbers 20-11 will be revealed the following afternoon, along with the chance to vote for your favourite out of the top ten.

Yes, it’s a shameless popularity contest. Welcome to university.
