Vote James Conner for Dapper Dan
- Thread starter Chaos
- Start date
If James Conner isnt a slam dunk for this award, I don't know what is..
Ummmm......except Sid won a Cup, an MVP playoffs, the World Cup of Hockey and its MVP and is currently leading the NHL in goals. So....not a "slam dunk".
You have been living abroad for the last year, correct?
Seriously it is obvious to us and he's got my vote but Sidney Crosby didn't have a bad year either.
All due respect to Sidney Crosby, Conner overcame cancer, broke the ACC touchdown mark and did yeoman's work in the cancer community in and around Pittsburgh, as well as nationally. Crosby's accomplishments dont come close
Well.. since there isnt even a real time tally showing results, I am sure you are correct there. Good question, I know in the past there has been some head scratching winners
I think the point here is the same argument as always. there are going to be a lot of fans who follow the Pro teams more than Pitt which may result in a different vote than we would like to see. That's life in a multiple pro town for a college program.
For me voting for James was easy. Easier than picking the female since I literally have not heard of any of them.
Scumbag Cook and the Fan are mad MilkDud isn't listed.
Frankly - I'm surprised he's not when you look at their past preferences.
This award lost all its credibility years ago by honoring Pedophile Enablers.
Give your money directly to charity - more bang for the buck!
Yes but JC isn't getting paid hefty amounts of $$$ to represent his school or city. JC is a great national story as well inspirational to us all. These pro players have seen enough awards thrown at them already.
Crosby didn't come close? So breaking the ACC touchdown mark is a bigger accomplishment than winning the MVP of the playoffs, and championship, also the MVP of the World Cup, and right now leading goal scorer. Again, Pitt fan math. Pitt goes 8-4, it is a great season. Penn State goes 8-4, they are "irrelevant".
Yeah the cancer thing is pretty big, but Sid has had his own health issues that they overcome.
More people know who Sid is than James Conner.
How does liking Sidney Crosby equate to liking Joe Paterno. You know the Penguins are in Pittsburgh too. And I know this and can guarantee this with 100% certainty, the Penguins have done more to excite and enrich the city than Pitt football has.
ummmm.... noooooooo.... I mean, I guess you are joking? Or not in the christmas spirit today, but I think it is painfully obvious to anyone who doesnt have shit between their ears that I was referring to his battle with cancer and spurring on a nation. But, hey, Crosby flipped some rubber disks into a net... cool.
Whatever... to be honest, I could so care less who wins the Dapper Dan award. It makes zero difference. If they want to pick Joe Paternos dead body, that is fine with me. So, arguing about it on a Pitt message board makes me want to lapse into a coma. So, if you want to Crosby to win, then vote for him. The Penguins dont have any enemies in the city, so he may just win.

Don't argue with me. Argue with the more casual Pitt fan who will vote for Crosby or some other pro. My vote is already in multiple times for James.
Not arguing with you and I know your a true blue Pitt fan!!!! Merry Christmas Wbr
I am just saying it is a year where there are definitely multiple deserving candidates. Pittsburgh Magazine just named the Penguins as "the Pittsburghers of the Year". Not saying it is right or wrong, but they did accomplish something special this year. And Sid specifically has come back from some serious health issues. Mario Lemieux had Hodgkins and came back and led the league in scoring in 1993. Dapper Dan Man of the Year that year? Jay Bell. Go figure.
Yeah I remember that year. I remember tell feeling was lemieux had won and didn't live in Pittsburgh at the time of something like that... can't remember specifically but that was weird. Jay Bell was Jordy Mercer
Lol le'veon bell? I'm a fan of all Pittsburgh teams, but seriously!? What has bell done other than smoke weed and run for a lot of yards? I love le'veon bell, but multiple suspensions should disqualify him from this award.
Crosby is fantastic in the community, certainly not a bad choice. I just don't see how for the year 2016 anyone can be chosen ahead of James Conner. Crosby can win the next 6 or 7 after this year.
Spurring on a nation? That's maybe a stretch. Eric Berry has likey had a more national impact.
That sounds like a dumb thing to.say. so, you think know Eric Berry sho7ld win the dapper Dan award?
Why would you bring up Eric Berry in this thread? I mean mother Teresa had more global impact, should she win?
