www.yanndanis.com Brown thinks this will give Danis the Hobey Baker. I know he is good, but come on, if Leny didn't get it then Danis definitely should not.
You know, one of my pet peeves in college athletics is when institutions pander and advertise to voters for individual awards. Ala the "Joey Heisman" building-sized ad in NYC for Joey Harrington.

Normally, I'd support Danis as an ECAC player. This piece of trite homeristic crap takes away from my support (including the audio praise of the home radio guys, especially of Brown, isn't really a fair picture). Issuing press releases about weekly awards already won is one thing. Pandering to voters and putting one guy's accomplishments over the team's is kinda a slap in the face. As much as we CU fans supported Lenny last year, I'm glad that CU Athletics didn't do the same thing last season.
Wow..
I'll tell you one thing tho'. You have to be impressed with the work Brown put into this.
Maybe Brown called the marketing department at Miramax. They did get Chocolat nominated for Best Picture.

Someone with some spare time and a few extra bucks should build www.yanndanissucks.com...just for fun. :-D
You're too young to remember Ed Marinaro's days as a cornell running back and his run at the Heisman.
