PrintWe are now taking your nominees for 2011 Card Chronicle Man of the Year.
Please remember that the man of the year does not have to be an actual man, or even an actual human ("No Pants" was once a finalist). I just refuse to go politically correct with the title because, well, because I do. It's tradition.
Your past CC Men of the Year:
2010 - Charlie Strong
2009 - Vacant (I like to think it was Billy Gillispie)
2008 - David Padgett
2007 - Tom Jurich
The final list of nominees will be unveiled next week, and voting will follow.
Make your voice heard in the comments section below.

Last year’s win shouldn’t influence this. Who’s made the biggest difference for the program this year? CHARLIE STRONG

Teddy motherfucking Bridgewater.
Period.

I say
rename it the Card Chronicle “Charlie Strong Man of the Year Award”.
And then make him ineligible for voting because no man, with the exception of Chuck Norris, deserves to even be on the same ballot.

idk, Schnelly could hold his own in manliness
I vote we rename it the Howard Schnellenberger CC Man of the Year Award, only because it would seem like favoritism that HCCS would keep winning his own award.
by SpeedStudent on Dec 14, 2011 10:39 AM EST up reply actions
Strong would be ineligible
after the rename.
I think he deserves at least a nomination.
But probably won’t show up in the list of nominees because … well, because Mike creates the list, and he’s just so damn humble. Only think that could get Mike to put his own name on the list of nominees? …if Charlie Strong told him to.

Anthony Conner
Even after he had the most devastating, not to mention career-ending, injury a football player can have (save paralysis), he stayed so positive and inspired the team to go 5-1 in their last 6 games. Not only that, he has been an inspiration to those on campus and those in the community, who see him and his neck brace and can see and imagine all that he has been through and is still going through, yet he still has that huge smile on his face that just brightens anyone’s day.
With all of that being said, for the CC Man of the Year award for 2011, I nominate Anthony Conner.

Chane Behanan, Vance Bedford, or Clint Hurt
Chane has been discussed and heralded as much as anyone on this site this year. He could very well turn around the freshman don’t play/shine at Louisville impression and help our recruiting of big time names for the next couple of years.
My second nomination would go to Clint Hurt because I’m scared he will find and hurt me if I don’t – Charlie himself has givin his assistants all the recruiting credit, and we all know it is Hurt who is really tearing it up in Florida
And Vance Bedford – his “the train is coming, get on board or get out of the way” rant about the program is justification enough (not to mention defense has been the strength of this team during HCCS’ tenure)

TSF.com - for giving us one of the funniest CC moments ever.
I guess its a year late for Austin Montgomery or Bryce Cotton- but, in terms of comedic effect/general weirdness/Irony, that story can’t be beat. I think we should all take a minute to reflect on where we were when we read, “Bryce Cotton wouldn’t mind Louisville” and then where we were when we first heard that BC was actually a talented player who was overlooked by scouts everywhere (except AM).
IMO, these two stories represent what CC, and the blogosphere in general, gives us that ESPN, YAHOO, etc. cannot.

Actually, almost all of his big moments came in 2011 except for the UNLV game.
Marquette alone should land him this award. But he also had huge games against:
- Syracuse(22pts)
- St. Johns(25pts)
- @Nova (24pts)
- @Uconn(15pts, 4reb)
- Pitt (a “T-Will like” 8pts,7reb,5ass)
- Prov(20pts, 10reb, 5ass)
He would’ve easily landed BE Tourney MVP had we beaten UConn in the final: - Marquette(15pts,8reb,7ass)
- ND(20pts,3reb,4ass)
- UConn(18pts)
These are just some of the numbers. Much like Tim Tebow, there’s really no way to quantify what Preston! meant to last year’s team. Really, there’s no way on God’s Green Earth that team was anywhere nearly as successful without him pushing their buttons and leading the way. Preston Knowles was the truest definition of what it means to be a leader. He should go down in Cardinal Lore as one of the greatest Team Captains ever.
He was the driving force behind that squad, and it was never more evident than the two games we didn’t have him; struggling to a win against Depaul(?), and,…. well,…… you know. There is only one choice, IMHO, for “CC Man of the Year”

Excellent nominating speech!
The kid was the heart and soul of the most entertaining basketball team I’ve watched in my life – and I don’t even want to say how many years that is.
Heart, Soul, kidneys, lungs, blood, voice, everything. Preston meant everything to that team.
I’m not saying he was the team, just saying he was by far the most important piece.

4. Attended UL basketball game in the Bahamas.
5. Responded to nearly all of our tweets, either in reply or retweet.
6. Asked for and wore a #bringchickentothebucket t-shirt.
7. Gave us something to focus on, hope for, and entertain us during the dead period.

How about Our New Kentucky Wildcat Hero
I mean, Kentucky beat IU easily right? 15-20 points? Maybe more?
My initial instinct was HCCS or Teddy Franchise
But Chick and others have convinced me my nomination has to be Preston. Never had a bigger sports man crush than I did on ! last season and Charlie/Teddy will have the chance to take the honor again in two years after we win the MNC.

Zip em up.
"Free throws don't win and lose games." -John Calipari
Coming at the time of the year that it does
it’s easy to want to give the award to HCCS (or any successful football coach) since that’s what’s on our minds.
If we look back over the fullness of the year and try to recall the emotional highs of last year’s basketball team (you know, right up unitl the first round loss) it was an incredible season. Pitino motivated and prepared that team to completely overachieve (you know, right up until the first round loss). Even with all that I know there’s not enough support among this group for RP (think about that for a minute). Also I’ll agree that the bar is higher for RP than for CS, but that doesn’t make this football season as exciting as last basketball season was (let’s not forget some very, very embarrassing losses in there that ultimately cost us a BCS game).
so I’ll 2nd (or 5th) the Preston! nomination. He was the biggest surprise offensively and the difference between a so-so season and a season where we finished in the top 3 of the strongest conference in the country and beat the future national champions twice (almost 3 times). Nevermind that Preston! was the very first favorite that the Card Chronicle got to adopt as a freshman. He was practically the site’s mascot for 4 years. Show the dude some love.

The current NCAA hoops ranking we now enjoy was built on a preseason ranking that came from last year’s team oveachieving. If last year’s squad was middle of the pack, Wayne and Chane would not alone have vaulted us into preseason top 10s.
Say what you will about whether being ranked helps this year’s team, I can say for sure that most fans are enjoying it.

Whoever has kept J Bone from the Yum! Center
Definitely deserves a spot. If he can be isolated to Milk Chug dances on the party deck and Window World Football Throws from here to eternity, that’s better than letting him ruin any basketball games.
I think we should limit one person per sport and one coach (making football have two slots in the voting)
Football – Teddy B or Anthony Conner
Basketball – Preston(!)
Coach – HCCS
Other – Tom Jurich
I’m sure I don’t need to explain why any of these men need to be on the ballot

Peyton Sr. would also be acceptable for the "Other" slot

If only a nomination, fine. But he led the team on the field to start the season, and then he lead the team on the sidelines and in the locker room once it was Teddy’s time. Anyone about whom HCCS says “Gimme a team of all _____’s and I’ll win a national championship” based on sheer attitude deserves some recognition.

For the record, most of the people who read this blog
heard my spill on this already but I grew up in Louisville. Born and raised a Cardinal fan. I decided to attend school away from home and my brother went to TCU before me. I love both schools- Louisville more. I attend every TCU football/basketball game (for free I might add) because after 4 years of undergraduate studies and 4 more years of graduate studies I now work part time in the athletic department. So you can stop trolling and get a new hobby. Maybe learn to write because “i know how to speak” shows how much uneducated you are. Go Cards.

I know that there's no way he'll win...
But I think that with the job he did with last year’s team and where he’s positioned this team to go to, Rick Pitino deserves a nomination. Among others
Charlie Strong
Anthony Conner
Preston!
Teddy Bridgewater
Yum Center
Louisville Cardinals
Governors Cup Champions 2011-3011
A modest suggestion
So many good choices up here already and although I think Preston should take home the trophy (Although AC is really hard to overlook), I’d be remiss if I didn’t toss Dominique Brown’s name into the discussion. A long shot sure, but after becoming our go-to guy on 4th and short this season I figured the guy at least deserves a little nomination love.
I don’t have the quotation handy, but when asked if he would be willing to start taking reps at tailback his words were “anything for the team.” That is exactly why we’re back playing in bowl games. I don’t know how often Charlie and Rick talk, (or maybe even Jurich has had a hand in this somehow) but it really seems to me like the basketball team’s “Louisville First” is applicable to much of our football team. For me Dom is one of the guys that embodies it.
I cant decide
its like Im Heitzmans and I cant decide what I want…
I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Get the kuchen. And get me one too. Yum.

Definitely the butter kuchen.
God, thinking of Heitzman’s makes me homesick for the Ville.
"...and the present, for us, is something that we really look forward to."

I really like the suggestion of naming the award after HCCS.
The “Charlie Strong Card Chronicle Man of the Year Award” has a nice ring to it
Fool's names are like their faces, often seen in public places.

Dexter Heyman.
Senior. Suffered through Kragthorpe. Embraced HCCS’ philosophy, and really became the face of the football team this year. Intelligent, tough, articulate, passionate. Needs to be in the running.
very articulate, intelligent.
favorite press conference quote, in context of WVU being really mean peeps," We don’t mean any disdain…"
