denard 4 heisman

I wanted to share with the MGoBlog community a suggested new nickname for Denard.  Denard Dieciseis.  Kinda like Chad Ochocinco.  But better.  Let me know what you think...

Check out the below link to ESPN.com's Heisman watch:

FYI - a quick review of the current stats show Denard atop the leaderboard in rushing yards and also in the Top 10-15 for passer rating.  And if they combined his rushing and passing TDs, he would be in the Top 5 for total scoring as well.

[EDIT:  Its pretty amazing how a seemingly minor reply about not liking the nickname "Shoelaces" can quickly get out of hand.  You'd think I had just insulted Denard's mother or something.  Yes, its an original nickname.  No, I don't like it.  But who cares?!  Its just my stupid opinion about a nickname!  FWIW - I think Denard's a beast and I can't wait to watch him play on Saturdays.  He's quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite Wolverines and, coming from a guy that's lived and breathed Michigan football since birth, that's a pretty big thing.]

[EDIT 2:  It's pretty sad that I'm sitting here at my desk worrying that people now think I do not like Denard and am not "all in for Michigan" just because I don't like his nickname.  I better call a therapist!]

I'm posting this because:

* It's the first time I've seen Denard referrred to as the "Michigan Magician."

* I found it interesting that the top three in the list all have some sort of historical connection to Rich Rodriguez.  Interesting twist of fate...

Denard's gotta play both ways...QB & CB

He can do it.
