ESPN: M Commits Answer Questions about M Football History
Interesting read from Wolverine Nation asking 24 of our commits questions about the football program: http://espn.go.com/colleges/michigan/football/recruiting/story/_/id/889…
Q: Name the three Michigan Heisman Trophy winners.
Sample A: "Desmond, Charles Woodson and that old dude."
Bonus, here is Darboh going all offensive Woodson: http://cdn.cinemagr.am/cine_1/112743327.gif

Well he was right wasnt he?
January 31st, 2013 at 11:57 AM ^
That catch is absolutely ridiculous. Darboh could be a guy to watch this upcoming fall.
January 31st, 2013 at 12:06 PM ^
January 31st, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
But only if that WR has some serious ups. Yeesh.
January 31st, 2013 at 12:39 PM ^
That is extremely Woodsonesque. Wow. I think we have ballers.
January 31st, 2013 at 12:45 PM ^
Is that Kalis at RT? 67? I don't know if I like that. Shouldn't he be at guard?
January 31st, 2013 at 12:51 PM ^
It was said last year when Kalis was coming in that the coaches would start him off at right tackle
January 31st, 2013 at 4:48 PM ^
January 31st, 2013 at 12:40 PM ^
January 31st, 2013 at 1:04 PM ^
on the notion that we don't have anything at that position now. I think Darboh and Chesson are going to surprise people.
January 31st, 2013 at 2:28 PM ^
I am hoping that is the case as well. Do you think they both will get much time this year?
January 31st, 2013 at 1:51 PM ^
The reaction of the guy on the sideline is priceless as well.

January 31st, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
Long live Coach Brittany Hoke!

My favorite, in response to the question about knowing the words to "The Victors":
"Do I have to sing it?" No. "OK, then yeah, I know them all."
January 31st, 2013 at 12:28 PM ^
Lots of time to learn.
January 31st, 2013 at 2:26 PM ^
question right. "Do you want to attend Michigan and play football". The rest will come with time. I note they all pretty much had that last question correct.
January 31st, 2013 at 7:18 PM ^
that statistic is about par. Remember the MGo Poll I did last year asking who knows "all" the words to The Victors? The MGo Poll said about 60% of those MGo Users answered Yes.
So I would expect the recruits to be somewhere about 50/50. That's amaizing because many of the recruits just recently committed so they did not have enough time to learn much more than the chorus.
What does that say for the rest of you Mgo Users?
January 31st, 2013 at 12:00 PM ^
January 31st, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
Coaches will correct that little gap in their knowledge on Day 1 on campus. I'm more interested in these guys adding to that total.
January 31st, 2013 at 12:00 PM ^
I love this stuff. I feel like since Chantel has gotten to wolverinenation there has been a lot more gimmicky recruit stuff, and I think it's generally hilarious.
January 31st, 2013 at 12:44 PM ^
Chantel was there at the implementation of Wolverine Nation wasn't she?...Along with Tom and Rothstein
January 31st, 2013 at 12:02 PM ^
Yikes. Let's hope they're better at football than Michigan football history.
January 31st, 2013 at 12:05 PM ^
in their hatred of Ohio St.
January 31st, 2013 at 12:06 PM ^
January 31st, 2013 at 7:20 PM ^
I would bet that many of us here would not do much better. We have about the same percentage of the recruits that knows the words to The Victors.
January 31st, 2013 at 12:06 PM ^
Darboh's catch gif is actually stolen by someone in shorts on the sideline. Reaction is amazing.
January 31st, 2013 at 12:06 PM ^
Who do you think was able to answer the most questions right?
January 31st, 2013 at 12:09 PM ^
January 31st, 2013 at 7:21 PM ^
He was singing The Victors while in the womb. This kid is True Blue and maybe the next Michigan Coach.
January 31st, 2013 at 12:11 PM ^
Shallman. Shamrocks are pretty much the smartest people around.

4) What's the name of the trophy for the Michigan-Minnesota football rivalry?
"They have a trophy for that game?"
9) Do you know all the words to "The Victors?"
"Do I have to sing it?"
No.
"OK, then yeah, I know them all."
January 31st, 2013 at 12:34 PM ^
A little known prelude to the Spanish American war that took place between states in the American Midwest.
January 31st, 2013 at 12:35 PM ^
January 31st, 2013 at 12:39 PM ^
"What's the name of the trophy for the Michigan-Minnesota football rivalry?"
"They have a trophy for that game?"
I chuckled at this one. I have to say, even realizing that the series is 72-24-3 in Michigan's favor, the jug has only gone to Minnesota twice in my own lifetime (but it spent most of the 60s there, I believe), so I can see where they are coming from here...
January 31st, 2013 at 12:43 PM ^
But I forgot the number of B1G titles
January 31st, 2013 at 12:45 PM ^
These are pretty funny. Gotta cut the kids some slack. Most of us likely know the answers to these questions, but how many of us did in the year before we started college? As a HS senior, I would have been lucky to answet any of these correctly.
January 31st, 2013 at 12:51 PM ^
January 31st, 2013 at 1:13 PM ^
With might and main we cheer!
January 31st, 2013 at 1:25 PM ^
January 31st, 2013 at 1:28 PM ^
I am not a trivia buff but I thought Bo's real name was Herm....
January 31st, 2013 at 1:29 PM ^
If Chantel were asking me questions I might forget my own name.
January 31st, 2013 at 2:26 PM ^
Is she over 18? Looks young.
January 31st, 2013 at 5:07 PM ^
January 31st, 2013 at 6:03 PM ^
How dare you.
January 31st, 2013 at 1:32 PM ^
What's wrong with kids these days? Asked whether they hate Ohio State, 5 said somewhere in between.
Coaches need to work on that too.
January 31st, 2013 at 1:41 PM ^
WH - Keep in mind that nine of them are from Ohio. Four of those nine were early commits and can speak their minds, the other five are still somewhere in crimson, gray and bird-poopy helmets land. Give us a few more months to sneak them out of enemy territory and you'll get a consensus.
January 31st, 2013 at 2:28 PM ^
they said they hated someone.
