After Ball's TD run

Submitted by switch26 on

Did anyone see him mocking Denard for praying after he scores?  What a stupid asshole..

Reason i think he was mocking him is because he never does this, nor had he done it all game..

 

People's thoughts on this?

They zoomed in on Ball after that short run into th end zone, and he collapsed to the ground the same way denard always does and the way he did it, it def looked like he was mocking him..

 

I wouldn't expect someone to mock a player for praying either, but ive never seen him pray ever when he scores, and the body language it sure looked like it

But even if he did, it wasn't as bad as when (if I recall correctly) Mario Bailey mocked the Heisman pose when Michigan lost to Washington in the '92 Rose Bowl...

When we played hockey last year at Camp Randall and their guy scored and did the heisman pose?

When I saw this, I thought "Wow what a cock." Then I thought, "Well maybe he's just doing it cause he's on a football field, that's actually kind of funny if he isn't mocking." Then I realized he probably knew what he was doing and thought "Wow, what a cock."

Quit stretching for things to hate Wisconsin for. They came in here and kicked our ass by 3 TD's, hate them for that. Enough already of being pussies, oh he mocked Denard, oh he threw Denard's shoe, my god just stop it.

I agree that whining about certain things is counter-productive, but I don't remember the last time a player removed a guy's show and then threw it into the backfield.  That is a douche move.  The Denard taunt might not have been anything, but the shoe throw was definitely an ass thing to do, and might have been a delay-of-game penalty.

The dude slashed our defense like it wasn't there, he can do whatever the hell he wants when he scores. Maybe if the D had some pride/proper coaching they could have gotten back at him for the "mocking" but no.

He never did it for his other TD runs, so that is why I think he was mocking Denard.  I thought right away that was a pretty d-bag move.  Also the stuffed animal thing was strange, hopefully it was just a towel and Gerg was being helpful.

Is that Im purchasing a furry, stuffed wolverine this week and rubbing it in people's faces when they do awesome things. Did you just help that old lady across the street? FACE RUB! Did you just rescue that kitty from a burning house? FACE RUB! Did you just mistreat a hoe because she was wearing an tOSU shirt? FAAAACE RUB!

I was watching Gerg, and I kid you not there was not a UM player/coach or staff member within 15 yards of him.  He was just standing there alone.

 

dead man walking/standing if I ever saw one.

I want to see our players carry themselves w/ a bit of swagger and pride.  I want them to run the score up.  I want them to strike Heisman poses.  I want them to rip off shoes and not hand them back to the player.  Basically, I guess I want UM to treat opposing teams like Wiscy treated us today.

I want swagger and pride, but we're Michigan and I want to win (as big as possible) with class and sportsmanship.  When players act like jackasses, it makes us all look bad.

Personally, I don't think any amount of taunting can top scoring a TD.  Score the TD, hand the ball to the ref, because you've just said it all.

Wiscy did act w/ class.  All I saw was the wiscy player tossing the show to the ground.  He was probably amused, but I didn't read anything particularly negative in it.  Also don't really buy the mock prayer stuff; too many players do that these days.  Nothing I saw today paints Wiscy as a dirty team.  Think folks are offended because they were better than us and acted like they knew they were a better football team.  I'm a Michigan fan.  We lose to a better team, I congratulate them.  Go Blue!
