I find the media's lack of attention to Denard's "shoelace" story this year curious. Not long ago it was a huge angle. Given the fact that we're so litigous these days, is there is a potential shoelace liability issue that both the university and the media are trying to avoid?
Or... and I must admit I didn't notice... is Denard tying his laces or are his shoes possibly velcro only now?

You haven't heard?
Al Borges is forcing Denard to tie his shoes this year
Why would he do that??? It
Why would he do that??? It seemed like it worked well for DR last year, I think only on that one run did he ever encounter a problem (his shoe fell off). I don't see why Borges should involve himself in player's clothing, unless it will REALLY have influence on the game.

i just picked up the MSP Wolverine Kickoff and noticed that he had his shoes untied! to be honest, i hadn't thought of it for months!
"...when the ole' season is over, you and I know, it's going to be Michigan again; Michigan!"
Laces still undone...
FYI...Taken from Saturday's game.
What is this the WWE? Do we
What is this, the WWE? Do we need storylines and angles? If so, Hoke is clearly a face and Rich Rod was definitley a heel. But anyway, who cares that they aren't paying attention to it. I think it's great that we are flying under the radar...or at least we were until Saturday.

Nope.
I was just curious. Just wondered if anyone else wondered about it. No big deal. Not trying to resurrect it as a national storyline. I just happened to think that even as a nickname, "Shoelace" seems conspicous by its absence.
I could picture some kid tripping over his untied laces and his disgruntled parent wanting the university to pay to fix the kid's teeth.
That's all.
how often are stories reintroduced
all we heard about one year was Tebow's mission work - wasn't brought up the next
Ingram and his dad in jail wasn't reintroduced his junior year, etc.
i see absolutely zero reason it would be reintroduced. where's the post about brock news items on the decline?
better they ignored it
I was glad they ignored it - was getting overdone. At this point the attention should be on his stellar play, not his shoelaces.
I heard a rumor
May be unrelated, but I heard that Brian Kelly tried to strangle himself with Gary Gray's shoelaces early Sunday morning.
That might explain the purpleface. No, I guess it wouldn't.
HA!
BK told gg...son you got it all twisted!
Lucky enough to have my own JT wristband!!
otoh...
Nothing was said about Floyd's legal issues.

No Mention
Of Michigan missing their starting RB Fitz Toussaint?
btw
with this subject line, i am annoyed this was not a copy and paste of an Encyclopedia Brown story
They probably just figure it's played out. There's a lot more drama with the scheme change, etc.
Denard has spent the offseason working really hard and smiling at people.
