Denard at the MSU basketball game
January 17th, 2012 at 9:25 PM ^
It's just awesome to see our star QB taking a break from it all and just being a normal student for once
January 17th, 2012 at 9:46 PM ^
That's what I love about Denard's (and others') being there. They are showing they aren't just football players, but students like everyone else. You don't see that very often at other schools and if it is more common, it seems they don't get as much camera time as other schools' players.
And yes I typed that subject line myself. Just wanted to see what it looks like since it doesn't do it with Macs.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:59 PM ^
What other star QB at Michigan or elsewhere have you ever seen just hanging in the regular student section at a bball game? I don't remember ever seeing it. Denard just makes me smile.
January 17th, 2012 at 11:41 PM ^
Lets not forget these are kids.. For all the burdens we put on their performance.. Its awesome to see them having a great time surrounded by other students and kids.. That said.. I expect no less then 2000 yds rushing 50 tds and a natl championship ring ... Hey if you have time to go to a game your game better be solid right?
<br>
<br>Goblue.. The sharty sweep is coming again!
January 17th, 2012 at 10:11 PM ^
I think it's awesome and more common than what most think... I spent some time at USC and it was pretty common to see the entire football team at other events... even the non-revenue generating ones.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:21 PM ^
Well here at ASU the football players don't go to basketball games. Then again, neither do the students. Go Devils.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:33 PM ^
I hear that man, I never go to the bball games, we are terribad! Go Devils!

I just had a huge grin on my face the whole time from watching Denard, Treezy and Lloyd Brady digging the game. If I wasn't being wowed by Beilein's boys, I was totally watching those three. Man, it's great to be a Michigan fan.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:21 PM ^
Are you sure that was Denard? He looked like Eddy Murphy playing onre of the Little rascal characters
January 17th, 2012 at 9:25 PM ^
Denard is Michigan. The kid is amazing. A great person and student athlete.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:27 PM ^
I liked how he started bouncing 3 feet in the air before anyone else in the stands as Draymond's final shot left his hands. He knew.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:27 PM ^
Anyone have a picture of him and Roundtree at the game?
January 17th, 2012 at 9:57 PM ^
Should've been Lloyd Brady next to Denard.
Should've been Lloyd Brady.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:59 PM ^
Almost was, almost was.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:00 PM ^
TREMENDOUS!!!!!!!
January 17th, 2012 at 10:28 PM ^
is not enough!
January 17th, 2012 at 11:18 PM ^
Thats me next to Roundtree. I look like a total dork, but I don't care. That was awesome.
January 17th, 2012 at 11:45 PM ^
Yes, you do look like a total dork but I wish I was you instead of being the only asshole yelling at the TV in the bar during the game.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:27 PM ^
are awosome for joining the students, why don't we see more of them there!!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:27 PM ^
Tells you a lot about this kid....gonna miss this guy after next year.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:29 PM ^
I'm sure that this is a dumb question, but at one point they showed Denard and Roundtree reaching out for the shirts that the cheerleaders throw up into the crowd. If one of them had gotten one, would this have been an NCAA violation, because not every student had the opportunity to get a free t-shirt?
Again, I apologize for what I'm guessing will be tagged as flamebait, but I was curious what would happen here.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:33 PM ^
I'm not really sure, but I can pretty much guarantee you that the Free Press would find a way to make a two year investigation out of it.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:47 PM ^
As long as they handed out more than 2, they are fine.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:12 PM ^
That would be very Tressel-like.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:02 PM ^
Actually, every student DOES have the chance to get one so...
It's a random toss. Random. Everyone has an equal chance. Don't over think things dude.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:06 PM ^
Sorry! Also, I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer or anything. I know we won, it was just something that kind of stuck out to me. Plus, I feel like the NCAA has done enough dumb things that it's hard to ever write them off
January 17th, 2012 at 10:07 PM ^
While it is a random toss, I would hope that 'Tree would be especially skilled in catching the T-shirts.
January 17th, 2012 at 11:19 PM ^
Sir or madam:
I'd like to take a moment to appreciate your avatar. Earlier this month, I met a woman in New Orleans outside the Sheraton who had a purse that was based off your avatar: it looked exactly as it would appear on the periodic table of elements, except cooler than school. You wouldn't happen to be this woman, would you?
January 18th, 2012 at 7:52 AM ^
No, kind sir, I am not a woman not was I outside the Sheraton in New Orleans. I do however appreciate you making mgoblog a community where we do not reflexively assume everyone is male.
If you look at our blog, you can also find designs for Martin, Van Bergen, and Heininger.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:07 PM ^
doubt it as its considered a "promotion" they do at every game ala tshirt cannon style.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:58 PM ^
Thank you for addressing the elephant in the room. I'll take this one: the gifting of promotion t-shirts to student athletes shall be deemed acceptable so long as they are not in the middle of stretching upon reception.
January 17th, 2012 at 11:13 PM ^
they actually handed them back to who ever gave them the shirts which i think were other students. because they didnt have them and were wearing there blue shirts again after the game was over.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:29 PM ^
What's up with that hair?? Dread/mullet?? lol
Love the guy though, GO BLUE!!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
January 17th, 2012 at 11:52 PM ^
I love that you were the one who commenced the freakout over flow, when your name is JR's flow...As a fellow flow connoisseur, well done. FLOW HARD. Go Blue!
January 17th, 2012 at 11:59 PM ^
Those are cornrows. They just look ridiculously big because Denard has a lot of hair.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:31 PM ^
I loved the shot of him learning how to dance for 'Blues Brothers,' and cracking up.
Naturally, the camera zoomed in on his expression when MSU got their first lead of the night. I thought for sure if we lost this game, Spartan fans would make that shot their screen saver.
I want to see him celebrating like that after beating those guys at the big house this Fall.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:31 PM ^
Loved the I HAZ A SAD shot of him after State took the late lead, contrasted with him jumping 20 feet in the air on Green's last shot! (somebody please find these!!!)
January 17th, 2012 at 9:31 PM ^
I was lovin watchin him juss enjoy being a kid. Go Blue!!! Now we juss gotta kick their ass in football year after year and all will be rite in the year
January 17th, 2012 at 9:34 PM ^
This better become a staple celebratory gif of MGoBlog. I'm really happy someone caught this. Thanks swamyblue.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:52 PM ^
It's up there with temptation
<br>
<br>"...can't have one without the other....or the other"
January 17th, 2012 at 9:35 PM ^
January 17th, 2012 at 10:12 PM ^
I wonder how much clothes cost in the matrix.
Also, Roy "Blade" Roundtree
January 17th, 2012 at 10:50 PM ^
William Gholston just accidentally crushed the glass he was holding when he saw this, the glass which was containing rubbing alcohol mixed with Rock'n'rye. Watch out Denard!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
Is the kind of thing that makes me feel like there is some validity to me saying that Michigan football players are more down to earth than most major programs
January 17th, 2012 at 9:33 PM ^
legs too valuabe.
Otherwise awesome.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:33 PM ^
Believe it would have been an NCAA violation due to it was a give away and everyone had a chance to get one
