Denard in the NCAA 14 cover vote finals -- VOTE
Denard is (losing early) in the finals against Ryan Swope from Texas A&M. Everybody go vote & spread this around, or complain about how you don't want Denard on the cover because of the Madden curse(?)!
I'm sure Denard gets money off of this and has been promoting this himself, so let's give the man what he wants!

I'll probably buy this game either way, but I'd buy it earlier with Denard
February 26th, 2013 at 4:06 PM ^
A&M lead the earlier rounds, not sure how, but denard is currently holding a slight lead. Get the word out and tell friends to vote, or thousands of kids buying NCAA 14 will all have to Google Ryan Swope next year.
February 26th, 2013 at 4:32 PM ^
As of 3:30 CST both have over 28,000 votes with Denard holding a 100 vote lead. Don't let the A&M'ers catch up. They are like the MSU of Texas, you can't let them ever win anything.

All you need to do is click the circle and the vote counts, right?
February 26th, 2013 at 4:45 PM ^
affirmative
February 26th, 2013 at 5:11 PM ^
Correct. Also tell every other Michigan fan you know to vote.
February 26th, 2013 at 4:46 PM ^
Swope has the lead by a slim margin now.
I think it would really help if we could get the mgobanner switched for this week to a picture saying "VOTE FOR DENARD" with the link.

Sam and Ira probably know about this already, but I tweeted the link to them just in case and asked them to retweet it. Between the two of them, they have over 21,000 followers, so hopefully that will help tremendously (if they see my tweet).
Everyone tweet the link to them: @SamWebb77 and @michiganinsider.

Swope has a 400 vote lead now
the south is out in full force

Apparently this is Ryan Swope. I didn't know what position he played or that he was a white wide receiver. Telling. He also looks like a hillbilly. http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/ryan-swope?id=2539323

Does anyone know who this Swope guy is? I am guessing no.
February 26th, 2013 at 5:22 PM ^
We need the University of Texas people on our side. Someone who knows their blogs should alert construction worker orange to vote against the aggies.
February 26th, 2013 at 5:40 PM ^
Agreed, we can't do this without help. We might even want to make a pact with another major blog that we'll vote for them next time there's no Michigan conflict.
So please reach out. I'd do it if I actually had contacts.
PS: we are currently losing
February 26th, 2013 at 5:28 PM ^
Seriously. At least people know who Denard is.

Sorry. I am going to the Toledo Walleye/Denard signing on Sat with my daughters who want stuff signed and to meet him. I am not a big autograph guy but have paid the combo ticket price so I will have the opportunity.
What suggestions do you guys have for an item to be signed? I have an older authentic helmet, but I don't really need to get that signed. I have a Mike Hart and a Chris Perry signed jerseys through a charity auction. I could buy a Denard jersey, but that is easy.
Since I don't really care about the actual autograph as mush as just meeting and thanking him for being him, I thought it would be funny to print out a picture of Vincent Smith and ask Denard to sign that to get his reaction to it. It would be funny to have it say, "This isn't me" signed "Denard Robinson."
Thoughts?
It would be great if anyone deems this worthy of its own thread.
Thanks.

When Denard was here in AA, I had him sign the Michigan Daily from when M beat ND in 2010 (the original 'Heisman pose' picture). I think it's cool to find something other than the standard football or helmet. The V. Smith picture is pretty creative, but just think of what you'd want hanging up 10, 15, 20 years from now.
February 26th, 2013 at 10:10 PM ^
I had him sign my ticket to his first start against UConn.

February 26th, 2013 at 6:45 PM ^
2300 and counting he is down, wth
February 26th, 2013 at 7:02 PM ^
There are just too many people that hate Michigan.
ohio fans, state fans, notre dame fans. Plus all the SEC inbreds voting together doesn't help.
One way or another, Denard will be on the cover. I make custom covers. Hell, I have a custom Elvis Grbac cover on my Bill Walsh College Football for the Genesis.

It's down to Denard and some white guy WR who no one has ever heard of?? And the white WR is leading?!?! Come on, Michigan fans! Let's DO THIS! Let's GO BLUE!
February 26th, 2013 at 8:08 PM ^
I vote based on the size of their.... wikipedia pages.
February 26th, 2013 at 8:18 PM ^
Denard is back in the lead but he still is only up by less a thousand votes. Spread the word!
February 26th, 2013 at 9:02 PM ^
I went over to Shaggy Bevo and asked some Longhorns to help. They are.
Denard is in the lead right now. Let's pray he wins this.
February 26th, 2013 at 9:02 PM ^
February 26th, 2013 at 9:29 PM ^
when is the voting deadline?
February 27th, 2013 at 12:38 AM ^
March 8th, but Denard is pulling away which seems pretty accurate when referencing his career. Ryan Swope is deserving of a Heisman according to Aggie fans, but didn't break 1,000 receiving yards this season. Denard is the quintessential pick for this cover and deserves it for the role model he is. Last I checked, Denard was ahead by almost 5,000 votes; a great sign, but he needs MOAR. Go vote, Go Blue!
February 26th, 2013 at 9:40 PM ^
Denard is up by about 4000 right, but let's keep it up!
February 26th, 2013 at 11:08 PM ^
February 27th, 2013 at 10:46 AM ^
Literally telling everyone I know to vote. Seems like we're doing a great job. Keep it up! Keep telling everyone you know who is on Facebook to vote for Denard.
February 27th, 2013 at 11:34 AM ^
Denard is now up by ~11.5k
February 27th, 2013 at 3:07 PM ^
Still have a big lead but if any of you have connections as previously mentioned, to Longhorn U.. now is the time to rally them. Perhaps LSU too.. just don't want to buy a game with random white guy who ran a 4.3 40 so now he is a heisman winner in the eyes of Aggie country.
February 28th, 2013 at 9:01 AM ^
Not sure why this isn't being promoted more. Having Denard on the cover of a video game is a great way to get up and coming children aware of Michigan and if EA sports, who kids buy games from year after year, gives us a cover athlete. It raises awareness of our tradition more. Just a thought. Keep pushin that vote guys!

We're losing ground.
