I was giving a presentation today, so I wasn't able to make it, actually.
I'm as upset about it as you are.
It won't happen again.
August 31st, 2011 at 4:45 PM ^
No excuses, play like a champion!
August 31st, 2011 at 5:08 PM ^
I never want us to play like those over-rated domers. This is Michigan. We play like the Victors or The Leaders and the Best! Never ever play like a domer.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:31 PM ^
He was quoting Wedding Crashers... but I get why you thought he meant ND with their stupid "play like a champion today" sign. Too wordy.
August 31st, 2011 at 6:37 PM ^
You win . . . wait for it . . . my approval.
August 31st, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
JACKPOT!
August 31st, 2011 at 10:22 PM ^
was tremendous.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:00 PM ^
...because we see these glimpses of great things. But we have to have consistency.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:09 PM ^
And better pad level. And I want to hear blogging.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:18 PM ^
I hope we are consistently consistent.
September 1st, 2011 at 1:18 AM ^
Some constancy and regularity wouldn't hurt either.
BOOM thesaurus'd.
August 31st, 2011 at 6:32 PM ^
Although, you have to admit he plays with Great Effort.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:00 PM ^
No presentation is more important than the team, the team, the team!
August 31st, 2011 at 5:54 PM ^
those who do not stay to watch the press conference and instead go to presentations that are most likely mandated by their trying to get a PhD will not be champions
September 1st, 2011 at 1:20 AM ^
That rolls off the tongue
Put that on a countdown clock.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:05 PM ^
This is a misallocation of my Beveled Guilt dollars! I demand an MGoInquiry!
August 31st, 2011 at 9:03 PM ^
Beveled Guilt dollars!
August 31st, 2011 at 8:17 PM ^
Bonus:
August 31st, 2011 at 4:43 PM ^
Awesomeness as usual
August 31st, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
Ever since this young man arrived, he's been a natural born leader. Always talking about his teammates and never drawing attention to himself. I'd love to see him on Mike Harts coaching staff here at Michigan someday.
August 31st, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
Actually, I have seen him not talk about his teammates and only himself - when we lose. He puts the blame on him and says he needs to work harder.
Pretty amazing young man.
August 31st, 2011 at 4:52 PM ^
double post
August 31st, 2011 at 4:48 PM ^
I wonder what it must be like to be from Pahokee, where dreams are usually what happens for someone else, and be living one in the Big House? No wonder he is always so happy. An entire new world has been opened up for him, and it probably includes a degree from the University of Michigan.
I almost don't want to put it this way becuase it sounds too much like the bleating of a lot of contented sheep, but Denard "gets it."
August 31st, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
Deerfield Beach, not Pahokee.
August 31st, 2011 at 4:51 PM ^
He's from Deerfield Beach.
August 31st, 2011 at 4:55 PM ^
My favorite moment was where he corrected the dimwit who asked about him saying he never gets nervous -- Denard responds, laughing: "I never said that. That was Tate. That was Tate. Not me. Not me. Not me. Not me. ..." and then the gem: "Because if I never got nervous before every game, I don't think I'd be playing football anymore. I'm always nervous before every game."
August 31st, 2011 at 5:04 PM ^
Then the idiot reporter keeps going on that line of questioning for like 5 questions.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:13 PM ^
If he was at the presser instead of being responsible with his presentation we would know who the ahole was. I'm thinking Jim McCarthy or Drew Sharp.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:25 PM ^
And Jim is practicing law now. Making an honest living.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:45 PM ^
and he also goes by douchenozzle.
September 1st, 2011 at 12:10 AM ^
Scroty McBoogerballs. That effing douchenozzle.
August 31st, 2011 at 6:15 PM ^
Practicing law? I wouldn't say an honest living.
August 31st, 2011 at 7:21 PM ^
And I'm actually planning on going back to law school in the near future.
August 31st, 2011 at 4:56 PM ^
-You said many times that you never get nervous before a game...
-You've got the wrong guy, that was Tate. I always get nervous before a game (laughing)
Awesome. Also, reporter fail.
August 31st, 2011 at 6:06 PM ^
Also, I have a lot of favorites that have played for Michigan......Denard is the shit and it will be hard to not put him at numero uno when its all said and done. I hope he excels these next couple years.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:05 PM ^
Journalist: You know a lot of beat shows are wondering if you can make the transition...do you feel like you have something to prove?
Denard: No. I got something to prove to my teammates and that's it.
Denard wins at life. Period.
August 31st, 2011 at 6:17 PM ^
that comment made my heart flutter, like a love-struck schoolgirl.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:02 PM ^
Is it weird for a grown man like myself to like a college football player I don't even know and am not related to this much? I keep telling myself there's something wrong with me, but man...that kid is something special.
/emo
August 31st, 2011 at 5:08 PM ^
I think you're okay. I, on the other hand, am in trouble. I think I might go gay for Denard . . .
/not gay
August 31st, 2011 at 5:15 PM ^
He looks like Venus & Serena's little sister, so it's not gay. Although.... those chicks look like dudes so maybe it is gay.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:18 PM ^
I'd ask him first, if I were you.
Actually, strike that. Just leave well enough alone, and simply appreciate Denard with your (understandable) man crush.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:45 PM ^
And nobody questions me.
September 1st, 2011 at 12:26 AM ^
/ not really close.
By the way, I have an awesome cookie side effect. My wife was shopping for bras online, and all I get now are these lingerie ads in the side bar.
September 1st, 2011 at 11:15 AM ^
Chalk that up as a +1 for marriage?
August 31st, 2011 at 5:09 PM ^
is all i heard.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:19 PM ^
I can't imagine how much tail that guy must mop up.
August 31st, 2011 at 5:10 PM ^
How do I go about wiping this massive smile off my face?
