Denard tribute

I was hoping to post this on a happier note.  But it's still relevant. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2xuk-t6iFA

Looking it over, I'm really not pleased with some of the quality.  Especially since some parts seem choppy.  I'm going to have to finally learn how to do HD before next season.

Go Blue!  Always!

Thanks but there's no need for that.  I have HD now.  I think I still need to get a DVR to transfer footage.  Even so, there's already several folks on YouTube who do current highlights anyway.  So it's not dire. 

I do still get weird looks at Rite Aid when buying VHS tapes.

Looking at where the program was at then and where it is now, it had to be at least 10 seasons ago.

I cringe to think of next years offense without Denard. It is akin to losing Woodson after the 97 season. A player that could single handedly decide the outcome of a game. I do not think his impact is going to be fully felt until next fall.

This team in the future (#134 and beyond) will be a true Coach Hoke team. Rally behind these gentlemen and root for these players. They will win a big 10 championship and make it to the Rose Bowl. Don't give up. Never give up. Coach Hoke has been building a promising team. I expect 2013 to be a big year. I want you all to expect the same. God bless...

Thanks a lot for this. As tough as it was to watch, it was perfect. Words can't explain how much Denard did for our program. As rough as it has been in the past few years, I feel privileged to have spent my first three years at UM watching one of Michigan's all time greats. He will definitely be missed next year. Good luck at the next level and thanks for providing me with some of the greatest memories of my life.

Thanks for posting this, WH. Watched the whole thing through, and it's a great walk down memory lane.

It's been a while since I rooted for a player like I did for Denard. At some point I grew up, played ball myself and learned that football was truly a team game. Unfortunately I also learned that some of the guys on the TV could be absolute brats, too. I stopped believing in superheroes. I'm a grown-ass man now, but Denard made me root like a little five year old again. As silly as this is for me to say as someone who graduated before he enrolled at Michigan, Denard was like watching a superhero.

I'm sad to see him take off the winged helmet and the maize and blue, and I'm sad how his senior year felt a bit underwhelming. I'm going to miss watching him on Saturdays, and seeing him singing "The Victors" after a win with a smile on his face.

But I'm also excited for him to prove everybody wrong and light up the NFL. Good luck, Shoelace.

And both loved and under appreciated by us fans. When he was in, our O was a threat to score regardless of field position or down and distance. Denard always gave us a chance to beat anyone and I hope he carves out a nice living in the NFL, preferably with my Bears...

and Denard might be my favorite one of all.  I feel really blessed to have been able to watch him at the Big House for the last 4 years.  Thanks Denard and good luck in the NFL!

I don't remember the Woodson days and there were always great players throughout the early 00's. To me, Denard is what I correlate with Michigan Football. With the legacy he left behind and him being the first player like this for me, DRob will always be my favorite player. Thank you Denard.
