I wouldn't drive to A2 to listen to AC/DC or Special K's dance mix tonight, or even to hear Special K yell out, "Get Looouuuuuud", but I'd come to watch our kids, Dennis in particular, have fun out on that field. They deserve to have some fun. And I think Penn State was scared to kick it to crazy dancing returner guy. They kicked it out of bounds a few times. I appreciate Dennis and his dancing.

Think about it,

This year is one of the lowest points in program history in terms of our record, how are fans are reacting, how the administration is reacting, and how the media is reacting towards the program.

Then despite the all the negativity, the team gets out on the field and scrapes and claws for this win like their lives depended on it. Gardner was screaming on the sideline like a wildman when he got removed, the defense played absolutely lights out in the 2nd half, then fleetwood pops onto the field and dances to fucking atomic dog.

Who cares if this was just a win against a gimpy penn state and we might not make a bowl, that moment is the shining beacon that despite everything that's going around us, the guys on the field, the people in the stands, and the people watching at home, can still have a great time in the big house. Which is really the reason we go, because if we wanted to just win, we'd all bandwagon to the next hot team.

So if there this isn't the perfect song and dance to become michigan football canon, then I don't know what is.

I like Norfleet. But while he's jive dancing the TD return drought continues. It'd be nice if he could take one to the house before his career is over at Michigan. The clock is ticking...

I can see where some might look at this as inappropriate.  However, the effect this has on the fans is unbelievable.  The crowd goes NUTS when he does this - and I think that is great.  The kid is upbeat and this is how he prepares for the return.  I remember him dancing at the Outback Bowl and even a few other games over the last 3 years.  So it's not a recent phenomenom.

In an era where the AD tries everything to enhance the experience, here we have a 21 year old college athlete putting on a 40 second performance for the fans - and based on the cheers I heard last night, they LOVED it.  

That is organic.  That is how traditions start.  If the kids legacy is that he danced before punt returns, good for him.  Brandon buys halftime talent, Norfleet provides it at punts - for Free!  Norfleet for AD?

I appreciate Norfleet. Say what you want about his lack of housing the ball, it takes a team. He sets records and people shit on him.  Maybe if the special teams wasn't a joke altogether, he'd have a mile-long highlight reel. 
 

Blaming individuals  who keep giving it their all for a lack of team cohesion is starting to make me sick.

Just to give some info on this, Dennis is a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc (Ques for short) and he was stepping to Atomic Dog.  It's the unofficial theme song of the frat and if it comes on anywhere usually any member within earshot will start stepping/hopping to it.
