DRob Named Big Ten Offensive POW for 3rd Time
Not a big surprise, but Denard Robinson has been named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against Indiana. This is the third award in five weeks for DRob. According to Scott Chipman of the Big Ten:
BigTenScott @nicoleauerbach Big Ten record for offensive POW in a season is five, set by OSU QB Troy Smith when he won Heisman in 2006.
Add this distinction to the list of records or honors that DRob is on pace to set.
MSU WR/KR/PR Keshawn Martin was named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against Wisconsin in which he compiled 190 all-purpose yards, including a 74-yard punt return TD. Obviously defending Martin and his return game is a major key for Michigan against MSU on Saturday.
[Edit: Crazy DRob stat of the day]
BigTenScott BIG TEN NOTES: MICH QB Denard Robinson ranks third in Big Ten history for single-season rushing yards by a QB - after just five games
BigTenScott One more note on Denard Robinson - his 905 rushing yards trails only IND's Antwaan Randle El, who had 1,270 in 2000 and 964 in 2001.

.. a permanent post on this.. just update the title each week.
October 4th, 2010 at 11:28 AM ^
Great post...
October 4th, 2010 at 11:50 AM ^
.....OR did we steal Bo Jackson from techmo superbowl
October 4th, 2010 at 11:09 AM ^
Could we just get a dedicated part of the Banner with the current POW counts for the next few years...
October 4th, 2010 at 11:12 AM ^
He should also get all those national player of the week awards
October 4th, 2010 at 11:15 AM ^
You Michigan fans are so STUPID. You think your QB is so great, but you maize n' retards have never had quarterbacks as good as ours. Name one Michigan QB who's as good as Miller, or Banks, or Smoker, or Stanton. NOT ONE.
Michigan QBs go nowhere. If I flip on the TV tonight, where are the Michigan quarterbacks going to be? M.I.A., like those punks that let themselves get captured in Vietnam, something that no TRUE SPARTAN WARRIOR would ever let happen.

This may be the funniest post of the year thus far.
October 4th, 2010 at 11:21 AM ^
hahahaha. just made my day!
October 4th, 2010 at 11:22 AM ^
Drew Stanton still looks under his bed every night to make sure LaMarr Woodley isn't there. Then he sucks his thumb and falls asleep.
October 4th, 2010 at 11:29 AM ^
Michigan QBs go nowhere. If I flip on the TV tonight, where are the Michigan quarterbacks going to be? M.I.A.This is too funny. If you literally flip on the TV tonight, you will see 2 Michigan QBs starting for their respective NFL teams, one of whom has 3 Super Bowl rings. One of their back ups? MSU product Hoyer
October 4th, 2010 at 11:36 AM ^
As was the reference to where Michigan QBs will be tonight (M.I.A and the game is being played in Miami). Joke post.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:28 PM ^
October 4th, 2010 at 11:38 AM ^
Seriously, we've been missing a poster like you around here. We need someone to provide a fully accurate representation of the Spartan psyche. Keep it up!
October 4th, 2010 at 11:38 AM ^
HAHAHA. I'm convinced that this is Brian in disguise.
October 4th, 2010 at 11:40 AM ^
If you flip on the TV tonight, you will see Chad Henne start against Tom Brady.
So yes, one will be MIA, as in Miami, and the other will be NE.
I realize that you are a troll, but here is something for your reading pleasure:

October 4th, 2010 at 11:46 AM ^
...but didn't need the 'Banks' reference. Still have nightmares of that final Sparty drive for the win in ELansing. Urrrrghhh!!! Woodson came very close to a pic about two plays before the TD.
October 4th, 2010 at 11:51 AM ^
Leach, Brady, Henson, Harbaugh, Collins, Dreisbach, Greise, Henne, Grbac, Navarrre and Wangler. To name a few.
Michigan State WRs go nowhere. If I flip on the TV tonight, where are the State Widereceviers going to be? Probably awaiting sentencing for Jail time.
Nice Cheep shot at Vietnam POW's asshole! Do you really have no class or respect for the Military?? Kindly go down to the zoo, cover yourself in steak sauce and jump in the cage with 20 hungary and hostile Wolverines.
POW, MIA: You are not Forgotten
WWI: 3,350
WWII: 78,777
Korea: 8,172
Vietnam: 2,260
Persian Gulf:41

October 4th, 2010 at 11:52 AM ^
and this is why you are little brother.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:01 PM ^
please don't send any more of your receivers to the Lions. Thank you. They do indeed have a spartan skill set.
Here, come back and talk to me about fucking spartans.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:11 PM ^
I love that this was an obvious and genius shot at satire, but that we have such a low opinion of Sparty that many of us thought it was real.
October 4th, 2010 at 11:15 AM ^
is "POW(!)" an accurate acronym for the way he's been playing?
October 4th, 2010 at 1:08 PM ^
than just our offensive POW!
October 4th, 2010 at 11:17 AM ^
also, since he was mentioned in the original post...can I just say here that I despise Troy Smith with the fury and intensity of one thousand suns, now and forever more? Thanks.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:10 PM ^
That's odd, cuz I probably respect him more than any other QB we've faced. He beat us 3 times and won the Heisman. He was a heck of a leader, imo.
October 4th, 2010 at 11:25 AM ^
Well, if we score every time, he won't return punts.
October 4th, 2010 at 11:29 AM ^
Do any of you Walverines know if there will be a wheelbarrow on the sidelines? Otherwise... the victory walk to midfield gets a little uncomfortable.
October 4th, 2010 at 11:52 AM ^
EDIT: This was meant for the poster that was talking about "Walverines" in a wheelbarrow going to midfield, or something? It seems to have been deleted.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:04 PM ^
It's too bad that he'll be prison raped next week...you have to admit though, it was a good season for him this year.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:06 PM ^
that Denard has actual human numbers (not the video game ones he's putting up now), we win, and the message boards erupt into "OMG, HEZ NOT GOOD. HE HAS NO SKILLZ" and teh WWL begins a full day of talking heads shows about how Denard is overrated...
October 4th, 2010 at 12:07 PM ^
I just want to thank Shavodrick Beaver and Kevin Newsome for decommiting from Michigan.
http://www.tulsahurricane.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/beaver_shavodrick00.h…
nice stats!!!
http://www.gopsusports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/newsome_kevin00.html
nice non stats
October 4th, 2010 at 12:38 PM ^
Martin is a good returner, but Wisconsin's special teams coverage has been horrible this year. Arizona State had a 100 yd KO return for a td and another long return all the way to the 2 yard line against the Badgers.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:48 PM ^
So what is the record for most POW awards in a season? Denard's got to be really close to that.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:50 PM ^
...the OP.
October 4th, 2010 at 1:18 PM ^
I must have skimmed right past it. He'll break that mark.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:58 PM ^
As long as they accompany Michigan victories!!!
October 4th, 2010 at 1:07 PM ^
...to note that after just 5 games, DRob ranks 3rd all time in Big Ten single season QB rushing. His 905 yards trail Antwaan Randle El's season totals of 964 and 1,270.
October 4th, 2010 at 1:15 PM ^
he should have the record by/against PSU...
JoePa still set to go for #500 against UM - dammit.
October 4th, 2010 at 1:22 PM ^
I thought this poll was pretty interesting (siap):
http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/polls?pCat=114&sCat=368
Which of these quarterbacks ranks as the most exciting college football player?
Tebow- 17%
V. Young- 19%
Mike Vick- 29%
Denard- 35%
Also, he got 63% of the vote for the Heisman if awarded today, including beating out Pryor even in Ohio (45%-39%)
Meaningless in the long run, but interesting to see how he's viewed nationally.
October 4th, 2010 at 1:21 PM ^
...how is Denard going to win the Big Ten Player of the Week award during our bye week, so he can go 13 for 13?
October 4th, 2010 at 1:54 PM ^
when your watching the game live, you can just feel the excitement in the stadium
