Interesting read from Wolverine Nation asking 24 of our commits questions about the football program: http://espn.go.com/colleges/michigan/football/recruiting/story/_/id/8897...
Q: Name the three Michigan Heisman Trophy winners.
Sample A: "Desmond, Charles Woodson and that old dude."
Bonus, here is Darboh going all offensive Woodson: http://cdn.cinemagr.am/cine_1/112743327.gif
Well he was right wasnt he?
That catch is absolutely
That catch is absolutely ridiculous. Darboh could be a guy to watch this upcoming fall.

Great throw by Bellomy too,
Great throw by Bellomy too, right? Put it only where the WR could get it.
Yeah
But only if that WR has some serious ups. Yeesh.
That is extremely
That is extremely Woodsonesque. Wow. I think we have ballers.
Hmm...
Is that Kalis at RT? 67? I don't know if I like that. Shouldn't he be at guard?
It was said last year when
It was said last year when Kalis was coming in that the coaches would start him off at right tackle
Shoelaces flapping in the wind!
The coaches aren't going to
The coaches aren't going to play Kalis at RT if we really need him at guard. If he's at tackle,it either means the coaches like who is at guard, or because he's able to practice at both. Not everything is bad.
Well Darboh seems to have
Well Darboh seems to have those ups. See, Bellomy's moon-balls are all part of the secret plan!
Much of the hand-wringing about WR recruiting seems predicated
on the notion that we don't have anything at that position now. I think Darboh and Chesson are going to surprise people.
I am hoping that is the case
I am hoping that is the case as well. Do you think they both will get much time this year?

My favorite, in response to the question about knowing the words to "The Victors":
"Do I have to sing it?" No. "OK, then yeah, I know them all."
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
No big deal
Lots of time to learn.
Indeed - each and every one of them got the answer to the first
question right. "Do you want to attend Michigan and play football". The rest will come with time. I note they all pretty much had that last question correct.
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
Actually
that statistic is about par. Remember the MGo Poll I did last year asking who knows "all" the words to The Victors? The MGo Poll said about 60% of those MGo Users answered Yes.
So I would expect the recruits to be somewhere about 50/50. That's amaizing because many of the recruits just recently committed so they did not have enough time to learn much more than the chorus.
What does that say for the rest of you Mgo Users?

Coaches will correct that little gap in their knowledge on Day 1 on campus. I'm more interested in these guys adding to that total.

I love this stuff. I feel like since Chantel has gotten to wolverinenation there has been a lot more gimmicky recruit stuff, and I think it's generally hilarious.

Not so fast my friend
I would bet that many of us here would not do much better. We have about the same percentage of the recruits that knows the words to The Victors.

Darboh's catch gif is actually stolen by someone in shorts on the sideline. Reaction is amazing.

My Own Favorite...
"What's the name of the trophy for the Michigan-Minnesota football rivalry?"
"They have a trophy for that game?"
I chuckled at this one. I have to say, even realizing that the series is 72-24-3 in Michigan's favor, the jug has only gone to Minnesota twice in my own lifetime (but it spent most of the 60s there, I believe), so I can see where they are coming from here...

Questions
These are pretty funny. Gotta cut the kids some slack. Most of us likely know the answers to these questions, but how many of us did in the year before we started college? As a HS senior, I would have been lucky to answet any of these correctly.
I'm guessing most fans don't know
ALL the words to the victors. I admit I didn't know them all until last year. "And now! A cheer! For they are here triumphant! Here they come with banners flying"
Warning: My imagination is inefficient.

What's wrong with kids these days? Asked whether they hate Ohio State, 5 said somewhere in between.
Coaches need to work on that too.

WH - Keep in mind that nine of them are from Ohio. Four of those nine were early commits and can speak their minds, the other five are still somewhere in crimson, gray and bird-poopy helmets land. Give us a few more months to sneak them out of enemy territory and you'll get a consensus.
