If Denard becomes the starter...
As I sit at my computer and relentlessly check the board for new topics and all things Michigan, I thought I would start a thread with a positive tone rather than the dong-punching rubbish of the past week.
There is plenty of speculation as to whether Denard will become the starter this season. What is not in question is the fact that he is one of the fastest players on the team, and that he has the potential to take it to the house every time he touches the ball.
I wonder how many times we will hear a call similar to this after Denard shows his defense shredding skills:
"If you look real close there's a jock strap on the field and it belongs to (insert defender's name here)." -Matt Millen
Starter or not, having a full year under his belt will make DRob a better all around player, and an exciting piece of the puzzle in 2010. Go Blue.

Here's hoping he can shred through our opponents' defenses.
August 20th, 2010 at 5:03 PM ^
This is about the hundredth identical thread of this nature. Thanks for clogging up the board.
August 20th, 2010 at 5:22 PM ^
Don't forget that you don't need an id to post on this site. I obviously don't know how old you are, or how old the op is, but you might have just shat on a 12 year old.
August 20th, 2010 at 5:03 PM ^
I'll let you handle this one.
August 20th, 2010 at 5:07 PM ^
Sorry fellas. I'm sorry for 'clogging up' cyberspace talking about one of our premier players. I was under the impression talking about the team was okay. I guess I will make another highlight video of the same 16 clips only to a different song to keep things moving freely.
Thanks.

If you added anything new.
August 20th, 2010 at 6:17 PM ^
maybe you should upgrade your dial-up, that way it won't take 7 minutes to load a page and you won't have to complain about stupid shit that should only take a couple of seconds

Magnus has been on a "quit cloggin' up the board" kick lately.
Plus, we've braoched this issue once or twice. We're all largely familiar with the discussion.
August 20th, 2010 at 5:28 PM ^
I understand where you guys are coming from, and I'm not offended at all. I was watching the replay of ND/UofM on BTN and still have a deeply seeded hatred of Matt Millen. I have also read 800 posts on Denard being the starter and it became the perfect storm. I don't know how to take MGoBeatdowns, either, so let's hug this out.
Next time I will fabricate a lie through a tweet! /s
August 20th, 2010 at 11:45 PM ^
THIS. There is plenty of gold from the season and I've probably seen a maximum of 30 plays over the course of 10 videos.
August 20th, 2010 at 5:10 PM ^
Fuck Magnus he needs to take a couple weeks off:) Magnus complains about threads and then goes and makes about 20 posts in them, I just don't get that shit.
Magnus opinion is like Franks Red Hot, he puts that shit on everything:)
August 20th, 2010 at 5:20 PM ^
in that it's also GOOD on everything.
August 20th, 2010 at 7:53 PM ^
Some poor girl's vagina disagrees with you.
August 21st, 2010 at 12:03 PM ^
The funny thing is that I wasn't even going to read this thread because it was clearly going to be redundant, but when it got to 40+ comments, I thought there might be something interesting here...
So I opened up the thread only to find my name in 4 or 5 of the comments.
So here's my opinion:
I don't put Frank's Red Hot on anything.

The Millen quote was for Tate against ND
August 20th, 2010 at 5:09 PM ^
By including a picture of Satan.
August 20th, 2010 at 7:14 PM ^
The fact that Millen is assigned to cover any sport in the Michigan market shows how clueless the TV industry is. Plus he cost me a week of giving my girlfriend backrubs after I bet her an angry mob would storm the press box by the middle of the 4th quarter. Stupid apathetic Lions fans, too lazy to even lynch Satan.
August 20th, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
That you happily complied with your girlfriend's order up. This doesn't exactly sound like it was much of a compromise, unless she has saguaro catcus growing on her back.
August 20th, 2010 at 7:34 PM ^
Well she does drink a lot of tequila, but once you get used to the blue agave prickers in your hands you can more forward.

As I was driving home today, I thought I heard Matt Derry (during an update coming from commercial to Valenti/Foster) say that Denard will be the starter against UCONN. Can someone confirm this? Did anyone else hear this?
August 20th, 2010 at 5:13 PM ^
Tweeted that today. Thats where they got it from.
The blind leading the blind...
August 20th, 2010 at 5:14 PM ^
Check the board, there were a couple Tweets to that effect from ESPN personalities, but no actual confirmation.
August 20th, 2010 at 5:28 PM ^
That kid is a studbolt...
August 20th, 2010 at 5:30 PM ^
If Denard were the starter, we would here it from Rich Rod.

When he give commentary that moves into the realm of him evaluating college talent, I want to throw my head through my TV.
August 20th, 2010 at 5:51 PM ^
75% of the posts are repeats our terrible topics. Stuff is reposted because unlike you some of us have lives where we can't constantly check the site, and stuff gets buried. Besides, I'd rather talk about DRob than read a thousand comments on how the seasons doomed because TWolfs out.
August 20th, 2010 at 6:06 PM ^
You just won the Asshole Award for making shit up and pulling numbers out of your ass.
There's been a thread on Denard on the front page of the MGoBoard almost constantly for months now. Read my signature.
August 20th, 2010 at 6:21 PM ^
In response to the comments about Denard being announced the starter, I highly doubt that its more than educated speculation.
RR said that there was going to be a scrimmage in the Big House tomorrow, with that being the first time since the spring game that the players have been in game situations.
I would be very surprised if RR made a final decision before that scrimmage and over 2 weeks prior to kickoff.
I'm guessing that someone inside the program leaked that info based on what they have seen. And although that is telling...its far from definitive.
August 20th, 2010 at 6:23 PM ^
Edit: Removed by me.
August 20th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
If Denard Robinson becomes the starting QB I predict he will be shown on SportsCenter's Top 10 no less than 7 times.
August 20th, 2010 at 7:46 PM ^
I predict the price of Dilithium will skyrocket.
August 20th, 2010 at 7:53 PM ^
If Denard becomes the starter I'm not sure Rodriguez would tell us. We might find out just as he takes field with the offense.
August 20th, 2010 at 8:07 PM ^
If we know anything about RR, its that we won't know who the starter is until Sept. 4th. Why would he let the world know now and let UCONN prepare for it? He's a smart man and knows that it is harder to prepare defensively when you don't know who your opponent's starting QB is going to be. Let's calm down and wait and see. I realize that is easier said than done, but we simply aren't going to know until then.
August 20th, 2010 at 8:42 PM ^
Denard starting against UConn is beginning to make more sense to me. Tate has been "banged up" all spring long and his commitment has been called into question by his own senior teammates. We know Denard has improved his passing and would run the shit out of our offense.
August 20th, 2010 at 11:37 PM ^
Tate has way more experience than Denard. He has had his issues, but I would feel a lot safer with him starting against a decent Uconn team. However, if we see the mediocre Ohio state game version of Forcier by god put denard in.
August 21st, 2010 at 3:42 AM ^
You just finished watching 09 Notre Dame on BTN didn't you. Me too, watching the losses even though they are painful.
Edit: Damn it, if I would have just read the comments first I would have known my input was completely unnecessary.
August 21st, 2010 at 8:41 AM ^
how many people thought that henne would be our starter in the 1st game??? myself and i believe others probably believed all through out fall camp that gutierrez was going to be the starter come game one... and then all of sudden out runs henne to start the game... my point is no one knows who the starter is going to be until rich rod says so or until we see who runs out with the starters for the 1st drive against uconn... these ass fucks in the media are just trying to stir the pot by using 2nd and 3rd hand info or taking what dinardo says seriously... the starter should be whoever gives us the best chance to win...
August 21st, 2010 at 8:49 AM ^
Not to be a nit picking jerk, but Gutierrez was pretty much in the running to be the starter until he suffered an injury. A torn labrum actually. He'd been slated to start the season opener.
August 21st, 2010 at 9:53 AM ^
have stated that a injury changed everything and thats how henne became the starter... but my overall point was that everyone thought it was going to be QB A but it ended up being QB B, injury or not... for myself at the time living in windsor i wasn't "in the know" of everything michigan and i got most of my info from the freep and detnews back then... so when henne walked out there i was freaking out because i thought the season was going down the shitter...
August 21st, 2010 at 11:23 AM ^
Was about himself at the NFL Draft... Pick the year.
August 21st, 2010 at 11:58 AM ^
the board's Lions fans. It is one thing to mention Millen, it is even worse to show an image of him.
That said, if Denard starts every game, I think he will probably have 800 yards rushing with multiple jock-dropping jukes.
