Any Michigan fluff is interesting to me today so I thought I would share this interview. It's not often that Scout produces free articles so enjoy.

EDIT: Found this article on Rivals as well. RR answers some questions.

Junior Hemingway: “No
This is the best...
...quote IME:
Question: It’s funny that everybody loves Denard (Robinson) nationally, but they will talk about the three best teams in the Big Ten and (not talk about Michigan). Do you think finally they are going to say, uh oh, Michigan is 5-0?
Junior Hemingway: “I don’t think so. There is a lot of people out there that are still waiting for us to fall off. Waiting to see when it is going to break down. We don’t even pay any attention. We just keep moving on. That’s what we do. We don’t even think about it. We come out every Saturday and play.”
Love the attitude. RichRod and the coaches are filling their heads with the right thoughts. Great interview.

This is how to roll
In my opinion, this is the best way to think about a season. Everyone definitely is waiting to see a loss, especially after the past two difficult years. So you just go out there one weekend at a time and prove them wrong each week. Fly under the radar as a team (Denard isn't but the team still is) and just win.
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
That was my fav too
But it's a shame a ton of the people that are just waiting for the team to fall seem to post on this board even after wins.
There are no corners in space.
td's left on the field...
RR talking about the offense:
"Denard looked like he had pretty good numbers again, but we'll look back and it will be 'golly, we had two or three other touchdowns we left on the field.'"
That gives me chills!
I hope Rodriguez
never loses that southern twang. I love it when he says, "Golly".
Jr.
I was really impressed with how well he played yesterday. On TV the announcers made a big deal about how great the throw was Denard made (which was actually way underthrown due to the man in his face). Hemingway made a huge catch and went and got that ball. I was impressed. Without that play who knows how that game owuld have finished. I didn't think he got enough credit for a great play.
I loved his awareness on the
I loved his awareness on the stiff arm to the DB covering him. I concur with Coach Rod on his skills, I hope he sees at least 5 passes next Saturday.
he got a LOT of credit for it
on the radio. still haven't seen the play
He would've been praised for
He would've been praised for the catch, but Pam Ward didn't know his name. She only had time to learn a couple players' names, give her a break.

As a whole I think
As a whole I think our receivers don't get enough credit. Maybe it's because we play a run heavy spread and shred but Stonum, Odoms, Roundtree and Hemingway are all very good wideouts. I can't think of another offense that has this many good receivers.Yes, Indiana has some good receivers, Doss particularly but I wouldn't trade ours for theirs. Plus when you add Koger into the mix it's ridiculous the talent we have. The best part about all of this is everyone of those players should be back next year too! Look out!
HAIL TO THE VICTORS VALIANT, HAIL TO THE CONQUERING HEROES!
It's not just the hands either
our WR do all the little things well, blocking, selling fakes, getting open on broken plays. Just imagine what this offense can do when everyone is executing right on every play. Sure there will always be errors, but the coaches and players keep saying there is still room for improvement. Opposing defenses should be scared.
Odoms
is a goddamn beast of a blocker. Just throwing it out there.
Hemingway's averaging 31.7 yards per catch right now. Lock up the Biletnikoff! :)
good for junior
in my ncaa 11 dynasty he was a Belitnikoff finalist for the 2010 season...hopefully he can stay healthy and continue to "Moss" (thats a verb) people

JR
definitely had a career day and I'm very happy for him. After all the injuries and the drop last game he deserved this one. You the man JR.
I love how our
WRs seem to all take turns contributing with catches, and how very good of blockers they are all becoming. Best thing is, we get all 4 of them back with a bunch of others filling out depth and lots of freshman. I feel good about this WR corp.

WR's don't get much credit
because Michigan does a nice job of distributing the ball around.
That was an "outside receiver play"...
I know Junior's not prototype in terms of height, but he has an inch or two and 25+ pounds on any other receiver. That ability to outmaneuver a DB in a jump ball situation is a great outside receiver skill.
Not that others couldn't do it on occasion, it's just harder due to their size. If we ever get some legit SIZED outside receivers (hello, Mr Conway, please keep eating now....) I'll think we see more of this on deeper routes. That is why I think Brian said he'd straight up trade WRs with Indiana.
The reason for the world, is to make us long for HOME.
Interesting that they had Martin
play a little DE, where he was productive.
Does that exceed NCAA regulations?
