Just finished bowling with Denard Robinson! PIC now posted!
Guys, I just had an awesome evening! My wife and I both graduated from UM and my wife is an auditor for UM. She has a yearly bowling outing, and guess who walks in?? Denard Robinson! I will tell you guys that I have been around a fair amount of Michigan football players, and this kid is a class act and will make us proud one day. I was trying not to be too excited and didn't approach him, but he actually came over and introduced himself to me. Since he broke the ice, I asked if he would take a picture with my son, and he did! By the way, he is a great bowler.. Great kid, and will go very far in life.
What did he bowl?
I was half way watching the boston game, but I did notice it was in the 200's.. However, it was one of those weird games where 9 pins is a stike.. So this may not be too accurate
He did a phenomenal job of running up to the line, but for some reason, he often threw the ball into the wrong lane.
Sports brother of Tacopants
I guessed correctly, what do I win?
about putting fingers in holes for luck.
I'd look for it myself, but I hear the weather in Boivian is inclement this time of year.
Cool Story Bro.... I love this kid, forget "Make us proud one day," Denard has already made me proud as a UM fan, but I have no doubt that he will continue to do so as a senior and as a Michigan Man after his college career
Is it just me or does Denards "celebrity" status go beyond just being the QB at Michigan? I happened to be in a suite at the Palace next to one Henne was in his senior year and got a chance to chat with him for 15 minutes. Great kid by the way. Anyways it didn't seem like that big a deal to me and I didn't even bother taking a photo. I would be much more excited to get the same opportunity with Denard.
Here's some evidence (posted on MGB at some point in the past) that he's national:
Does that count? Juwan is a Wolverine himself, so he probably follows the football team.
And it's at a local sports arena. This pictures fails on all criteria. Good day, sir.
So... does he bowl with his laces tied?
His laces were actually untied! I did look at that. I need to know how to post this pic, someone help me please!!

It looks like your kid may have wet himself with excitement.
Fact: I would have as well.
AAAAWWWWWWWWW, He looks like a mini Obama. Cute kid.
Maybe but to me he is more like a little Tiger Woods....he looks like Tiger's mini-me sitting on Denard's lap...
and yeah that is a great photo!
Size is great, but more importantly, how is his pad level and technique?
Not great, yet. Early reports show him being lifted right off the ground in drills by a somewhat undersized quarterback. I think he needs some time to mature & improve his technique, but he'll get there.
Does your son understand how cool this picture and meeting was? I know a 6-13 year old would have been speechless, but I think it might go over a 3 year olds head. Then again, Denard appeals to all ages. In either case your family is gonna love this photo for many years.
Especially with the red shirt
Clearly photoshop.
I mean, that doesn't even look real at all...
I mean, so what if you met Denard Robinson...
Jealous? Me? Who's jealous?
No...I'm not crying, I'm just happy for you.
Cool story bro (for real). And great pic. Denard is a class act all the way. TRUE MICHIGAN MAN.
Cool story indeed. Loved it. What a great random Friday night gift your family received!
That photo is so fake.
Forget your Kid.. I would have been in that pic in a heartbeat.. He is one of my favorite players of all time at michigan..He shows grace and humility when he could easily big time it.. From the Basketball games, to helping the State thugs ( gholston) up after each play, to never taking the credit and praising the team... He is truly someone to admire
He loves him some Denard.
The best part is that because of Denard's luminescent smile your camera's auto-flash failed to trigger.
that pic deserves a quadruple point.
Your son just got posterized.
(In a totally awesome way)
Even as a rival it is hard for me to not Denard. Kid seems like an awesome character...
As a Walmart Wolverine, Denard bowling makes me extra proud.
