Mike Martin is an Animal
I found this article on rivals about Mike Martin. He has a couple good quotes in there that gave me a quick laugh.Also any quotes about Sparty hating seem to be good for this week.
"O-Linemen, they're good at patty-caking out there, blocking a little bit, but D-Line, you have to be ready to hit and lay the wood on someone."
"Mike Martin is just an animal out there," sophomore linebacker Craig Roh said. "He's the strongest person I've ever seen in the weight room. It's really showing on the field. He's taking on double teams. Against UMass, I think the play he sacked the quarterback, he beat a double team and sacked him. Which is just stupid."
"I love the fact that they're undefeated," Martin said. "That just makes this game even bigger. I think it ensures that we're going to get their best on Saturday. I wouldn't want it any other way. I want their best, and I'm sure they want our best, so both teams are going to play as hard as they can."
He added, with a smile, "I never really liked the color green, so I can wait to play for our team to get ready to go."

No question.. Great quotes and very expected from a guy of his caliber.. He beat a double team in the IU game if i recall on a run play and took him down in the backfield.. i think i prolly watched it 6 times.

Love that guy, looking forward to Beastmode saturday. Am I the only one that expected this thread to reveal evidence that Mike Martin's real father was a grizzly bear?

guys that have to play opposite him.

That Mike is our best pro prospect for the next two seasons. He posessses such a unique skill set for a pro 3-4 DE, he is ideal for it. Imagine him as a defensive end for the Steelers, Broncos or Packers. He's going to blow up in the NFL guaranteed.

...it reminds me of Steve Buscemi. I do not know why.

The scary thing is that he's not wearing any pads in this picture!

Are you insinuating that others are creating threads about things that have nothing to do with the team this year and that people are discussing players that are not on the 2010 team? No offense, but I think everyone in the MGoCommunity knows that Mike Martin is an animal. While I appreciate you sharing the quotes, I do not appreciate your holier-than-thou attitude.

I will edit accordingly to make me not seem like a self richeous person, because that's not me at all.

Thanks for the clarification - its all good.

No one likes a self-richeous person. Self-poorous is okay, and self-middle classeous is even desireable, but self-richeous . . . intolerable.

One of the MGoBlog entries I re-google with frequency is the "Jesus Christ Get In The Car It's Mike Martin." I never fail to find that funny.

While I am waiting for a defense to rival our offense, it is nice of RR to bring us players like Martin. I don't like to compare Michigan teams or players, but damn, I like this team.

Molk and Martin r my two favorite players

Martin has an unbelievable work ethic. I love that on top of all of his football and school related activities, he has maintained a part-time job at Conor O'Neils in order to make some extra money.

Before the game, foaming at the mouth, pointing to his coat...."AND THEY DON'T RESPECT YOUR COLORS!!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT??????"
