Q&A With Vlad
Just noticed this on TomVH's twitter. Apparently Vlad is answering questions from people. Some funny stuff on there. Nothing super informative, but cool either way.

I don't know why but this part bothered me:
Hey Vlad, Just curious, did a lingering injury keep you off the field last year? Did it affect your play? A lot of us expected to see more of you and that was the rumor. I'm looking forward to seeing you play next year. Thanks for making Blue proud!
to be honest i dont know why i wasnt playing... my coach told me he felt i wasnt ready yet
With the state of our safety play in 09...this one left me a little unsettled

He didn't get a redshirt either, which is more unsettling.
January 28th, 2010 at 2:57 PM ^
Don't be. It's what 95% of freshman should hear from their coaches.
January 28th, 2010 at 1:57 PM ^
I also thought it was interesting when he replied to a question that he wasn't sure about the recruitment of Parker but thought we had a decent shot at Dorsey.
January 28th, 2010 at 2:00 PM ^
wow he responds quickly.
January 28th, 2010 at 2:10 PM ^
everytime I see that avatar of chris farley in that bus...what a hilarious scene. Thanks Nerd.

I like the one where somebody asked whether Barwis has ever brought his wolves to practice. Nice.
January 28th, 2010 at 2:36 PM ^
along with the mike barwis vs. chuck norris question
January 28th, 2010 at 2:37 PM ^
I'm just glad I was not drinking anything when I read those questions. Well-played.
January 28th, 2010 at 2:37 PM ^
adam patterson probably.
January 28th, 2010 at 2:28 PM ^
Looks like he stopped now.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:06 PM ^
From a current, not anonymous player...
"alright for real, did yall go over the workout limit hours? i don't think so, just a bunch of reporters trying to raise some trouble.
hell naw we didnt"
Nice quote Vlad!

I find it interesting that he seems to admit the defense last year was lacking a few key pieces. He then also says he thinks we'll have those pieces next year and will be a better unit.
Also, like I have told friends and said on this board, we need attitude on defense. BG had it, DW had it, and hopefully he and the rest of the youngsters can conjure up their inner-Woodson. Like he said "we need swag".

When asked of his thoughts on mgoblog, Vlad had this to say
"its ok inaccurate but its ok."
I'm just suprised he ever visited mgoblog.

Why? This is the most popular Michigan sports blog by a mile and a half, and it's not like these kids don't use the internet.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:01 PM ^
I'm not sure why you are getting negged for that comment, but the "these kids" reference makes you sound like an "old" guy with unwanted kids on your porch--which I guess could make you a contemporary of mine.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:15 PM ^
I think I was negged because people just don't want to accept the fact that 19 year old football players Google themselves and read what people say about them.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:13 AM ^
Sadly, and probably not surprisingly, you can no longer ask Vlad Emelien anything.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:23 AM ^
"Hey, can't you say anything?"
"No, he no say nothin'. All the time he no say nothing. I aska 'im to find out some stuff, and he no find out. Now 'ow am I gonna find out what I wanna find out if he no find out what I gotta find out!"
January 29th, 2010 at 3:04 PM ^
Looks like he got spooked by the Freep scoping him out. He deleted his Formspring.me account. I wonder if the coaches told him to?
January 29th, 2010 at 3:06 PM ^
My first double post. I gasped in horror when I clicked the send button for a second time out of frustration, and I realized what my impatience had just led to.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:57 PM ^
Wow, if I had known the Free-P was just going to copy and paste his Q&A, I wouldn't have asked him if he donkey punched any girls at Michigan.
