SI Preseason All-Big Ten Team
Congratulations to Denard Robinson and Mike Martin on making the team. You couldn't find two more quality men to respresent our program.

marquee season

Congrats to Denard and MM, but I would have liked to see Molk at center.
August 17th, 2011 at 7:08 PM ^
Surprised me too. Although I was also surprised to see MM on there. Just simply because he usually flied under the radar with the media.
August 17th, 2011 at 4:19 PM ^
HOW IS NATHAN BRINK NOT ON THAT LIST?
I call shenanigans.
August 17th, 2011 at 7:10 PM ^
SI seems to suck when it comes to CFB. I really do not think they know what they are talking about half the time.
August 17th, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
...might want to check with the women he brings back to his condo...
August 17th, 2011 at 4:58 PM ^
"-scorned boyfriend of a woman Mike Martin brought back to his condo"
Found it!
August 17th, 2011 at 5:53 PM ^
He wants to have sex with them?
Oh the fucking shock of it all!
August 17th, 2011 at 6:07 PM ^
College students fornicating!?!?!?!?!?!?! Someone call Mary Sue Coleman!
August 17th, 2011 at 6:19 PM ^
Someone sounds sexually frustrated
August 17th, 2011 at 6:19 PM ^
Someone sounds sexually frustrated
August 17th, 2011 at 9:16 PM ^
what?!?! One of the best players in one of the best football conferences in the country has short term relations with women? Never have I ever heard of such a scandal! I hope the quality journalist organization the Detroit Free Press is already hard at work getting the scoop on this!
August 17th, 2011 at 9:30 PM ^
He respected you?
August 17th, 2011 at 5:21 PM ^
How is Roy Roundtree not on the list?
August 17th, 2011 at 6:53 PM ^
Because it's not a preseason All-B1G "Show Flashes of Awesome But Also Have Lots of Drops" list or "The Sight of Which Causes Danny Hope to Sprout Angry New Mustaches in Random Places on His Body" list.
August 17th, 2011 at 7:28 PM ^
I'm not saying Roundtree's the best in the B1G but he had more yards, higher avg. per catch, and more TDs than Belcher.
August 17th, 2011 at 5:24 PM ^
Kirk Cousins AKA Tim Tebow minus the talent must be sulking somehwere.
August 17th, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
Jeremy Ebert from NW is getting tossed around by a Wiscy defender. Doesn't look very all-conference-y (ish?)
Trenton Robinson looks like he's getting punched in the face by McElroy
And Joel Foreman is mushy
August 17th, 2011 at 6:06 PM ^
This may be childish, but I found it really funny that the picture they chose for Trenton Robinson was him getting destroyed by Greg Mclroy, and Julio Jones running right by him for the TD.
August 17th, 2011 at 6:09 PM ^
Checking Spartan Tailgate now for the Jerel Worthy outrage.
August 17th, 2011 at 7:00 PM ^
They should be happy, even without Worthy and Cousins, SI still put four Sparties on the first team (Baker, Foreman, Robinson, and Martin).
August 17th, 2011 at 8:04 PM ^
Nice photos, but those articles you have to click through just to view a list bug me.
August 17th, 2011 at 11:48 PM ^
Congratulations to Michael Shaw for making it into one of the All Big Ten player pictures.
August 18th, 2011 at 2:17 AM ^
I like this

For all the high quality things we've read about Denard Robinson over and over and over again, it's interesting that a senior like Mike Martin - who's been around for longer and started for longer - doesn't get the same kind of fawning publicity. Mike Martin is a good football player. Let's not assume that all good football players are quality dudes, though.
August 18th, 2011 at 10:36 AM ^
I do not claim to know each and every move of these players nor do I want to know. I was commenting on the general perception of them as players and quality men through stories and interviews. I don't know of very many college athletes that already have foundations to work in inner city neighborhoods like Martin. I know public perception and reality don't always mesh but I'd like to assume they are quality guys until they show otherwise. Maybe I'm just a Michigan homer though.
