OTish: Question to anyone in maize rage
As I may have mentioned in previous posts I am from Maryland and currently a junior at Michigan. Currently there is a student manager for the maryland basketball by the name of zach. He has dealt with brain cancer since middle school with his most recent brain surgery occuring on january 25th. While in the hospital he took a picture in a pose that has become known as zaching. He is an inspirational story and there is currently a blog where people post pictures of themselves zaching and it has now spread outside the Maryland community. The reason I am posting this is because I think it would be cool if the maize rage got the students to 'zach' during college gameday, I'll be there but don't really have any influence. I am posting the link to the blog and if anybody has any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

This is a great idea. I'm in the Maize Rage, too. Let's make this happen.

Here's half?
edit: Great idea, sure the maize rage can make it happen.

I'd also settle for an email to someone who could set this up, just kinda figured maize rage people read the blog. Also just some notable people who have done it outside of pretty much everybody associated with MD is scott van pelt, dane cook, tom izzo, monte ball, etc. so it would be nice to get some michigan love too.

This is cool, and I hope it works out. I'm just curious... I went to the blog, and it's not obvious to me whether those people were "zaching" in response to a request for support for Zach or if someone just did a Google image search for people flexing their biceps.

All the pictures are from people who sent a picture to the blog, not random. I realize the blog isn't set up the best but the first post has his story and an email to send pictures to with zaching. A bunch of the celebrities have done it with twitter by tweeting at him or using #zaching. If you search right now jon carrlson from the capitals just did it.

Oh, that's awesome. Thanks for the clarification and good luck with this.

We will do our best to make this happen, just tweeted out about it.
February 16th, 2012 at 11:28 PM ^
Thanks for the support

I'm in the maize rage and I'll be there bright and early Saturday morning. I'll make sure to try and spread the word to everyone I know. Hopefully we can make this happen, because this would be great.

I'd feel weird posting someone's contact info, however you can view the maize rage officers here:

They don't have contact info listed, however if you were so inclined, you could look up their names in the directory here:

Also, their official twitter is UMMaizeRage

You could also try asking Dylan @ UMhoops.com to post something about it, I bet a lot of Maize Ragers go over there. Great idea, BTW, I'm also originally from Maryland (UM '08), I would be happy to support a fellow Maryland-Wolverine!
