More proof that Mike Martin is related to the Incredible Hulk:
Good lord; dude eats the souls of lesser men. Or he eats steel for breakfast and shits out fully-assembled Buicks before lunch.
In the spirit of the "bold predictions" thread, I'm also going to say that I fully expect an Alan Branch-esque year out of MM by the end of his career at Michigan.

Warning to other QB's: Do not end up like Anthony Morelli. Stay out of the way of #68. Big Will isn't far behind. Watch out in the years to come, as we will be coming for teams 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string QB's.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:47 PM ^
There is nothing else to say
August 25th, 2009 at 3:20 PM ^
Look at his calves. He looks like he wants to eat your first born.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:23 PM ^
it looks like he's already feasted on first-born, second-born, third-born, all the cattle in the barn, and all the corn in the field.
August 25th, 2009 at 4:43 PM ^
Is that sad,or awesome?? I feel like a girly man now
August 25th, 2009 at 3:20 PM ^
most of mgoboard with his bare hands.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:29 PM ^
I dare you to find someone on this board he couldn't kill with his bare hands. Unless Mike Martin himself is on this board, I don't think it's possible.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:37 PM ^
Brian looks pretty scrappy.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:45 PM ^
i bet he could kill himself with his bare hands....or is he too strong for himself?
August 25th, 2009 at 3:53 PM ^
Yeah, that's what I mean. I don't know if he could, but he's the only one that would have a chance at it.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:58 PM ^
What happens when the unstoppable force meets uh, the unstoppable force?
By their powers combined, Captain Planet Eater!

One negative point machine of a post wasn't enough?
August 26th, 2009 at 4:18 PM ^
Why does this deserve negative points?
We got Lou Dobbs on here worried that the implication is Jesus is Mexican?
I mean, it's not that funny, but I gave it a +1 for fairness' sake.
EDIT: Nevermind, it seems that Jesus has been making multiple accounts and negging those who would make flippant comments re: Him and burritos. He did it to me, too.
Sorry, J-Dog.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:21 PM ^
His calves are so big that I can't even come up with an appropriate quip.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:28 PM ^
Those aren't calves, they're pure-bred bulls.
August 25th, 2009 at 4:15 PM ^
Just as much of the MGoBoard has cankles, MM has thilves.
August 25th, 2009 at 4:40 PM ^
Those babies are too big even for Johny Drama...

August 25th, 2009 at 10:09 PM ^
I despise you for making me read that and look at those pictures
August 25th, 2009 at 3:24 PM ^
That is terrifying.
P.S. - Looks like Big Will is taking a page from Denard's Book (shoes).
August 25th, 2009 at 3:28 PM ^
Martin's were tied until he flexed out of them. Yes, he can in fact flex his foot.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:24 PM ^
if I didn't know better I'd say he was scaled to look bigger. Fisheye lense? He *is* 4 yards closer, but still. Jesus.
also, #62? Who is that (RVB?) and why are his biceps the size of full hams?
August 25th, 2009 at 3:28 PM ^
I"m going to guess that #62 is Dominique Ware, a 5'7" defensive tackle. RVB is number #53, and decidedly way too tall, and pale, to be #62.
This looks like a "All in For Detroit" picture to me.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:29 PM ^
Well, that was the caption on the original site I took it from, but considering Mike Martin went to Novi CC and Demens went to Birmingham Country Day, I'm not sure that'd be that accurate.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:36 PM ^
Jon Conover went to CC.
I wonder why they left him out...
August 25th, 2009 at 3:30 PM ^
this was posted on rivals the other day by someone who knows the photographer. here's the link to his site:
http://maxcollins.wordpress.com/2009/08/24/michigan-football-media-day/
He has a cool photo of the Pahokee guys too.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:44 PM ^
I was wondering what non-slot receiver could possibly make Cissoko look tall.
August 25th, 2009 at 4:01 PM ^
I'll feel a little better knowing that if our 5'7" DT gets in the game he's bringing those pipes with him.
August 25th, 2009 at 5:51 PM ^
Let's elaborate, RVB is a tall white guy, not a midget black guy. There is no way we should be confusing them.
August 25th, 2009 at 5:54 PM ^
I just haven't actually paid close enough attn to the line to know when he's on the field. I watch the secondary...
August 25th, 2009 at 8:14 PM ^
I would definitely say there is a little bit of fish eye lens going on here. Lets face it, he looks bigger than Big Will and look significantly taller than any other 6'2" guy in the picture.
That being said....
OMG -he doesn't need to be- Shirtless
August 25th, 2009 at 3:26 PM ^
we'd scare people into a National Championship. Too bad it doesn't work that way.
August 25th, 2009 at 4:08 PM ^
a couple hundred words, at least.
August 25th, 2009 at 8:44 PM ^
Darned recession is driving down the value of everything, even pictures.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:27 PM ^
Also, as a side note, whenever I see Mike Martin, this quote from one, Brian Cook, always pops into my head:
...Martin's usually listed at 280 and is obviously way more advanced in the tao of weightroom than 99% of high schoolers: there's a chance he's just not going to get any bigger...
http://mgoblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/2008-recruiting-linebackers-and.html
Good to see that was wrong.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:16 PM ^
According to Countdown to Kickoff, Martin gained 27 pounds this off season.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:55 PM ^
For the non-math majors, this picture is also proof that (14+15+33) 68.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:33 PM ^
He even LOOKS a little like Lou Ferrigno. That's crazy.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:33 PM ^
Best I can come up with is that they all attended school in Detroit or in the Detroit area.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:40 PM ^
Maybe in the Detroit area. Martin went to Detroit Catholic Central, but it's in Novi. The scary thing is he could be a freshman this year. He was a year ahead in school.
August 25th, 2009 at 4:31 PM ^
He does kind of look like a Monchichi, but on a lot of steroids.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:34 PM ^
He's got small arms.
August 25th, 2009 at 10:56 PM ^
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is sarcasm. If this is part of a negbang, though, I'll be on my way.
August 25th, 2009 at 11:09 PM ^
I believe R_Mahorn is currently in the process of getting negbanged until he passes out and can't feel his abacus anymore.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:34 PM ^
That photo looks like the end of the world
A post-apocalyptic abyss brought about by the Michigan defensive line.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:35 PM ^
Im pretty sure Chuck Norris just pooped his pants
