Here is what I imagine will happen for The Game
Tomorrow, Brady Hoke makes an announcement: '#16 will not be playing in Saturday's game'. A flurry of questions from the media are flying, rumors go crazy: WHY!?
TSIO rejoices and quickly changes all of their defensive game planning and works overtime to prepare accordingly.
It is The Game. The first offensive series happens for Michigan and we see Gardner takes the first snap. It's a power run to Fitz, as he takes it 5 yards on first down. The crowd is shocked. TSIO feels relieved.
But what's this? A new lineup we haven't seen before. Who is that coming into the game? A #1 trots out onto the field lined up in the backfield. It is a direct snap to #1 and he charges the line for a run, but instead drops back, and throws it spot-on downfield, in-stride, to a galloping Hemingway.
Michigan's first Six. That #1 is none other than Mr. Denard Robinson.
Huge.

Heroin is a hell of a drug.
November 25th, 2011 at 10:38 AM ^
Don't follow the rabbit.
November 24th, 2011 at 11:57 PM ^
#1 is for wideouts only, RichRod /s
November 25th, 2011 at 12:08 AM ^
and so it might qualify in Wacky Wolverine dream land.
My own weirdest? The night before the Notre Dame game, I dreamed that a tarp was placed on the field and the game delayed due to Moon Gas® detected on the field.
WTF is Moon Gas®?
November 25th, 2011 at 11:04 AM ^
Well, that is still in line with what some people believe -- Denard is a WR taking snaps and not a true QB (fyi, I am not one of them).
November 25th, 2011 at 12:00 AM ^
Call me crazy, but I actually don't think that will happen.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:17 AM ^
I failed to mention after this play, Denard plays the remainder of the game. The first series was just a ruse...all of this in Wacky Wolverineland.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:00 AM ^
What made you think this little brainstorm was thread-worthy?
November 25th, 2011 at 12:00 AM ^
YOU JUST BLEW IT.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:00 AM ^
I'm not drunk....but I'm very confused
November 25th, 2011 at 12:01 AM ^
Someone had a little bit too much to drink at dinner tonight.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:10 AM ^
I had nothing to drink last night, and its 6am in Denmark - preparing for work today. I sadly had no Thanksgiving and I'm thousands of miles away from family. So no, I am of sound mind.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:27 AM ^
I'm not so sure about the "of sound mind " part though.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:33 AM ^
This comment made me sad. :/
November 25th, 2011 at 1:09 AM ^
have a drink...you'll feel better
November 25th, 2011 at 6:36 AM ^
I think a previous bout of drinking may have gotten us to this thread.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:01 AM ^
Read the first line and my first thought was "This is not an anti-jinx?"
November 25th, 2011 at 12:04 AM ^
DEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP
November 25th, 2011 at 12:05 AM ^
Enlighten me, wtf was in that turkey you ate today?
November 25th, 2011 at 12:05 AM ^
I'll tell you what's going to happen:
OSU is going to announce Urban as the next head coach about 30 minutes before kickoff.
UofM will put on an ass whooping and win by 20 points, but all we'll hear about is Urban during and after the game.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:09 AM ^
Speaking of, who's calling the game?
November 25th, 2011 at 12:17 AM ^
Dave Pasch, Chris Spielman & Quint Kessenich
November 25th, 2011 at 1:56 AM ^
Brent Musberger, please.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:07 AM ^
Do not drink, watch D2, and think about The Game. That is all.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:08 AM ^
What! It would be amazing. #1 is the best offensive player while #2 is reserved for the best defensive player, right?
November 25th, 2011 at 12:08 AM ^
Epic saga Luke!
November 25th, 2011 at 12:10 AM ^
According to some Norte dame fans, urban Meyer will be announced as their new HC, and hoke as the D-line coach. Not to mention Aaron Rogers as their qb coach. #delusional
November 25th, 2011 at 12:21 AM ^
Speaking of delusional and Notre Dame, did anyone hear Lou's speech on ESPN tonight?
November 25th, 2011 at 12:14 AM ^
I think Denard prefers his #16
November 25th, 2011 at 12:14 AM ^
Why can't this thread become where our imagination takes hold, and we imagine what The Game will be like?
Imagine this: Hagerup goes into punt for the first time all game. Instead it's a fake! He goes to pass and it gets tipped at the line, Hagerup recovers the ball in mid-air and he runs it in for a Six. Hagerup 1/1 pass for 75 yards and a TD. Hagerup 1 reception for 75 yards and a TD.
November 25th, 2011 at 7:56 AM ^
Because this is MGoBlog, not a choose-your-own-adventure novel...
<br>
November 25th, 2011 at 10:32 AM ^
We have had to listen to people calling for Gardner to replace Denard at QB. Just imagine having to listen to people calling for Hagerup running our offense from the super shotgun formation. I can see the meltdown now.
<br>
November 25th, 2011 at 12:20 AM ^
Not my chair, not my problem. That's what I always say.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:21 AM ^
out on a limb here and say this will not happen. #1 will be given to Stonum next year as the 2nd "Legends" jersey followed by #2 in 2013.
Meyer will get all the buzz and steal our thunder. Thats ok. Ten Year War Duex.
Bring it.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:25 AM ^
Who do you think will get the coveted #2?
November 25th, 2011 at 12:27 AM ^
without a doubt.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:31 AM ^
Agreed
November 25th, 2011 at 3:55 AM ^
Meyer won't be there for 10 years if he even takes the job in the first place.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:25 AM ^
Guys, let's have fun. Where is your imagination?
November 25th, 2011 at 12:32 AM ^
I imagine this thread is not going to end well.
November 25th, 2011 at 1:12 AM ^
have some egg nog...
November 25th, 2011 at 6:38 AM ^
Someone will have to go to the store for more if we're going to make meaningful egg nog.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:25 AM ^
November 25th, 2011 at 12:25 AM ^
OK I'll get in the spirit.
Brady Hoke comes out and says, "Toussaint isn't playing this Saturday" and Ohio is all like "whatever." So Hoke goes out and digs up old Tom Harmon's bones and reanimates them, and claims he has a year of eligibility left. Zombie Tom Harmon proceeds to score seven rushing touchdowns and 4 passing touchdowns and punts 3 times for an average of 97 yards.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:26 AM ^
LOL YES! This is what I'm talking about.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:36 AM ^
are an evil spirit from another land. I bid you and your curse farewell.
November 25th, 2011 at 7:35 AM ^
.....with Spock sacrificing himself so that the Big House can warp away from Reliant before the Genesis Device explodes.
November 25th, 2011 at 12:26 AM ^
You're crazy. I like you man ... but you're crazy.
