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.

There has to be a MGoShirt idea involving Mike Martin comparisons to Chuck Norris as a subtitle to this picture:
'When Mike Martin does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the Earth down'
August 25th, 2009 at 3:39 PM ^
...should be labeled NSFW. This is practically porn.
Good lord he's terrifying.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:41 PM ^
Martell Webb could have been in this. Unreal picture!
August 25th, 2009 at 3:45 PM ^
Martin pushed a door into me one time on accident. It wasn't like he just opened it either. He threw the door open. We were both about to be late to class. He was hauling ass and just bolted throught the door. I almost fell over.
August 25th, 2009 at 3:47 PM ^
For those too lazy to look it up (or don't have the roster memorized).
From left to right
68 - Mike Martin
25 - Kenny Demens
23 - Floyd Simmons
14 - Teric Jones
15 - Thomas Gordon
73 - Will Campbell
55 - Brandon Graham
62 - Dominique Ware
33 - Boubacar Cissoko
84 - Cameron Gordon
I was going to say that the common thread was that they are all from the East side of the State of Michigan and on Defense. But I know Cameron Gordon is listed as a WR. So yeah, I don't know. Good picture nonetheless.

August 25th, 2009 at 4:07 PM ^
Fixed

Does anyone else get the urge to yell "MARTIN SMASH" after seeing this picture?
Maybe I will have to yell that after every sack he gets this season...
August 25th, 2009 at 4:38 PM ^
image and phrase on a sign and taking it to a game. Mark my words.
August 25th, 2009 at 6:03 PM ^
I'm doing that with "Death Roh" when Craig becomes our pass rush guy.
Maybe when they're both regularly on the field together, we can start calling our defensive line the crab people.
August 25th, 2009 at 9:07 PM ^
craaaab people
August 27th, 2009 at 1:59 PM ^
Don't you remember? The entire defensive line will be called Death Row. And Death Roh will be the leader of Death Row. Confusing but awesome.
August 25th, 2009 at 4:35 PM ^
Cant wait to see Mike Martin go up against Justine.
August 25th, 2009 at 6:31 PM ^
this needs to be put on a t-shirt
August 25th, 2009 at 9:09 PM ^
that's funny.
This picture now graces the center of my Windows desktop.
August 25th, 2009 at 4:23 PM ^
Great post! Martin is a beast.
August 25th, 2009 at 4:32 PM ^
What is neat to see is how little body fat there is on this group of young men as a whole (Will Campbell excepted, but apparently he is shedding his as well). Not only are they big...but they look athletic as well...great picture.
August 25th, 2009 at 4:40 PM ^
Big Will is still only 18. Imagine him in a few years.
August 25th, 2009 at 6:16 PM ^
...but I think that MM is still only 18. In which case, whoa.
August 25th, 2009 at 6:18 PM ^
he's a week away from 19.
August 25th, 2009 at 6:20 PM ^
That is whoa!
August 25th, 2009 at 4:55 PM ^
Somebody find out what will soothe Mike Martin's anger before he destroys us all!
August 25th, 2009 at 5:24 PM ^
"Don't make him angry...you won't like him when he's angry!"
August 27th, 2009 at 2:03 PM ^
Wouldn't it be great to see Martin just smash the shit out of Boren?
August 25th, 2009 at 5:46 PM ^
Another year with Barwis and MM and WC on the line together is a whole lot of human being. That will be pretty exciting.
August 25th, 2009 at 5:58 PM ^
MM craps so big he has to stand up just to get off of it.
August 25th, 2009 at 6:04 PM ^
That's what will happen when you eat steel and shit Buicks. LUXURY Buicks.
August 25th, 2009 at 6:09 PM ^
...of Lou Ferrigno and Grace Jones.
August 25th, 2009 at 6:14 PM ^
Are we certain he's not related to Barwis?
August 25th, 2009 at 7:52 PM ^
Good god his arms are like as big as my legs.
August 25th, 2009 at 8:14 PM ^
One Mike Martin leg should be sent to Afghanistan and the other should be sent to Iraq. Send the troops home. Problem solved.
August 25th, 2009 at 9:18 PM ^
I'm only 5'2'' but I'm sure that even if I were 6'0'' that MM could crush me with one finger.
I like it.
August 25th, 2009 at 9:24 PM ^
Both Big Will and MM are obviously physical freaks, but what about Cam Gorden. He certainly passes the eyeball test.
August 25th, 2009 at 9:59 PM ^
Hey guys, first post, silent lurker for a while. But yeah, the common theme is Detroit, Catholic Central's official name is Novi DETROIT Catholic Central. Inkster is considered Detroit and Kenny Demmen's school is Detroit Country Day School. Thought I'd clarify.
As for MM's size, i played for U of D Jesuit (luckily on defense) and he would do terrible things to our O-Line...horrific things.
Big Will is no slouch either, I went to Cass's Prom and HC and danced right next to him...I'll just say, very light on his feet.
August 25th, 2009 at 10:11 PM ^
...I'll just say, very light on his feet.
Yeah, but can he crip walk?
August 25th, 2009 at 10:18 PM ^
Mike is huge and so is Will. Nice find.
August 25th, 2009 at 11:10 PM ^
That's what she said.
August 25th, 2009 at 10:27 PM ^
This photo was labeled on Rivals as something like "The Detroiters" or "The Detroit Crew" or something like that.
I don't think the photo organizers really cared that Detroit Country Day isn't actually in Detroit. And Inkster (i.e. Cameron Gordon) isn't in Detroit proper, either.
August 25th, 2009 at 11:13 PM ^
Also, I would fuck Mike Martin's shit up. Fuck this "spawn of Lou Ferrigno" shit - I AM Lou Ferrigno.
Fear the Ferrigno.
August 25th, 2009 at 11:14 PM ^
62 Dominique Ware DT 5-7 248 Jr./So. Detroit, Mich. (Inkster)
five seven and 248? well I don't feel so bad about my height and weight anymore, lol
although his body fat % just might be a wee bit lower than mine :)
August 25th, 2009 at 11:22 PM ^
If you're 5'8" and 247, that's not much better.
Go on a diet.
August 25th, 2009 at 11:31 PM ^
Martin is so big...Michigan will get called for too many men on the field whenever he plays.
But it settles the question about GERG's defensive scheme. It will be a four man front. Mike Martin and two defensive ends.
August 25th, 2009 at 11:35 PM ^
Martin is so big that when he sits around the house, he sits around the house.
Martin is so big than his mom has to iron his pants in the driveway.
Martin is so big that his calves are bigger than most people's calves.
Martin is so big that he has to shop in the husky section at JC Penney.
*Also, fuxpert.
August 25th, 2009 at 11:37 PM ^
No more Mountain Dew for you.
August 25th, 2009 at 11:46 PM ^
I will smash your face into a car windshield, and then take your mother out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again.
August 26th, 2009 at 12:19 AM ^
Dorothy Mantooth is a saint!
August 26th, 2009 at 1:29 AM ^
I downvoted you for that, for needing some restraint. I know it was all teed up there and waiting to get hit out of the park, but only one user should have done it. You are not that user.
August 25th, 2009 at 11:40 PM ^
In your fuxpert opinion, would this joke be acceptable?
Martin is so big his calves have their own congressman.
