OMG Football Player Snowball Fight
Just saw Denard get chased down by a dude with a snowball in the South Quad basement.
Denard and 2 other guys came into the basement, and Denard says to them 'he's coming, we have to get out of here'. A fourth guy (may have been another player - looked kind of like Roh perhaps?) comes running in with a snowball. Denard and Co. book it through the opposite door, and he chases, and then books it back the other direction 30 seconds later without a snowball.
No reports as to whether or not he scored a hit.
[Edit: was told to make the name more exciting.]

My friend is studying in SQ right now and just informed me he saw DeathRoh chase Shoelace through the SQuad basement wielding about 3 snowballs... apparently it is on!Good job on Roh.
December 8th, 2009 at 11:00 PM ^
Hope Shoelace wasn't picked off...or caught by Roh.
December 8th, 2009 at 11:01 PM ^
My guess is no.
December 8th, 2009 at 11:03 PM ^
If you must know...

SOCKS WITH SANDALS:
For when you feel the need to make your aversion to shoelaces abundantly clear.

Somewhere Matt Millen shot out of his sleep. "Something is wrong on this night..."
December 9th, 2009 at 10:36 AM ^
I had no idea he was a German tourist.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:18 AM ^
I saw Denard today at cc little. My first instinct was to check if his shoe laces were tied. He was wearing slip-ons. While it was snowing. I guess the dude really does hate shoelaces.
December 8th, 2009 at 11:01 PM ^
Love to see team unity and fun...the more the young guys like each other, the more positive the future will likely be.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:57 AM ^
to believe that the defense would fall behind a qb draw? that there was blown coverage and the qb was able to escape untouched? i wouldn't be surprised if robinson scored immediately after this incident.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:06 AM ^
No sightings of girls in the group, but it is possible that he made a pass on one while he was scrambling and scored.

"Michigan football players instigate violent on-campus brawl with unsuspecting students"

"...during an excessively long defensive drill"
December 8th, 2009 at 11:24 PM ^
"... involving crystalline dihydrogen monoxide, one of the most dangerous substances known to man."
December 8th, 2009 at 11:25 PM ^
Dude, that stuff is seriously deadly. It only takes one lungful to kill.
December 9th, 2009 at 9:34 AM ^
But just a splash of it in my scotch makes it taste oh so good.

"Former and/or current assistant coaches may or may not have been present for the fight."

of them were disguised wearing hats, gloves, mittens and ski masks. . .

"...Coach Rich Rod was unavailable for comment, but the University Board of Regents and the NCAA were notified by this reporter, and NCAA sactions are certainly imminent. Michigan will be joining the coach search soon..."
December 8th, 2009 at 11:05 PM ^
Roh chases QBs. This is not a surprise.
December 8th, 2009 at 11:10 PM ^
I really hope Denard is wearing his Non-Contact red winter coat... It'd be nice to have Bootlaces healthy for next year.
December 8th, 2009 at 11:16 PM ^
...After Roh released the snowball, Denard turned on the after burners and the snowball melted.
December 9th, 2009 at 11:35 AM ^
I was wondering if he ran fast enough to stop time then ran around to catch it before it was released.
December 8th, 2009 at 11:24 PM ^
extra denard v roh chase drill practice, a snowball FIGHT in the dorms...this has bad publicity all over it. on a related note, the police blocked off hill/state because a bus got stuck and theres a snowball fight off of the roof of quickie burger...epic night
December 8th, 2009 at 11:43 PM ^
Has Roh, coming from AZ, ever seen snow before? Have any of the Pahokee kids seen snow?
December 8th, 2009 at 11:47 PM ^
Didn't D-Rob visit during a snowy game last year?
December 9th, 2009 at 12:09 AM ^
Roh has family in Michigan.
Edit: I guess this doesn't guarantee he's seen snow. But if he ever visited Michigan in the winter months I'm sure snow would have been on the ground.
December 9th, 2009 at 12:11 AM ^
I remember reading a story about Denard coming up for his official visit last year, and it was the first time he ever had seen snow. I believe at the end of the article it said that he liked it so much that he actually tried to bring a bag of snow back to Florida with him
December 9th, 2009 at 12:19 AM ^
Hopefully it was less than 3.5 ounces or TSA would have bagged him for carrying an unknown liquid. Can you imagine the Freep article?
"U of M commit attempts to hijack airplane with dangerous dihydrogen monoxide." It would have talked about how Dantonio only recruits good kids who get in normal roughhousing trouble.
December 8th, 2009 at 11:48 PM ^
It couldn't possibly have been Denard that you saw, he's too fast to be observable by the naked eye. Perhaps it was Hemingway?
December 8th, 2009 at 11:48 PM ^
...West Quad vs. South Quad snowball fight on for tomorrow? I remember them well in 88-89 and 89-90. South Quad usually smokes West, but in 89-90 West had the baseball players and you can guess how that turned out.
December 8th, 2009 at 11:55 PM ^
It's been killed off recently, they have a small one but its less of a big deal now - a couple years ago there was an assault during it, some guys from W. Quad beat up a S. Quad kid for hitting one of them in the face or something.
December 8th, 2009 at 11:56 PM ^
first the naked mile...now the snowball fight...what's next - close down hash bash and cut down all the trees in the ARB???!?!?!
December 9th, 2009 at 12:01 AM ^
Hash Bash has been marginalized in the last couple years too... it's more of that nobody shows up for it.
December 9th, 2009 at 12:28 AM ^
SAVE THE TREES
That makes sense, I think most of the 60's and 70's era burnouts are too old to make the trek anymore
December 9th, 2009 at 12:33 AM ^
+1 just get you to 1000
December 9th, 2009 at 12:36 AM ^
hopefully I don't get negged for a while now
December 9th, 2009 at 11:38 AM ^
nice, guys...reallllly nice
December 9th, 2009 at 12:22 AM ^
naked mile? No longer?
December 9th, 2009 at 12:29 AM ^
Too many pervs with video cameras posting stuff on the internet. They shut it down quite a few years ago.
December 9th, 2009 at 12:56 AM ^
They shut this down back in 2003-2004 if memory serves correctly.
December 9th, 2009 at 9:49 AM ^
It got shut down officially, but a few friends of mine on the frisbee team ran it anyway. The following year, students tried to bring it back, but people wore underwear so as not to get cited by DPS. It was pretty lame, sadly.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:21 AM ^
05-06 had an absolutely amazing snowstorm for it. It was crazy.
December 9th, 2009 at 12:46 AM ^
in my two years of WQ (06-07, 07-08) we won
December 9th, 2009 at 12:54 AM ^
07-08 was the year the assault took place.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:01 AM ^
There was an unofficial one tonight. West Quad was winning until the football players went inside. There will probably be a bigger one when it snows more.
Players I noticed out there:
Will Campbell (center of attention and leader of West Quad (can't throw though))
Fitz Toussaint (He started rapping for somebody that was videotaping...he was pretty good)
Cam Gordon
Thomas Gordon
Denard Robinson (2nd in command after Big Will. This one girl was throwing snowballs at him, so he threw one back and hit her. She got pretty angry and grabbed his leg. It was kinda weird haha)
JT Turner
Jeremy Gallon
December 9th, 2009 at 2:36 AM ^
Epic rap battle between Coner and Toussaint coming up?
December 9th, 2009 at 2:55 AM ^
Man that's the biggest part of the dorms I miss. On the Valentine's Day one in '07 I managed to catch Chad Henne in the face with a snowball. That is, and probably will remain, the highlight of my college years.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:35 AM ^
Think your history is a little dated on this one. West Quad has been smoking South Quad this past decade. 8 out of the last 10 or so.
December 8th, 2009 at 11:52 PM ^
should practice their passing skills by nailing a moving Squaddy ;)
meanwhile, SQuad students should start learning how to dodge, because when the WQ/SQ snowball fight rolls around...well, you know
