Scientists Unveil 3G Shoelace
We interrupt your regularly scheduled afternoon to bring you this important science (Science!) update, courtesy of ESPN Sport Science and HT ChuckWood. It has a 15-second Wodka commercial introduction that's worth waiting through. Follow either link for findings such as:
- Denard is like Michael Vick only faster (and with better quarterbacking numbers)
- Denard can get up to 11 mph in four steps
- Denard's top speed is somewhere close to 22 mph
- Denard recreates the G force of a shuttle launch when he cuts.
Denard Robinson is made of dilithium. Science!

that is what they should have found out.
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:31 AM ^
Denard may be the man but MeatChicken (Hoke) is still a fat ass...did I see Meatchicken chasing a hot dog on a string...haha
December 23rd, 2011 at 11:19 AM ^
this lasting for nones of seconds.
Update/Edit: this was in reply to a douche nozzle whose reply has since been deleted. Carry on.
December 26th, 2011 at 11:44 PM ^
Respect your use of "nozzle" over "bag". Kudos.
December 24th, 2011 at 11:43 AM ^
I agree, the only way Hoke leaves UM is if somone ties a string to the end of a hotdog and leads his fatass out of Ann Arbor! LOL
December 22nd, 2011 at 3:59 PM ^
60% of his passes.....he completes every pass....its science.
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:11 PM ^
He musks up not with Sex Panther, but with Sex Cheetah. (it has real cheetah bits)
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:00 PM ^
That is all.
December 23rd, 2011 at 11:10 AM ^
I second that emotion.
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:03 PM ^
Next February they do a core sample to find a solution to this energy crisis of ours...
December 22nd, 2011 at 5:45 PM ^
GM fuel cell research has found that just 1g of his dread clippings will power a Chevy Suburban for over 700 miles.

Spit water all over my iPhone. Well done
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:17 PM ^
I am torn. On the one hand, Denard!!! Most awesome M player in the history of ever, and nice to see him get the hype.
On the other hand, Denard is getting an NFL evaluation. These types of measurables are the type of thing that could go into a very positive evaluation, especially if he is being eveluated as an ATH. I really want Denard to come back next year.
December 22nd, 2011 at 5:01 PM ^
Nard isn't going anywhere. He loves this team too much. He'll be back in 2012.

Must've been version 1.0, Rick Leach, Steve Smith?
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:20 PM ^
Why didn't you just front page the post?
Or is that only possible with Diaries, and not posts? (in a technical, computer type manner)
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:34 PM ^
I think it was just an effort to use a photo of Bill Nye the Science Guy
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:52 PM ^
I fully support any effort of such nature.
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:36 PM ^
Really META but yeah it's technically doable but creates problems. There's several things involved:
- The "front page" option that works w/ diaries does not work for these. I would have to bump to a Diary, then do it from there. I can bump a board item to Diaries that has <200 words but I can't edit it or anything without tripping the iron 200-words rule. That means I couldn't FP it from there.
- User tags (which I'd have to post then go back and delete and re-make if I wanted to add). Also there's a problem created by the subcategory "football" on the board gets stories thrown into a deep dark hole.
- Posting time. I'd like the OP to have the rapidity with which he posted preserved, however I waited to let Ace's article sit as the top post for a few hours before posting. To do that i would have to change the posting date (this doesn't happen with FP'ed diaries) or else it would appear under Ace's article.
- Points. You get 100 points for a FP bump but you will lose anything you got for plus/minus. He deserves all the PLUSES for posting. I gave the OP a 200-pt bump as well.
- My images. The easiest way for me to upload images to the server is by publishing in WLive. Obviously I can't do it that way if it's somebody else's post.
- Some people find short things like this annoying. I'd rather they be annoyed with me than with a user who appropriately posted it in on the board.

11 mph in four steps. Four steps going downstairs with a running start that is.
December 22nd, 2011 at 11:45 PM ^
but by step five I'm body surfing headlong down said staircase.
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
Astronauts experience 3 g's for minutes, Denard experiences them for a fraction of a second. A better comparison of how that g-force feels would be how anybody feels at the bottom of a rollercoaster, 3-4g's for a very brief instant of time.
He's still one of the only people that can do that though, so I guess astronaut/Space Bitches comparison is valid.
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:52 PM ^
I saw Denard run by being chased by a cheetah, Oh, Uhh....nevermind!
December 22nd, 2011 at 9:26 PM ^
Other way around - that was Denard chasing a cheetah. It's one of his favorite games when he has free time . . .
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:55 PM ^
Denard is what happens when you level up to 100 in acrobatics skills. It breaks the game.

Like, arian foster, crossed with mike vick, only a better qb, and also a space shuttle?

You don't say!!
December 22nd, 2011 at 6:12 PM ^
is awesome! We all think he is coming back right? After another off-season and spring ball and the practice time before the season that will only help him more.He will have a chance to be drafted in the first round. He has already out peformed micheal vick in college. He needs to work on his accuracy and gain some weight.
December 22nd, 2011 at 6:43 PM ^
Not sure if serious, but ... no.
December 22nd, 2011 at 7:04 PM ^
There was a book by a physicist a few years ago (The Physics of Football) which also noted the tremendous forces at work when runners cut and change directions. Barry Sanders was the example used in the book and he and Denard must have incredibly strong ankle ligaments and be very fit to withstand the sudden stops and shifts. It isn't just a linear 2-3+ G accleration. It is going from +1-2 to 0 and then 2-3 in the opposite direction.

I hear the tide is finally turning at NASA. I never thought I'd see the day that Craig James would be killing hookers like hotcakes.

now that's good wodka

The bartender says "we don't allow faster than light objects in this establishment."
Denard Robinson walks into a bar.
