And my family sees him walking along with his teammates as they are heading to soccer practice. Almost always smiling.
September 22nd, 2010 at 11:45 AM ^
he can pass the ball to himself, and block his own shots!!
September 22nd, 2010 at 11:45 AM ^
you might be able to get a glimpse...
something like this:
September 22nd, 2010 at 11:48 AM ^
... who tries to see denard on campus, but can't because he's to fast.
September 22nd, 2010 at 1:27 PM ^
Denard's to fast as Zoltan's to Space Emperorness?
September 22nd, 2010 at 11:49 AM ^
I see him almost everyday on campus, people just go by and give him a "nice game" or something along that lines, but he never is followed by a crowd of people. usuall just him and maybe 2 other guys just chillin'
September 22nd, 2010 at 12:00 PM ^
I'm just sad I have good, well at least decent ethics, and respect for HIPAA. Whenever a player comes into the hospital (sometimes just to visit friends/family) the evil part of my mind says "Take a photo and trigger an MGoMeltdown on the boards.".
A photo of Denard in a cast would have half the regulars on the ground and foaming at the mouth. Maybe next time I see a key player I'll see if they'll let me load them into the MRI or something and snap a photo for the heck of it.

Just to be clear, are the shotguns and shovels to be used on or by the internet stalkers?
September 22nd, 2010 at 11:50 AM ^
Creeper alert. Creeper Alert!
September 22nd, 2010 at 11:51 AM ^
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Denard pass out at Stucci's last night, I guess it's pretty serious.
September 22nd, 2010 at 11:54 AM ^
DENARD PASSES OUT AT STUCCI'S!?!?!? Call the Freep!
September 22nd, 2010 at 12:22 PM ^
Bastard! I used this in a similar thread like a week ago!
Damn internets.
Save Denard!
September 22nd, 2010 at 1:44 PM ^
Twice while I was working at Stucci's in 1999 Tom Brady came in all alone at night and got a three-scoop waffle cone. I felt bad for the poor lonely guy. My family joked that he was going to show up for the Organe Bowl at 300+ lbs.
September 22nd, 2010 at 2:21 PM ^
He definitely is neither poor nor lonely anymore. I remember having to do a fraternity kidnapping of a brother in front of Derrick Alexander. He looked moritfied.
September 23rd, 2010 at 2:36 PM ^
about 10 years ago. Luckily, I was faster than my friend
September 23rd, 2010 at 1:54 AM ^
in love with you. And as I say to everyone I admit unrequited love to: sorry bout that.
September 22nd, 2010 at 11:52 AM ^
I've walked by him a few times.
He's probably only 5'9", if that, which makes him that much awesomer, IMO.
September 22nd, 2010 at 12:04 PM ^
he's taller than 5'9".
September 22nd, 2010 at 12:09 PM ^
He's definitely as tall, if not taller than me and I stand at 5'11.
September 22nd, 2010 at 12:38 PM ^
Hmm... well, I'm almost 5'11 and I was looking slightly down. I'll go with 5'10", but I really have trouble thinking he's much taller, especially when you take off the imaginary inches that are normally given on the official roster.
But hey, I might be wrong.
September 22nd, 2010 at 1:22 PM ^
You can't look down on Denard, impossible even for someone taller then hiim
September 23rd, 2010 at 11:27 AM ^
tilted to one side and were you only wearing one shoe? (throwin a little Happy Gilmore) it is great to be a wolverine fan!
September 22nd, 2010 at 12:30 PM ^
just makes him look shorter.
September 22nd, 2010 at 2:02 PM ^
Spacetime warps if you go Denard-speed.
September 22nd, 2010 at 3:45 PM ^
Me thinks thou hast confused him for our 5'7'' runningback who also has dreads
September 22nd, 2010 at 11:57 AM ^
Denard came to my wedding and I told him to kick UConn's ass....He then did. He smiles a bunch and is super humble. He even went into the photo booth with some of my guests.
September 22nd, 2010 at 12:09 PM ^
You win....I take it he must be a good friend of someone in the party. Congrats by the way
September 22nd, 2010 at 12:29 PM ^
No actually we just happen to have our reception at the same hotel the players were staying in during camp. Taylor and Omameh were the first ones that actually came in. The back entrance, which they were using, was right next to the Hall where we had the reception. We got a bunch of pics with them and then they went up and got Denard for us. Pretty interesting story actually and quite an experience. I had a grooms cake that was a winged helmet and Omameh took a picture of it to show some of the other guys. Josh Furman actually came in and danced with my mom.
September 22nd, 2010 at 12:42 PM ^
Big fan of that guy, hope he can make a difference soon.
September 22nd, 2010 at 1:25 PM ^
Ha and why is that?
September 22nd, 2010 at 1:13 PM ^
I thought you were just being sarcastic and making that stuff up (He went in the photo booth, good one!) lol. And it's actually true. Great story sir.
September 22nd, 2010 at 1:29 PM ^
...why haven't you created an MGoPost describing your wedding reception featuring Michigan football player wedding crashers?
Josh Furman dancing with your mom? Pictures are required.
September 22nd, 2010 at 1:36 PM ^
...rocking the maize and blue vest? Very nicely played.
September 22nd, 2010 at 1:36 PM ^
Actually no, that's my dad....we got it for him as a gift for helping out.
September 22nd, 2010 at 1:58 PM ^
Seems like I've seen these pics before...
September 22nd, 2010 at 2:19 PM ^
Well I posted them on the ESPN boards but that post got deleted so unless you were there...you haven't seen them lol. Our photographer has more but she hasn't given us the photos yet, the ones I have are all from either people who sent them to me or from my personal camera.
September 22nd, 2010 at 2:29 PM ^
Yeah, I was there. Do you not recognize my avatar?
September 22nd, 2010 at 2:36 PM ^
I sure do, if I remember correctly that would be Jever's...but I could be mixing them up. and I'm sure you recognize me: M&B09....This is my name on here (also my xbox gamer tag). Dabraylon knows me as both of these names because of that. I forget sometimes that I am known under two identities.
The funny part about the original post on the ESPN board is that not only did they delet it, but they banned me for it as well for 24 hours. I questioned them in my reinstatement about the fact that you can ONLY put up a picture of yourself, or so the rules say, as your avatar - but as soon as you post a picture (with the faces blurred out) they ban you? It was really odd.
September 22nd, 2010 at 2:50 PM ^
It's Red_n_Guilty over there. I was disappointed when those pics were taken down (there are more everyone). I wanted to show college roommates.
September 22nd, 2010 at 2:52 PM ^
Duh, it's red....how did I not know that....Well if you click the picture you can go to the photostream and it has all of the other ones I posted in that thread that got taken down.
September 22nd, 2010 at 4:02 PM ^
You're saving your "A" material for the 12-year-olds on the ESPN message boards?
September 22nd, 2010 at 8:03 PM ^
It's where I got my start. There's a solid group of like 10 guys on there that are reliable posters. I got my name there in 2004, MgoBlog didn't even let you post stuff until 2008 I think.
September 22nd, 2010 at 1:53 PM ^
I don't know if you have already given the itneresting points of this story or not. But, if not, you need to post about this day. I like reading stuff like that over most of what gets posted on the board nowadays.
September 22nd, 2010 at 2:26 PM ^
Well the interesting point was that they crashed the wedding, which I was perfectly fine with.
Other notable things:
-Taylor Lewan was my 2nd dance of the night after the my wife and I danced Taylor ran out and grabbed me (which was a suggestion by one of my friends and the reason they came into the wedding. He saw them poking their head in from the hallway and he said it would make my night if he ran up and danced with me. So after my wife and I danced in comes running Taylor Lewan). So people I danced with at my wedding, I hate dancing BTW, were 1. My new wife and 2. Taylor Lewan.
-Some other players did the cupid shuffle. Not sure who they were, I had had a few drinks at that point.
-Either Furman or JeRon Stokes danced with my mom, I'm not sure which one he was but he wore #6 he said to my mom.
-I have a picture of Lewan, Omameh, my wife and I in the photo booth.
- Lewan signed our guest platter thing, and Denard took pictures with my Groomsman in the photo booth and signed that book.
And that's about it. We also saw Kovaks in the hall walking through, as a lot of other players were, and we yelled "Kovaks!" at him...I think he was shocked someone knew who he was.
September 22nd, 2010 at 2:39 PM ^
That's really cool. It's going to be story that you wont get tired of telling. If the football team showed up at my wedding, I am not sure if I would pay attention to anyone else.
