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!

I am currently not a fan of any NFL team. Actually, I never have been, but I will be a fan of the team that Denard goes to.

I'm not really a huge fan of any NFL teams... whenever I'm watching a game I tend to root for the team with the most Wolverines on it. But I have a feeling Denard's team will be my new favorite team.

Let's get denarded in here! Digital painting I finished last night. Taking any orders as far as quantity since it's digital- price can be adjusted. Also taking any requests for new subjects i.e. any other Michigan player you would like to have on your wall, past and present. Sorry for posting this here, but I thought it the blog would be the best place to showcase my stuff, since I know only the diehards (like me) hang out here.

excellent job...like the contrast against the grey background..nice job seriously.

I took the whole action figure thing to heart and made a display case fitting for my
"Under the Lights" MAGIC ticket...

Whoa! That is some serious business. Love the detail, you nailed it! Great way to remember an awesome game! I need to enshine my ticket too.

nice work. That looks like something that should be sold for lots of $$$

I'm pretty sure that's what Adidas, Michigan Athletics, B1G, and NCAA licensing would say as well..or at least their attorneys...I'll keep it safely in my TV room and avoid legal fees.

very good point
December 23rd, 2011 at 3:08 PM ^
Great stuff!

to have my children. May they be born with your talents.

Sports Science is pretty neat but I can't help but feel like some of it BS..Not trying to knock it (or Denard's segment) but some of them leave you wondering how in the hell they would even calculate some of the stuff..
Then again it is science and I was never good in that subject..

it's pretty easy...while some took the route of 'sports management and communications'...I followed the path of Kinesiology/Exercise Physiology/Biomechanics...and even as undergrads we did calculations and experiments like this 20 years ago...not on Denard mind you =) but certainly that type of stuff...one of the coolest things I remember doing was analysing the stress load on a Javelin thrower from simple photographs and data on his bodyweight, average speed, torque and angle of the impliment, etc. It was really cool...
much of that technology is now used in videogaming to make lifelike or more accurate game play and movement with a series of reflective dots and a blacksuit to gather video data on critical hinge points on the human body when they move...any ways, yeah it's pretty accurate, it's pretty easy to do once you get the hang of it. And Sports Science is awesome...purchased both seasons of their hour long episodes from Itunes. I show them to my classes regularly.
