Dennis Norfleet Apologize on Instagram
Well Dennis Norfleet took to Instagram on Wednesday Morning to apologize for what has happend.
I've been crying so much I have no more tears to give I just want to give an apology to all the Michigan fans and the Michigan alumni last but not least my team. We been through it all we all have the same goals that we want to reach but I've been talking to God everything is going to be alright for those who don't know what's going on... Trust me I will be okay things happen for reason #MajQr
Dennis, If you read this, know that we're all hoping you solve your academic problems and continue to the degree. We'd also like to see you on the team.
I hope he does what he has to do and makes it back on the team.
Whatever happens with football, afterwards perhaps Dennis should consider moving out here to LA and become a Dance Instructor. He would make a fortune teaching white celebrities and wanna bees how to move. I am being serious, the kid has talent.
You will always be loved here.

Like what? Take a good look around the world. God's obviously more concerned with helping guys score touchdowns and steal third base than he is with stopping wars and poverty.

though now it is fuzzy in my mind if I really slept through 8AM Chemistry 124 fall semester Freshman year, or just dream about it that way. (Maybe I slept through the class in the lecture hall. I seem to recall sliding into the 10AM lecture a lot.) I passed the class, but somehow that one has scarred me for life.
As for Dennis: all I can say is we all get into bad places in life. Work through it the right way, you will discover who really cares (and sometimes that is tough love), they will be behind you, and you'll be able to stand tall when you look back at the crisis.
Me too. Glad to see I am not alone.
I am 44 and 19 years out of Law School at this point. Wierd thing is, the class I am missing is always an undergrad class.
Sorry to say I still have them once in a blue moon and I'm 70.
Good God, can you change "apologize" to "apologizes" or "apology" in the OP? Thought I was at RCMB for a minute.

Beautiful, sincere, raw heartfelt apology. Norfleet is so clearly taking responsibility for himself, and acknowledging that he has made some bad decisions. Owning up to your own mistakes and not making excuses is the beginning. Seeing that your life is unmanageable is key. It is interesting that he mentions talking to God . . . regardless of who you understand God to be, making a decision to turn your life over to him is also a very important step. My heart goes out to Dennis.
It is truly my hope that with help from the coaching and support staff, along with his professors, Norfleet will be given the opportunity to pass his classes, and to right the ship academically. It is hard, but he can do it.
This whole story hits me personally. I flunked out of UofM not once, but twice. I was having too much fun, and I'm ashamed to say I didn't take advantage of the wonderful academic opportunities available at UofM. Thankfully, I had an awesome academic counselor who really went to bat for me, and helped me get my life in order. Without that support, I never would have graduated from UofM, and eventually done graduate work. Sadly, for some of us, you have to learn the hard way.
glad you persevered.
Believe it or not, my fraternity actually took a saw to the top of an old station wagon, painted it red with rollers, put a ladder and a garden hose on the side, and used it in a parade, mocking another fraternity. I have extremely fond memories of my time at Michigan, but at the same time, I sometimes have regrets at not getting more out of the academic opportunities.
so dumb question. What does that hashtag #MajQr mean? Major? I don't get it..
I had same thought; it's actually his instagram user name, so he's using the hashtag as sort of a signature, to sort of convey that the message is coming directly from him and in seriousness.
we all make mistakes...learn from it, move on, turn it into something good.
Hail!
I'm hoping this is step #1 on the climb back to the team. I really want our University to stand up and help those who ask for it and this statement is as big a cry/ask for help as I can see.
Do the work and get back home, Fleet!
Best of luck to you.
However, there is some speculation that they are working with him and the university to help him finish his degree. There are three things going on here. 1) Academics 2) Violation of team rules 3) already been disciplined under Hoke
So, there is proven history and a recurring theme. Let's just hope his H.S. Coach shuts up and let's this thing rest. Dennis does not need all the negative publicity and for his private life to be played out in public.

Not by any means is Norfleet the most athletic, or valuable football player on the roster, but this kid has so much ethusiasim. Norfleet is a great special teams player and the boy is always screaming his head off with excitement, something i wish every player would do, play crazy.
Right now, all we can do is pray for Norfleet, if that's what you're into, and hope he get's on the right path because nobody deserves to suffer.
It is fine. No way the Michigan Fan Base can get mad at you.
We love you and we are with you in whatever you are going through. We (or at least most of us) will give you some space because it seems that is what you need. That does NOT mean that you will be forgotten. Good luck.
