16 is the answer to life the universe and everything (for 2012) Denard Robinson

By: Phil Callihan

With apologies to Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the answer to the meaning of life the universe and everything is not 42.

It’s 16.

At least that’s the answer for Michigan Wolverine fans this season.

After weeks of breaking down game tape  and evaluating the incoming football roster for the upcoming season, I have reached the following conclusion:

It’s all about Denard Xavier Robinson.

Of course, he needs no introduction. Since he grabbed hold of the starting QB position two seasons ago amid the implosion of Tate Forcier he’s taken Wolverine fans on a wild ride. From the 2010 Notre Dame game where he gained 258 yards while announcing his entry into the Heisman Trophy race, to last season’s improbable last minute comeback, again against the irish, to lead the Wolverines to victory in the first night game in history of The Big House- Denard is the spark plug that makes the Big Blue Machine go.

…and the band played on–Michigan Wolverine Marching Band *will* play in the Cowboys Classic

By: Phil Callihan

On October 14, 2010, the Michigan athletic department announced that the Wolverines would travel to Dallas, Texas to face the Alabama Crimson Tide for the 2012 season opener.

“This is a great way to kick off the 2012 season with two of the nation’s winningest college football programs,” said U-M director of athletics Dave Brandon. “We are excited about playing a regular-season game in the state of Texas, a region of the country where we have traditionally recruited. Our goal is to get as many Michigan fans to the game as possible to witness this match-up of traditional powers.”

On Thursday April 19 2012, the members of the Michigan Marching were informed via email that

“…it has recently been decided that the Michigan Marching Band will not be traveling to Texas for the Cowboy Classic game vs. Alabama this fall. The Athletic Department is treating the Alabama game as a standard road contest, not as a bowl game. Therefore, there is no bowl-style budget available to bring the band to Texas.”

What happened during the 18 months between these announcements may take some time to uncover but reaction from Wolverine fans was known immediately. Less than 5 days later the athletic department reversed itself and it was announced that band would be traveling to the game.

Adversary Update: Future Badger Sam Dekker

Bo Ryan has built Wisconsin’s basketball program up with underappreciated players on the national recruiting scene. The Badgers have not signed a player above a three star, according to Rivals, since 2008. And although you may think the exception was Jordan Taylor, actually a three-star, it was center Jared Berggren. But the 2012 class will usher in a bona-fide 5-star in SF Sam Dekker. He is a player that can shoot the long ball and take it to the rim. This past season he averaged over 30 pts. while leading his school to its first ever state championship.  Dekker is a player that could take the program to the next level and is worthy of keeping an eye on.
