Ed. Steve Sapardanis aka “Dr. Sap” is back with his decals.
This week I added the Editor’s Pick & the Fan Award. Here are the picks from Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6 and Week 7 and Week 8 and Week 9 and Week 10.
OFFENSE |
DEVIN GARDNER – Let me get this right: over 300 yards passing and SIX touchdowns? Dude looks like he’s been playing QB all season and not just 3 weeks. Hope DG saved some magic, and TDs, for next week! |
DEFENSE |
JAKE RYAN – Here’s why I think “manster” is such a big deal on defense: it’s not his forced fumbles or his tackles for loss. It’s the fact that offenses have to treat him much like defenses have to treat Denard – YOU MUST ACCOUNT FOR THE MANSTER! It’s that simple. When was the last time UM had a defender that the offenses had to account for? You got it, Charles Woodson. ‘Nuff said. |
SPECIAL TEAMS |
BRENDAN GIBBONS – Sure he scored 6 points, but the reason he gets the nod this week is his TACKLE on a 2nd quarter kickoff. And get this – it was not even his first tackle of the year! Gibby had a tackle earlier in the season. Now that’s my kind of kicker! |
HUSTLER / |
DENARD ROBINSON – You had to love what Shoelace did in his last game at M Stadium! Over 120 yards of offense playing QB, TB and WR while only carrying the ball with his left hand – TOUGH! Thanks for the memories Denard! |
UNIFORM CHAMP |
U.S. FLAG & NUMBERS – Even though the only stickers I’d like on the UM helmets would be award decals, I’m ok with the U.S. flag and player numbers on the headgear. Did you notice that the flag and numbers are on the left side this year? Last year the flag was on the right side. Wonder if they will continue to switch sides each season? |
UFER MAIZE & BLUE |
HFOO Guy: Hands down, got to give it to this guy who came strong: Runner-up: Sorry dude; any other week man. You ran into a buzzsaw this time: |
EDITOR’S PICK |
JAMES ROSS III: Nine solo tackles? He’s JAMES ROSS IX to me. |

I’m sure you’ve seen this HS clip of Gibbons…

@ThWard OMG, I totally forgot about that clip! I remember watching that clip with a buddy of mine and we said, “if the dude can’t kick at least he can take people out of the game!”

@MGoSap Right. Good to see that even the more laid back, long-haired, brunettes-thinking Gibbons of today still hasn’t lost that HS tackling edge!
