Fixing the thread...
Michigan Wolverines plan to play 3 QBs in opener, coach Rich Rodriguez says - ESPN

Michigan eyes quarterback shuffle

"When I was 7, I started playing little league football and never tied my shoes," Robinson said Sunday. "My coach started calling me 'Shoelace' and that has stuck with me."
Robinson says he only ties the laces of dress shoes when he's going to church.

Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez says he plans to use Robinson and two other quarterbacks in the season opener Sept. 5 against Western Michigan.

Smith then chuckled and recalled hearing the nickname for the first time when he was recruiting Robinson at Deerfield Beach (Fla.) High School.
"It's the damnedest thing I've ever seen," Smith said.
Michigan makes Robinson tape his ankles for practice, but doesn't plan to force him to tie up his laces for games.
"Anybody that runs that fast, I'm not going to tell him how to tie his shoes," Smith said.
Robinson ran the 40-yard dash in 4.32 seconds in high school and starred at the 2008 Florida 4A track and field championships, where he helped his team win the 400 relay and finished third in the 100.

Robinson said superstition will lead him to keeping the unique touch on his 11? Adidas.
"I've been doing good in practices since I got here," he said. "So I might as well stick with it."
Rodriguez has seen his quarterbacks compete for a couple weeks and yet he isn't ready to say who is even the front-runner in the race.
"If there was, I wouldn't tell you," he said.
