You might think downing a slow-rolling punt on the opponent's 11-yard line isn't much to celebrate, but that is why you are you and Dennis Norfleet is the best.
In case there was any doubt as to who won this week's otherwise-barren GIFs post, the BTN knew enough to put a camera on Norfleet before a Rutgers kickoff:
The adidas "what if we made one finger different?" gloves make this look a bit more obscene than I think was intended. Regardless, infinite eligibility for Norfleet, please—this, sadly didn't make it to the broadcast:
@aceanbender@hooverstreet at Rutgers' game, pre-punt return, he turned twds RU band playing in stands and conducted it for a full minute

Infinite, I say, and I'll stand for nothing less.
[Hit THE JUMP for a couple sacks, a couple Devin Gardner TD runs, a catch and two steps and C'MON REFS, and more.]
As usual, clicks the stills to open each GIF in a lightbox.
10. Yes, That Is A Catch
I know, I know, we're at the point in this cursed season when a call that potentially costs Michigan the game barely registers on the outrage meter. That said, I count two steps and one football move, and have no clue how this could possibly have been confirmed upon review.
9. Take A Bow, Taco
Excellent technique on the waist-bend, too.
8. That Looked Rather Easy
It's kinda nice to have the outrageously good athlete use his outrageously good athleticism, as it turns out.
7. Brady Hoke Rides The Emotional Rollercoaster
Hoke reacted to Frank Clark's near-sack, only to be followed by a Gary Nova touchdown pass, the way I believe all of us did. The smirk of disbelief at the end seals it.
6. Watch For Terrifying Flying Objects
That Gary Nova had a reaction to seeing a leaping Henry bear down on him aside from "drop everything, poop myself" is a testament to the bravery and bowel control of quarterbacks everywhere.
5. Butt Needs A Hand
Just one, though.
4. Maybe Play This Guy More?
With this block and his catch just two plays later, Khalid Hill made a rather emphatic case for more playing time.
3. Devin Gardner Saves The Waggle, Part 264
Defenders juked out of their shoes: 1
Defenders blown past because DG makes tackling angles irrelevant: 3
Touchdown created solely by the remarkable athleticism of DG: 1
2. Dancin' Dennis Norfleet Debuts New Dance
If you're looking for ways to have fun watching Michigan football, here's the guy to watch.
FRAMES OF THE GAME: MOST ENTHUSIASTIC PUNT DOWNING OF ALL TIME
Seriously, if this doesn't give you at least some small feeling of joy, I'm not sure I can do anything to help you anymore. I tried. I really tried.
