Brennan Votel makes ESPN

...But not for anything related to basketball. The former hoops forward who graduated this past May apparently took a trip to Europe after graduation and participated in the annual Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling race. It sounds simple enough: 15 people race to the bottom of a hill, trailing a large wheel of cheese. First one to the bottom wins the cheese.

Yet it's not that easy. Since the hill is steep and uneven, the vast majority of participants in any given race fall down. Multiple times. In fact, the race has been described as "twenty young men chase a cheese off a cliff and tumble 200 yards to the bottom, where they are scraped up by paramedics and packed off to hospital."

Votel raced in the event, as seen in this E:60 segment on ESPN. You can see him briefly at :58 seconds getting some "Dutch courage" and also briefly at roughly 5:56. But if you want to see him tumbling down the hill, in all his Robert "Tractor" Traylor Michigan jersey glory, then watch from roughly 4:45 to 5:30, including an interview at 5:15 with Jeremy Schaap.
