Brady Hoke is now bowl eligible and ranked. Hoke > Yost. Discuss.

Has had plenty of time to build his team to where they are. I really don't think he would be doing as well at Michigan with this team and facing this schedual. I would still rather have RR. Glad he is doing well for himself though.

Wow, Toledo has fallen off after scoring 40+ on Fresno State and Eastern Michigan. They lost to freakin FIU, by far one of the worst teams in college football; Hoke has built Ball State into a decent program. Still, Toledo runs a spread offense and could give us fits. Can't take any game for granted this year.

Hey guys - check out the rushing stats for Toledo's starting QB. Not so good. He is not going to pull a "Juice" on us, don't you worry.

His best game on the ground was a paltry 16 yards. Michigan's DL is going to be laying this dude out all over the field.

Agreed. Michigan doesn't have problems with spread PASSING teams (see Purdue over the last 12 years). There's a difference between the spread and the spread/read option.

Yeah, the only thing about this game that worries me is that if we don't win by at least 31, someone will post a diary seriously suggesting that Hoke would have been a better hire than RR.

TS, are you suggesting the Hoke would not have been the better hire?

Better than who? DeBord? These are the questions that keep me awake at night.

I would post this sarcastically, and people would take it way too seriously. I'd settle for just scoring over 31 points in the game, or even winning with < 2 fumbles.

I'm glad that we didn't get Hoke, but it would be kinda funny if he went undefeated or something this year, only a year after we all got angry that he was even considered.

I wanted Schiano more than Miles or RichRod.

Remember that rumor about Lloyd talking to the Syracuse AD a little while ago? I would not be surprised if the topic of the conversation had to do with Hoke. Syracuse is going to be in the market and realistically, their best hope is for a guy from the MAC or another small conference.
