Brady Hoke Presser
These are all from Kyle Meinke's (A2.com) Twitter feed.

Hoke was surprisingly revealing today. He typically clamps down on info as game day approaches, esp. on players gaining/losing starting jobs:
- Will Heininger "probably" won't play in the Sugar Bowl.
- Will Hagerup has held off Matt Wile, will start at punter.
- Thomas Gordon will start at free safety. Troy Woolfolk also is expected to see time.
- Should a long field goal be attempted, freshman Matt Wile, not Brendan Gibbons, would be the guy.
- J.T. Floyd joined Denard Robinson in submitting paperwork to the NFL draft advisory board. Hoke expects him to be back.
- Denard used to get too hyped before games, a problem he's mostly solved by listening to slower music like R&B during pregames.
- "Spent my New Year's Eve watching Arrested Development in my hotel room." -- Denard Robinson, showing off his superior taste in TV. [Maize and Bluth]

I hope the bards sing tales of the legend that is Denard Robinson. Seriously, his awesomeness factor went up even higher when I read that.

I seriously lost it when I read about Arrested Development. Something I would never have expected out of him. That's hilarious.

I seriously lost it when the article stated that "J.T. Floyd has filled out paperwork for the NFL". I hope that was a misprint.

Maybe we should make a nice mello CD for Denard to listen to before the Sugar Bowl. I think some Barry White would be cool.

Maybe thats why they play songs like Build me up Buttercup at the stadium. Don't want the players to get TOO hyped.

I didn't know Big Will could sing that well !

Seriously though a loves arrested developement and changed his pregame warm-up music I think I know what he is listening to.

Chicken dance after a TD I would laugh til I peed.

"Thomas Gordon will start at free safety. Troy Woolfolk also is expected to see time."
I like to think that this means Hoke is serious about competing for jobs every week (some positions, like QB and wherever Mike Martin plays, excepted). I see no reason to believe otherwise. Is good!

Shit, don't let any of our other juniors or redshirt sophomores know that JT Floyd submitted his paperwork.
"Wait, who? JT? JT submitted his papers? Aw, hell no . . . "
