The look of Futile Disgust, on the face of the "Guy Behind the Guy" as he adjusts HIS headset....is priceless.

That kid with the headset seems to have more going on upstairs than the man in front of him who's running the team.

I once referred to Brady Hoke as being "level headed".  I've come to see: The flip side of that is being okay with losing.  If Hoke stood up at a press conference and said: "Well, the kids played hard today.  They executed with good technique.  I'm not too concerned that it's our fifth loss in a row."--I don't think any of us would be too surprised.

While that might be emotionally healthy coaching grade school, or even high school, it doesn't stand the test of being measured against the spirit of Bo Schembeckler, who I believe set a standard every Wolverine must aim for.

There's a lot of "Quant Attitude" on this board; overemphasizing the analytical aspects of football.  Whereas I believe conviction, determination and leadership rule the game. 

This question could make for a very good, lively conversation.

The first 36 claps or so, I was watching to see how many there were per loop; then I sort of took it in that I was watching freaking Brady Hoke clap, and - knowing the weekly result - it took about 2 seconds before it became infuriating and now I'm upset and want ice cream. Dammit.

I got to 1000 and shared with many friends.

 

No joke, during the game one of my buddies texted me from the stadium and said "Does Hoke do anything other than stand there and clap?"

I'll admit it, he had me motivated to keep watching. The problem is, I was disturbed by the kid in the background adjusting his headphones. Someone must have been screaming at him.

If only the head coach was listening to the voice at the other end.

Well, you know you've reached a bad point in your fandom when your biggest rival takes a shot and all you can do is laugh along with them.  Did give me an idea, maybe we can make a UrbanMeyerLyin.com website and count everytime his mouth moves?
