the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection
Dantonio-Hecklinski incident at MHSFCA clinic today
Dantonio got up and spoke about their season, Cousins, BK Cunningham and MSU. Hecklinski got up and presented how Michigan sets up their recruiting-recruit the state of Michigan first, then the Midwest, and then nationally.
Dantonio then burst in, interrupts Hecklinski and yells, "We're not here to listen to this. Move on!"
Many coaches in the room were stunned and many lost respect for State and Dantonio because of the incident. To Hecklinski's credit, he didn't add to the childish behavior and represented Michigan with class and honor.
Most coaches were stunned but the jealous, anger-filled behavior turned a lot of people off. Other coaches on the panel were visibly bothered by this unprofessional behavior.
Kiffin/USC (Douches?)
Saban/Bama (win at all costs?)
Les/LSU (Crazy bayou people?)
Kill/Minnesota (He looks like a gopher)
"Over? Did you say, over? Nothing is over until we decide it is!"
FSU (we love Bobby Bowden!!) and Bobby Bowden (I love Bobby Bowden!!) were a match made in heaven.

Lloyd was great for Michigan though. Read the classics, all the Michigan Arrogance we could ask for.
Pete Carrol fit at USC too... In an "LA don't care douche" kinda way.
I'd say Holgo is a fit at WVU in an "I'm drunk and I dont Give a F" kinda way...
Bad fits?
Bielema/Wisco - I mean, Madison is almost as Hippy as AA. Bielema is way too much of a broseph.
Al Golden at Miami - who wears a tie on south beach?
"Over? Did you say, over? Nothing is over until we decide it is!"
I dunno, Madison aside, I think Bielema matches up pretty well with Wisconsin in general. Does that not look like a guy who eats way too much sausage and cheese and drinks beer by the gallon?

Adams Axiom: The major difference between something that might go wrong and something that can not possibly go wrong is that when a thing that can not possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
He would fit in perfectly at a packers or brewers game. Actually... I could see him as one of the Brewers Sausage Race things....
Photoshoppers?

Dear OP- Maybe it's been mentioned once or ten times, but perhaps you could enlighten us as to how you got this info? We're you there? Was a friend? Did you read this somewhere else? Help a pack of brothers out.
I have a hard time believing this. I would think that even Dantonio would have enough self-control to squelch his Michigan hatred for a little bit.
Our toils obscure an' a' that,
The rank is but the guinea's stamp,
The man's the gowd for a' that.
Apparently you can do that when you go 1-4 in bowl games with 0 BCS wins.
What a dickhead.
Special Teams means special times!
You have to go to Rose Bowls before you can lose them.

lol jelly doughnut of a team huh? Too bad VaTech's D was far more impressive than any team in the B1G this year..
and don't fool yourself.. MSU's D won't save their offense next year. You won't come close to sniffing the rose bowl
It would impress me if Sparty could ever get to a Rose Bowl, yes. I'm not sure Sparty could even find Pasadena on a map if we spotted you the state of California, considering it's been since like the Kennedy administration the last time you went. I'm not worried though: Middle Tennessee will win a national title before Sparty goes to a Rose Bowl.

You should be banned for even comparing Dantonio to Bo. Get that garbage out of here.
Edit: This was in reply to a Sparty Troll

I didn't read your entire post, but how many times did Bo act like a total clown when somebody was giving a presentation at a coaching conference?
I meant to say BCS appearances, my bad.
Special Teams means special times!
Welllll....there was no BCS in Bo's day, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.
If you want to talk Rose/Fiesta/Sugar/Orange Bowls, he has exactly as many wins (3) as the entire Spartan program. Not the best example for you to pick, IMO.
Go Blue!
Oh dear, the RCMB has picked up on this and called it "imaginary." I guess we've been put in our places u guyz.

If you want to preserve any faith that you might have in America's future, don't read the RCMB.
Oh I know. I only go for the 'freude.

At Michigan, "that's what we try to do; sixty minutes of unnecessary recruiting."

Sparty gonna spart. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out in the mainstream media if true. (Looking at you Freep)

Nuke this garbage. No sense letting it come to life.
Most ridiculous fan base on earth... Even some of our posters are off keel but they all run with it and believe it as factual without seeing any link or proof of it happening.
They left out the part where after the speech, Hecklinski scurried off to the coaches lounge and sodomized a baby panda.
See I can make up stuff too.

When the ADept sells special jerseys and gear, you'll see my picture next to the targeted customer crowd. A sheep.....but a Blue one.....
Well he should be happy that said screen cap will not be lasting long...UW is gonna move up a ton with their new recruiter, UMD has a good shot with Diggs I've read, and Rutgers may be the only place Wright lands...
Seems about right to me - I recall Saban left MSU because he was epically frustrated recruiting kids to EL. Something along the lines of "to get to EL, you have to drive by Ann Arbor and South Bend from almost any direction"

For the two dozen or so request for SpreadGuru to confirm his source...
I'm assuming that SpreadGuru is there, in a session now and will update between breaks... probably why he hasn't updated since.
But we shall see... Makes no sense to make this up knowing it could be confirmed/denied by so many in attendance.
Go Blue

Me fail English? That's unpossible!
OMG I can't wait to ask Brandstatter about this.
The exact context would be nice. I dont like Dantonio, but exactly what made him say this?

Kudos to MLive for not sitting on this story, as some outlets might. It should now get picked up elsewhere.
Hmmm, I don't know if it's just me or does that writer sound MSU biased on this.
1. Reported facts
2. Wellllllllll..... it's not as bad as it seems
3. Dantonio Quote
4. Nothing to see here
Right, and the portion where he said both sides chalked it up to a misunderstanding over the format? Are you serious? Clearly that is why Heck said "Look, I understand my place," Jayson. Either he's purposely distorting facts or he is doesn't understand what happened.
Thanks for finding the confirmation. Can we get this link as a reply earlier in the thread or even copied by the Mod's or OP into the original post to assuage the hoards?
Now we know what the real issue was. Dantonio was mad because Hoke was at the Bear Bryant Award ceremony. It all makes sense now.
Unfortunately that article does not really address the question of whether Hecklinski's presentation was appropriate for the forum. You'd think the author could have given a bit better context.
Unless Heck was talking about something disparaging/lewd/etc., why does that matter?


I've said this before, but I think Dantonio is the absolute perfect fit for that institution. I don't think there's a better example out there of a head football coach who embodies the attitudes, feelings, and behaviors of his program's fans.
