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.

What the hell is up with your Username?

Made WELL prior to the whole Jerry Sandusky news breaking, it was intended to satirze Hoke's recruitment success in ohio with that of Pedobear. Hence my somewhat creepy tagline. If I could've ever gotten my avatar to upload, it would've show pedobear with a winged helmet on.
At the time, this was hilarious to me.
I no longer find it funny...my sense of humor has evolved, and Jerry Sandusky ruined everything for everyone. Blurbtown.

You only have 28 points, you could start all over. I also think you can change your name.
January 20th, 2012 at 12:08 PM ^
You only have 28 pts, which will likely go down, it's not too late to start fresh.
Edit: Hoek beat me to it. Great minds...errr something like that.
January 20th, 2012 at 12:10 PM ^
I'd email the mods for a name change if I was you. You'd also be wise to never again admit you were going to put our colors on pedobear. That's a trip to Bolivia and then some right here.
Edit: Third place!
January 20th, 2012 at 12:11 PM ^
You might consider changing it. You can do that under the "My Account" section.
January 20th, 2012 at 12:27 PM ^
Eff it!!!! If im gonna change my account/name anyways, i might as well have this one go down in a blaze of glory.
NEGBOMB ME BITCHES!!!
BOLIVIA HERE I COME!
January 20th, 2012 at 12:38 PM ^
You don't ask to go to Bolivia. Bolivia will find you.
January 20th, 2012 at 12:53 PM ^
a) Choose a new username. You can edit in the "My account" tab.
b) Create a new account.I'll give you 30 free points.
c) DOOOOOOOOOOOM
January 20th, 2012 at 12:56 PM ^
okay, how do i message you my new username? i don't really want to be associated with my old account...too many demons and all
January 20th, 2012 at 1:12 PM ^
I can e-mail you, or you can post something in the mod sticky thread (http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/moderator-action-sticky-1) with your new name and I'll delete your comment. Or you can just post here; I don't think anyone will hold a grudge. They just want a name change in light of, you know, the continued existence of Penn State.
January 20th, 2012 at 1:40 PM ^
in the mod sticky thread
January 20th, 2012 at 6:01 PM ^
In the sticky something.
January 20th, 2012 at 10:58 AM ^
Good god... I didn't think even Dantonio would sink so low. I really hope this shows up in the DetNews or something so I can rub it in all the Sparty's faces who insist Dantonio is a classy guy.
January 20th, 2012 at 4:57 PM ^
January 20th, 2012 at 5:03 PM ^
You underestimate the Sparties. There are many who believe Dantanio was right to do that.
January 20th, 2012 at 10:58 AM ^
To shout anything out during someone's presentation is quite rude, especially something negative. Sounds like it would be something Homer would say to be obnoxious on the Simpsons. Maybe he was waiting for a presentation on tooth maintainance so his gums no longer look like they're filled with put out cigarettes.
January 20th, 2012 at 10:59 AM ^
Maybe he wanted him to review The Detroit News Dream Team that is heading to Ann Arbor this summer.
January 20th, 2012 at 11:00 AM ^
Same guy who engaged in a public verbal slapfight with a player from a rival team. A college kid. Dantonio is a child. And good on Mike Hart, and apparently, Hecklinski, for goading it out of him.
January 20th, 2012 at 11:11 AM ^
I don't think it took any goading. It sounds like Hecklinski was actually prepared to speak on an appropriate topic and Dantonio realized he sounded like an ass for just blabbing about his team's greatness. Commence childish outburst.
January 20th, 2012 at 11:15 AM ^
I wasn't there, but maybe Coach H, in explaining how M does things, said something that Dantonio construed as a shot at MSU and their recruiting practices. Paranoia is paranoia and Dantonio seems to have at least a touch of it.
January 20th, 2012 at 11:20 AM ^
That is possible but I still wouldn't call that goading but being honest. I wonder if Dantonio would have had the same outburst if Hoke was speaking. Maybe this was a combination of paranoia and an inferiority complex. Either way, if the truth hurts, say ouch. I wonder if Dantonio has a dog. If so, it must have sore ribs and a size 8 shoe print on its side.
January 20th, 2012 at 11:23 AM ^
Can we stop with the inferiority complex thing? It sounds kind of ridiculous when we've lost the last 4 games.
January 20th, 2012 at 11:29 AM ^
The inferiority complex relates to a lot more than just football.
And even if we've lost 4 years, it doesn't really matter.. 67-32 speaks for itself.
January 20th, 2012 at 11:33 AM ^
and a lot more than just the last 4 games.
January 20th, 2012 at 11:30 AM ^
He has an inferiority complex because he's beaten us 4 in a row and he's still crying like a baby. A confident person would just say "scoreboard" and move on.
January 20th, 2012 at 12:34 PM ^
If the talk was on recruiting, there's not much of a "scoreboard" claim that Dantonio could make.
January 20th, 2012 at 11:30 AM ^
You don't honestly believe that four straight wins and an inferiority complex are mutually exclusive, do you?
January 20th, 2012 at 11:33 AM ^
No, I don't, but that doesn't make it sound any less ridiculous.
January 20th, 2012 at 11:58 AM ^
Yes it does.
January 20th, 2012 at 12:02 PM ^
You don't think watching a team you've beaten four times in a row get a BCS bowl bid before you, steal all your recruits, and get all the national attention you think you deserve would give you an inferiority complex?
January 20th, 2012 at 11:56 AM ^
Did you happen to see the reactions from Coupons and Bell after their last two games?
Lose B1G Champ game -> whine about Michigan
Win bowl game -> whine about Michigan
And like others said, it's way bigger than footbaw.
January 20th, 2012 at 2:20 PM ^
They were even throwing shots at Denard for being in the crowd at the basketball game on Tuesday.
Just remember that at the end of the day we go to sleep as Michigan and they don't.
January 20th, 2012 at 1:44 PM ^
Even after 4 straight wins, the inferiority complex throbs just as much as it ever did.
Hell, even if they actually established a state of long-term dominance in football - which they are far from doing - they'd still have it.
January 20th, 2012 at 1:51 PM ^
No. They have an inferiority complex, and always will. It's not ridiculous in the least to say so.
January 20th, 2012 at 10:57 PM ^
Becaue they are inferior.
They may be pitiful, but at least they are observant.
January 20th, 2012 at 6:06 PM ^
The right reaction is to take the high road and it sounds like that is exactly what Jeff did. The less we say about the matter the more of an ass Dantonio becomes and the more it helps us. We only need to let Dantonio be himself and eventually the truch will come out about how big a douche he really is.
January 20th, 2012 at 11:01 AM ^
not to doubt the OP, but I'd reserve some judgement until we hear the actual interview or get independent confirmation of the context of the exchange. Not that Dantonio isn't a total DB, just sayin......
January 20th, 2012 at 11:04 AM ^
what a D-Bag. from the info you provided it sounds like dantonio's speech was OT and completely missed the mark, while hecklinski was actually talking about what he was supposed to
January 20th, 2012 at 11:01 AM ^
Dantonio was going to be late for his flight to Toledo.
January 20th, 2012 at 11:03 AM ^
lol this almost sounds too good to be true. How stupid can Dantonio get? I could see this coming from some high school kids bursting out and saying that, but a college football coach?
way to sounds like a child.. what a bitch
January 20th, 2012 at 11:03 AM ^
What a weirdo.
January 20th, 2012 at 12:31 PM ^
Strange duck, strange duck.
January 20th, 2012 at 11:04 AM ^
Where did you get this info?
January 20th, 2012 at 11:05 AM ^
I actually like Dantonio. He's like a well-crafted Bond villain.
January 20th, 2012 at 11:11 AM ^
How sweet would it be if there was a Goldeneye type game where I'm Brady Hoke in black pants and a Michigan polo shirt, and the other characters are Dantonio, Tressel, Bielema, Meyer, Rosenberg, Sharp, Snyder
January 20th, 2012 at 11:15 AM ^
There are certain games that are moddable enough to make this completely possible.... and it would be tremendous
January 20th, 2012 at 11:49 AM ^
There is a goldeneye mod, based off the half life engine done by valve that is awesome..
could easily put the faces off hoke and dantonio on characters if you had the modding ability
