Dear Snake Oil
Dear Snake Oil,
Lost in all the shuffle of this coacing change is that we must say goodbye to you. Though this may conclude our 3 year relationship, we will always be able to relive the good times. We remember when your potion was first used with Roy Roundtree. And Michael Shaw? Oh, that was fun. And the time when we thought Demar Dorsey saved us on NSD 2010? We had some good laughs, didn't we.
Perhaps we can keep a version of you for this new coaching era. What do ya say? I do think it would be inappropriate to maintain the term "snake oil" considering its close connection with the past regime. But lets not just do a clean break. That would be too difficult. I can tell you that your magical spell will be needed over these next 3 weeks. Let me know if you have any ideas.
Yours Truly,
Michigan Fans

Instead of using the "snake oil" on them I say we now pull a "hokey pokey" to get the recruit! I know kinda corny!!

Speaking of hokey pokey, I loved when the BTN was talking to Hoke at halftime you could hear the hokey pokey being played over the pa.
January 13th, 2011 at 1:26 PM ^
that recruiting was all about "touching the kids"..........maybe we could label his snake oil as the "hokey poke"
January 13th, 2011 at 1:31 PM ^
Just have Hoke read this book:

Hokus pokus
Hokem' in
Hope them recruits say, "Hokey dokey".
Let's "Hoke" up (like Hook up, not throw up)
Have a "Hoke" and a smile
No Joke, play for "Hoke"
Have a "Toke" with Hoke

Hokus pokus +1 to you sir!

How about an atomic leg drop or an invitation to the nMo( New Michigan Order)?

We need more engineers at michigan, and lawyers, and judges, and bla

I'm pretty sure Hoke has the largest pythons among the Big Ten coaches. I anticipate a lot of flexing in front of recruits followed by a hand to the ear to amplify their stunned applause.
January 13th, 2011 at 1:34 PM ^
We remember when you were conceived with Roy Roundtree.
That's just weird.
January 13th, 2011 at 1:39 PM ^

January 13th, 2011 at 2:51 PM ^
We'll miss you. It was like magic.
January 13th, 2011 at 3:13 PM ^
Can we keep the Wizard Sleeve, though?
