EDSBS on B1G Media Day

Definitely worth a read

http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2011/7/28/2300879/a-summary-of-big-ten-media-days

Highlights: 

 

BRADY HOKE: The best summary of a Brady Hoke speaking engagement is to imagine Lloyd Carr using a gigantic Matt Foley puppet to address the media. The similarity in cadence is eerie, right down to repeated citations of "We're Michigan" as a justification for just about any statement Hoke wanted to make. ("I should have a large pizza up here hot and fresh right now. Why? Because we're Michigan, that's why.")  It's now all too clear why Dave Brandon hired him: because they thought he was a fat cousin of Lloyd Carr, or at least come Lama-ish future incarnation of his still-living spirit raised in the deep obese South or something.

He was fine, but seriously, this cast of coaches is the exact opposite from the polished evangelists of the SEC. Hoke looked like he'd smeared his hair flat with some half-and-half he'd gotten from the media's coffee bar.

Grade: B+

 

Here's Fickell's Picture:

 

 

BRET BIELEMA.You have to admire Bret Bielema for many reasons. He withstood the pressure of becoming the successor to Barry Alvarez and improved on his master's work, taking Wisconsin to the Rose Bowl in 2010 and maintaining the high standards of his predecessor while seeking to modernize Wisconsin's facilities and training methods. He also made it to Big Ten Media days after drinking in the sun for three days straight on a barge with Polish boatmen, a feat whose difficulty cannot be gauged.

I look forward to someone more seasoned at photoshop than me using that Fickell DERP face for some amazing works of art.

MARK DANTONIO.  Said Jim Tressel, his mentor, was "a tragic hero, but a lot of tragic heroes triumph in the end." Just like that part at the end of Hamlet when he gets up, spits out the poison, goes "I looooooooooove Kool-Aid!," and stabs Voldemort before killing Scar and becoming the leader of all the Goonies on Jurassic Island? Yes. Exactly like that.

Grade: C

COYS and lets go Detroit FC!

To blockquote, you have to switch to plain text editor (see the link below the text box), and then put <blockquote> at the beginning and </blockquote> at the end of the quotation.

Here is a really good link for HTML help, I keep it as a favorite because I always forget and have to go back.

ed: Guess I should have refreshed before posting, that's what I get for leaving the window open.

Perfect.

JOE PATERNO: Appeared to be completely aware of his surroundings, cited his close personal friend Socrates in discussing the youth of today, yelled as politely as one can to reporters to speak up, happily admitted ignorance on the new taunting rules, and whaddya'd away talk of collegiate scandal with an unimpressed "eh, there's always been that" attitude befitting someone who once coached in the same state with Jackie Sherrill and survived. Did not die on podium, and don't act like you weren't relieved this didn't happen. He's very old, and it's a concern, especially if you want him to go out like a Viking on the field after a victory like we do.
