Hoke lookalikes go mainstream
From my day job. Unfortunately my co-worker Jack is an OSU fan. I hate him and plan to kill him later this afternoon.
Real takeaway here is how much better shape Hoke is in than Chris Christie. Man. Maybe consider getting an elliptical to fall off the back of a FEMA truck. #nopolitico

#6 looks like the closest comparison.
November 26th, 2012 at 12:49 PM ^
Chritsite resembles Front Butt more than anyone else.
November 26th, 2012 at 12:59 PM ^
November 26th, 2012 at 1:12 PM ^
Except Hoke doesn't have a FUPA.

I've always thought jabs at Hoke's weight are overdone. Of course, this is partially because I am less than a year apart from Hoke in age, and am large myself (6'3", 299 pounds) without being morbidly obese.
One thing, at mgoblog and other Michigan sites, is that we haven't been above taking potshots at other coaches with (ahem) weight problems.
- Exhibit A: Charlie Weis.
- Exhibit B: Phillip Fulmer.
I would only expect fat jokes to come out of Columbus and East Lansing, at least until Hoke loses 50 pounds or so. And neither Urban Meyer nor Mark Dantonio appear to be overweight.

Remind me to never fuck with you in real life

Maybe Hoke can lend Meyer a chin, in the meantime.

But Weis and Mangina, er, Mangino were ripe for the picking.
November 26th, 2012 at 1:16 PM ^
I think both Hoke and Mattison have lost some weight and look in better shape than they did last year.

They definitely share a common ancestor.

...is a large guy so having a big gut is somewhat expected. The really scary problem is that there's so much fat in his head that he doesn't even know the correct name of our biggest rival. It's Ohio State, not just Ohio (which is actually and entirely different school.)
It'll be interesting to see how nasty things get when he's inevitably run out of town.

I was afraid someone would post this. Please no Captain Front Butt!!
Hoke would be President if he was involved in politics hahaha
November 26th, 2012 at 4:25 PM ^
agreed. our man has 100% less front butt.
November 26th, 2012 at 2:19 PM ^

Bill Snyder would be a good grandpa.

Hoke is fat but Christie is at Weis like proportions.
November 26th, 2012 at 3:18 PM ^
November 26th, 2012 at 7:10 PM ^
November 26th, 2012 at 3:20 PM ^
Is quite the honor.
November 26th, 2012 at 3:25 PM ^
I do not see the comparison. Christie wore long sleeves in all those pictures.
November 26th, 2012 at 3:37 PM ^
Fat jokes are for lazy people.
November 26th, 2012 at 3:38 PM ^
#3 is eerie - like he's staring through your soul.
November 26th, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
in #5
"Welllllll, I think you will bring me that Sugar Bowl trophy"

is that there are people much fatter than Brady, and also Chris Christie has bad skin.
Maybe Lochdog can come up with a slick new ad campaign. Brady Hoke: great coach, more svelte than Chris Christie, nice skin.
November 26th, 2012 at 4:50 PM ^
I mean lets be honest.
November 26th, 2012 at 4:57 PM ^
in the middle of the season, on the Stony & Bill (and Sara) Show, they brought up recent comparisons being made about he & Christie and he interrupted them to say (paraphrasing) "I keep seeing him and thinking, what a good looking man he is!"
i had a good laugh.

While reading this, I realized—I fucking love Brady Hoke and couldn't not smile when looking at him commanding the troops. Damn.
November 27th, 2012 at 4:03 AM ^
Bet that he will immediately go on a diet and end becoming thinner than Jim Tressel.
