Hoke-A-Mania!!!! He's "Dominating"
Amazing how the tune has changed at the Freep. Good article by Jamie Samuelson

on how long till we get a maize and blue tear-a-way "Hokeamania" shirt and matching bandana in the MGoStore??
January 14th, 2011 at 11:57 PM ^
From the tone of things on the main page, I'd guess it'll be awhile before we see that type of eeeeeeeeeeeeee Hoke! enthusiasm.....
January 15th, 2011 at 2:33 AM ^
True, but MGoCapitalism cannot be stopped--it's just a matter of time. Also, to paraphrase Michael Jordan: "Hoke fans buy shoes too."
January 14th, 2011 at 9:30 PM ^
it is very nice and fluffy in that article
January 14th, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
Hey buddy, it's been a while! Are you still glowing about the way that whole Lizzy Seeberg thing blew right past Our Lady?
=)
January 16th, 2011 at 1:11 AM ^
Nah just glowing about the best front 7 recruiting class in the country =)
January 14th, 2011 at 9:42 PM ^
I'm a big fan of the Obama-esque, "Hoke".
January 14th, 2011 at 11:33 PM ^
I sure hope not. Let's hope this isn't another 'had me at the press conference, ended up being a colossal fucking disappointment that shredded all remaining optimism' type of hire like we had in 2008. Michigan's all I got left.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:40 PM ^
Let's get these babies in the MGoStore...they need some new inventory.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:44 PM ^
Audacity of Hoke.
January 15th, 2011 at 1:02 AM ^
I hope that audacity doesn't stretch to calling a draw play on third and 9.
January 15th, 2011 at 1:31 AM ^
As long as it's a dilithium-powered quarterback draw.
January 15th, 2011 at 9:12 AM ^
And well done. You may keep your fingers for another thread!
January 14th, 2011 at 9:34 PM ^
When's the "I Am A Real Michigan Man" song getting released?
January 14th, 2011 at 9:35 PM ^
Out of respect to our former coach, I'm going to continue ignoring the freep, unless it involves another humiliation of one Drew Sharp (or any of his loyal band of misfits).
January 14th, 2011 at 9:41 PM ^
... What the Freep did to RichRod, they did to all of of us. Let's not so easily forget. The paper is a joke, and any fluff pieces they do on Hoke only futher evinces the true nature of the malcontents at the Freep.
January 14th, 2011 at 10:14 PM ^
January 15th, 2011 at 12:22 AM ^
Fucking amazing. A complete fabrication. By the accounts of everyone involved -- Coach Rodriguez, Coach Carr, Ryan Mallett, teammates -- what Jamie Samuelsen wrote was a total lie. A defamation of Rich Rodriguez. I suppose that the Freep defense might be, "He's not really one of our writers. He's a radio guy who occasionally blogs for us. Don't blame us. We don't edit his crap." That's the best case scenario for the Freep, with respect to Jamie Samuelsen.
January 15th, 2011 at 12:48 AM ^
The freep represents everything bad about the media in general, and the decaying world of newspapers in specific. This is nothing new but NEVER FORGET.
January 15th, 2011 at 1:03 AM ^
Never ever.

Fox 2 and WDFN don't know who should discipline him for his "RichRod -- he gone" 20 hours before it actually happened? I'm cool with the coaching change, but I would have loved to see him retained to see Armani crawl his way out of that hole.
January 15th, 2011 at 2:36 AM ^
Along with the fact that their writing is just overall shitty, and Drew Sharp apparently is still trying to keep the Blue down. I was so happy to see Hoke's raction to Sharp's crappy question.
January 15th, 2011 at 9:33 AM ^
Yes, I too witnessed the Hoke beat down of Drew Douche Sharp at the presser, something about multiple Big Ten rings and a nat'l champ ring, good response...
January 15th, 2011 at 8:57 AM ^
I'm not going to read that rag out of respect for journalism standards, honesty and the University of Michigan. I'm not interested in reading or debating anything about Rodriguez's stay at Michigan unless I'm going to learn something important or at least make me reconsider something. That would semingly preclude all newspaper columns.
January 14th, 2011 at 9:35 PM ^
Sorry if someone has brought this up, but the band played it at the BBall game last night...there was a poll on detnews.com asking if it should be played at the Big House. My first thought: Oh God, please no! But then I got chills thinking about 110,000 people doing the hokey-pokey in the 4th quarter, with the scoreboard reading Michigan: 35, Ohio State: 7.
January 14th, 2011 at 10:30 PM ^
Yes on the scoreboard reading UM 35, OSU 7.
No on the Hokey Pokey.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:17 PM ^
It's better than 110,000 people trying to do the Chicken Dance.........
January 15th, 2011 at 5:16 PM ^
UGLY!
January 15th, 2011 at 1:34 AM ^
But what about 109,901 doing the Chicken Dance?
January 15th, 2011 at 2:42 AM ^
It would probably just be 109,900. Fritz Crisler DOES NOT do the chicken dance.
January 15th, 2011 at 1:51 PM ^
... this, for instance, would be pretty awesome...
January 14th, 2011 at 10:30 PM ^
No on the mass hokey pokey, but I like the scoreboard part.
January 14th, 2011 at 10:39 PM ^
Might be tough...
January 14th, 2011 at 11:15 PM ^
e.g. Hang on Sloopy
January 14th, 2011 at 11:35 PM ^
FUCK THAT FUCKING SONG
This is all the more reason that the Hokey Pokey must never, never become a fixture at Michigan Stadium. The Hokey Pokey would be like the HIV to the claw's chlamydia.
January 15th, 2011 at 1:04 AM ^
Three Chord Jam! Unfortunately that's two higher then most tSIO graduates can count.
January 14th, 2011 at 9:37 PM ^
I doubt anything has changed. Rest assured that douchebag Rosie is hard at work on his next smear piece to try to torpedo the program in order to advance his sorry career.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:08 PM ^
January 14th, 2011 at 11:49 PM ^
I wish Hogan had stayed with "Eye of the Tiger," but you can't go wrong with Rick Derringer doing your theme song.
January 14th, 2011 at 9:55 PM ^
January 15th, 2011 at 12:56 PM ^
RR coined it and it doesn't belong here anymore. RR was treated like crap here and that phrase needs to be let go since it's obvious that not everyone was All in for Michigan. I will still expect the same 9-3 record for next season though since by former Lloyd players accounts we have got the greatest coach since sliced Lloyd, oops meant bread. A monster recruiter who surely must not have a Michigan phone yet since Jack Tabb never got a return call.
January 14th, 2011 at 10:21 PM ^
now that he will win the presidency in 2012! Hoke for Prethident!
January 15th, 2011 at 1:04 AM ^
Ith that you?

January 14th, 2011 at 10:43 PM ^
"All in' was OK, but definitely implied a sense of painful obligation...looking for something more uplifting.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:29 PM ^
"If you're not a Michigan fan, then fuck you."
January 14th, 2011 at 11:51 PM ^
A little harsh, but on point.
