Hoke's Trick? Think of Women on a beach

I'm guessing Hoke and Gibbons like brunettes after reading this quote:

“Every time we were like struggling in kicking, coach tells me to think about girls on a beach or brunette girls,” Gibbons said. “So that’s what we did. Made the kick.”

I can only hope that Hoke was watching Major League 2 when he came up with this.  But hey, whatever works.

Jake Taylor: Rube, you look at Playboy all the time, don't you? 
Rube Baker: I don't just look at it. I read the articles. 
Jake Taylor: Sure you do. 
Rube Baker: I do. I especially like it when they mention the girls' interests, like Betsy loves surfing. 
Jake Taylor: You even memorize them? 
Rube Baker: Yep. I guess I do. 
Jake Taylor: Bingo.

Hoke should have the brunette cheerleaders stand under the goalpost for field goals.

Did anyone else think they were talking about the "Burnett" girls? I was gonna google them today, figuring they must be pretty hot if the team uses them for motivation.

Hoke is a secret Jedi Master and used the force on Gibbons.  I'm sure we all shared a collective, "Oh shit" moment during the first game when Gibbons was kicking instead of Wile, but the kid came through HUGE for us this year.  Proud of that young man!
