I think Hoke uses the countdown clocks and the other stuff not to emphasize the game, but rather, to give the team something to focus upon on a daily basis. The OSU game will always be there as a carrot at the end of the season. Emphasizing "The Game" is an effective way to motivate players year round. "Beat Ohio", is a singular unifying galvanizing force at Hoke's disposal for the duration of his career to get players to do more and give more on a daily basis than they otherwise might.
Why did players spend extra time in film study? To beat Ohio
Why did players do all the seven on seven drills in the summer? To beat Ohio
The list could go on and on and on. Brilliant on Hoke's part

The players

Well, I think that they will be too busy preparing to play for Hoke in a BCS BOwl (!!!) to think about it.

it seems that he has at least
it seems that he has at least
It does seem that he has at least adopted adapting his coaching style to fit his players. I think that made his transition here a little more difficult. His experience at Michigan will make him a better coach in Arizona, I think. Could be wrong, just my opinion.
If you have to ask twice it means that you didn't get it the first time.

Can you break down what we actually need to happen this weekend to make it to a BCS game?
All in for some manball.

I wasn't aware Rodriguez ever coach a juggernaut. If you think Michigan was a juggernaut before he came you better grab a dictionary because Michigan definately does not fit the the definition in any way.

I'm looking forward to seeing his Arizona team play football.

How many of the things he in his 48 hours were predicted in the "If Rich Rod Learned Anything At Michigan, He Will..." thread. Nice predictions, MGoBloggers.
Mentioning "Bear Down" with enthusiasm, meeting with a core of former pros and being unblinking yet polite about firing the existing staff are 3 that come to mind.

Happy for us and RR

When you hear your ex-girlfriend started dating somebody new (even when you decided to break up with her, it kind of hits your self esteem a little bit...
unless you're already dating a new smokeshow. In which case, you're probably pretty happy for your ex-gf if she's a decent person.
Big collection of RR to AZ coverage:

populated with such real Michigan fans. I totally fail in this regard as I only have 3 degrees from the school and think there are more important things (like integity, the University and its acedemic programs, etc.) than winning football games.
Oh, and Bo had a losing record against Earl Bruce. I guess by your logic, clearly Bruce emphasized the game more than Bo. But Bo did have an astounding record agains Indiana, so he must have really been emphasizing that one.
This emphasizing the game stuff is so fucking stupid and orginates with Tressel. Under Tressel, OSU won because they had a better game plan and better players. Carr didn't stop emphasizing the game after Cooper was fired, He out-coached Cooper and was out-coached by Tressel.
This is akin to if Tressel had said that OSU had to have more emphasis on team circle-jerks before "the game" people would be attributing his success and our failures on our not emphasizing pre-game team circle-jerks enough.
Better players and better gameplans win games, not hollow platitudes and stupid countdown clocks.
