Sound Mind and Body Camp - Picture of Hoke and Meyer

EDIT:  Damn, people - the post was simply a lighthearted (e.g. non-professional)  opportunity for analysis of the photo's subjects.   No need to agree with my personal analysis but I can't see why it's deserving of the malice shown below.  You guys are grumpy today....cheer up. 

 

I saw this picture and couldn't help but think how well it captures the essence of Brady Hoke and Urban Meyer.  Brady is giving his attention to the two gentlemen that have cooked and served what appear to be some killer ribs; Urban is posing for the camera. 

Normal guy who who relates to virtually everyone and truly is interested in people  v. slick talking pretty boy who uses people.  Regardless of whatever happens on the field in the next few years, advantage Michigan.

Necessary for a chicken to be considered a chicken had to have taken place inside the egg. Without that mutation, the egg would have hatched and whatever bird the chicken descended from would have come out.

Was beng taken so he didn't look up. Meyer was closer so he saw the camera and looked up. A picture from a few minutes before showed them both looking down and enjoying the ribs. It's absolutely ridiculous to think that this picture showcases the personalities of both coaches.

Those ribs that Urban Meyer is eating, were originally Mark Dantonios. Mark Dantonio has found the potato salad, which he feels he and his staff can coach up into dish that can knock out the ribs. In all fairness, when the potato salad is done assulting the competition, it serve its 1 meal suspension and be on the field in time for when the ribs arrive.
