Things you want to see from Football 2011
What are some things you most want to see from the 2011 football season?
First and foremost, I'm hoping Coach Hoke does a lot of pointing while on the sidelines as soon as possible. The pictures we have of him;
From the old days:
From SDSU:
And in a shirt and tie at the press conference:
are just not cutting it. We need some pictures of him in sideline gear pointing at Denard going "No, you da man!"

More Cowbell.
March 21st, 2011 at 10:33 PM ^
You're really writing that after the bowl game?
March 22nd, 2011 at 12:22 AM ^
March 21st, 2011 at 10:44 PM ^
I never want to hear another cowbell again.
3rd down stops from our defense.
MOAR ABZ
He was driving a huge black Suburban, turning south onto State St. from South U. at about 4:30. It was just a brief glimpse, but from what I could see there was no pointage happening. Very disappointing.
March 21st, 2011 at 10:39 PM ^
Didn't you know? Hoke doesn't steer, he just points his car in the direction he wants it to go.
March 22nd, 2011 at 12:16 AM ^
Well done sir. That was funny.
1. Roh never dropping into pass coverage
2. Big Will fucking shit up
3. Denard smiling
4. Woolfolk healthy
http://www.fieldgulls.com/2008/6/2/544329/football-explained-left-de Hoke mentioned the three technique DT as the spot Will looks good for. This is a pretty good discussion about it. It sounds like a spot where a guy can really unleash and disrupt because of the singular responsibility.
I just keep thinking we're gonna see a player in Campbell before it's over.
March 22nd, 2011 at 12:20 PM ^
...as he's genuflecting in the endzone.
I want to see helmets with wings on them. Needless to say, I will probably be the one with the most expectations fufilled.
March 21st, 2011 at 10:02 PM ^
Will you be able to see them underneath all the stickers?
and fewer that we give up.
And a running game that extends beyond Denard.
And forcing our opponents to punt.
And then not fumbling the punt.
and Roundtree not dropping critical third-down throws.
And stopping a fourth-and-short run up the middle.
and never, ever again putting a kickoff out of bounds.
and an occasional field goal would be nice.
March 21st, 2011 at 10:21 PM ^
Because that implies that a) somebody caught the damn ball and b) the opposition had to punt.
Grittiness
Denard doing the Heisman pose in the endzone at the end of November.
I don't think you'll see Denard doing that. The closest we'll see is a repeat of him striking the pose mid-play ala ND 2010. When he scores he drops to a knee, says a prayer, and hands the ball to the official. I think he is WAY to humble to ever pull out a Desmond.
When Desmond did the Heisman pose, it was spontaneous (he says), it had never been done, it came at a huge moment and it probably clinched the trophy. That made it cool. Anyone doing it now is unoriginal and likely forcing the issue. That is not cool.
wins
1) Run stuffers
2)Sure tackles
3)More Denard smiling
4) Everything works itself out from 3
Isn't Lloyd graduating this semester?
Lloyd Brady and good linebacker play. Oh, and about 200 blitzes.
Wins a lot of wins. A lot of sad Spartans and Buckeyes, and Irish.
Spartans and Buckeyes and Irish, oh my...
He can't move far from Ann Arbor. It's like when Superman leaves the light of a yellow sun.
March 21st, 2011 at 10:08 PM ^
Michigan's first B1G Championship with the new East and West Divisions. It's going to be epic.
March 21st, 2011 at 10:00 PM ^
Muppets.
March 21st, 2011 at 10:31 PM ^
So nice you said it thrice?
March 21st, 2011 at 11:46 PM ^
And, uh, the other...
March 21st, 2011 at 10:00 PM ^
Muppets.
March 21st, 2011 at 10:00 PM ^
Muppets.
March 21st, 2011 at 10:13 PM ^
MUPPETS!
March 21st, 2011 at 10:01 PM ^
I just want our program back! I want the players to be tougher! I want the players to be bigger! Also, please put at least nine DL on the line of scrimmage. It's the ONLY way we'll ever stop Wisconsin!

Really, I'd settle for a season with everyone (fans and whatnot) "all in" and a reduction in coaching staff politics and drama. I have modest hopes for a good season with Hoke driving. So far, so good, it seems ...
March 21st, 2011 at 10:01 PM ^
F'ING FIELD GOALS MADE
March 21st, 2011 at 10:34 PM ^
I think at this point I would settle for not being absolutely certain of a missed field goal 25 yards before the ball crosses the plane of the uprights...
March 21st, 2011 at 10:11 PM ^
A quality bowl win
March 21st, 2011 at 10:14 PM ^
March 21st, 2011 at 10:19 PM ^
And toughness.
March 21st, 2011 at 10:35 PM ^
I'd be happy with competitive against everyone and a win over a single team that finishes the season ranked. That would be a huge improvement. Letting up fewer than 300 points (23 ppg) would be nice too. I'm sick of bad school records.
March 21st, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
Denard for heisman.
13-0.
Big ten Championship.
National Championship.
That's all.
March 22nd, 2011 at 12:54 PM ^
Is this too much to ask???? Come On!
"I'm not a lunatic. Seriously, i'm not.
Ok, maybe just a little bit."
March 21st, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
that is all
