Time for a caption thread
So Brian gave us this photo on the front page today.
Supposedly from the B1G media day. Brian offered a thought for Pelini, but after looking at this, I think every coach has a little something on the mind. Here's my crack at it:
Left to right top to bottom:
Wilson - did I really just accept the Indiana job? Crap.
Bielma - Are those hot dogs over there?
Pelini - God I hate this part of my job.
Hope - Am I really here? They must like my mustach.
Paterno - Why are they making me stand back here, I'm Joe Freaking Paterno, let me sit
Ferentz - Psssst, hey Joe, I think I see a rocking chair over there.
Fitzgerald - they like me, everyone really likes me.
Dantonio - I am a really little man and that makes me angry, oh wait, I'm supposed to try and smile.
Zook - look at the pretty butterfly
Fickell - did I really just shit my pants or does it only feel like it. Hope nobody else smells that.
Kill - I am a very small man with a very large job infront of me
Hoke - it's Michigan fergodsakes, or should it be gosh, nope, god it is, sounds tougher.

Well done, sir.
November 15th, 2011 at 3:29 PM ^
WELCOME TO BIG TEN COACHING DIVERSITY DAYS!
buzz cuts over here, oily comb overs over there
November 15th, 2011 at 3:59 PM ^
Dude, please change that avatar, I CANNOT stop laughing like an insane hyena everytime I see it. Everyone at work must think I'm completely mental.
November 15th, 2011 at 3:30 PM ^
I just hope I never have to sit next to him on an airplane, because you know he is getting the armrests for the whole flight.
November 15th, 2011 at 3:33 PM ^
I bet Jerry said something about Hoke's and that's why he got 56 put on his ass.
November 15th, 2011 at 3:48 PM ^
his knees crowded pretty well too. Won't be able to sleep on that flight.
November 15th, 2011 at 4:02 PM ^
Just another post worth so much more than 5 pts.!
November 15th, 2011 at 3:33 PM ^
Dantonio: "I AM a douchebag."
November 15th, 2011 at 4:34 PM ^
Hope and Bielema joined Dantonio in that proclamation.
November 15th, 2011 at 6:35 PM ^
Zook: Damn, I'd rather be waterskiing...
November 15th, 2011 at 3:34 PM ^
Well said! Made my day!!
November 15th, 2011 at 3:38 PM ^
Pelini- "Woah! Look at the cans on that 18 year old Luke brought here!"
November 15th, 2011 at 3:38 PM ^
2 things.....Hoke's got Tony Soprano hands, and the Zook one made me LOL
November 15th, 2011 at 3:41 PM ^
Seriously - why is he standing in the back? That's like taking a family photo and making your 90-year-old grandma stand in the back. I think that the "let women sit" rule applies here to Paterno as well.
November 15th, 2011 at 3:42 PM ^
Paterno: "I can't wait to come back next year! Nothing can stop me from coaching!"
November 15th, 2011 at 3:42 PM ^
"Hey Joe, is that story you were talking about earlier going to break before or after we play you?"
November 15th, 2011 at 3:48 PM ^
Pelini: My prostate needs to be checked? Here Brett?
Bielema: Got ya hooked up, Bo. Just keep breathing.
Fickell: Can Tress hook me up with the Colts? Maybe be Andrew Luck's valet?
Indiana's coach: Only one of the bunch I didn't recognize...who knew?
November 15th, 2011 at 3:51 PM ^
Does anyone know if there is a higher resolution version of this picture?
November 15th, 2011 at 3:53 PM ^
Wilson: The wife warned me not to wear this white suit. Everybody else is laughing at me. Even Bielma’s ashamed and won’t stand near me.
Bielma: Are those hot dogs over there?
Pelini: Did Danny just grab my ass?
Hope: Hmm. Pelini’s got a satisfyingly firm ass.
Paterno: I gotta go to the bathroom.
Ferentz: Psst—Joe. Do you smell something?
Fitzgerlad: This is soooooooooooooo cool!
Dantonio: My evil plans are proceeding perfectly! Soon I will unleash the Dantoninator
Zook: La la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaa la la la la
Fickell: This is probably the last time I’ll ever get to be in one of these pictures.
Kill: Jeez, Brady. Ever hear of a salad?
Hoke: Tremendous!
November 15th, 2011 at 3:55 PM ^
Wilson - Is Indiana in the Big Ten?
Bielma - I really hope we're ready for our non-conference schedule this year.
Pelini - No thoughts. The "man" in the photo is a Bo Pelini Real Doll.
Hope - I don't even remember growing this mustache, but we were all so hopped up on disco and amyls* in those days that no one really remembers anything.
Paterno (muttering) - "This should all be find as long as no one ever asks about..."
Ferentz - What the hell is Joe talking about?
Fitzgerald - Dantonio thinks I like him. That's hilarious!
Dantonio - Take the picture now or I am going to snap your g-ddamn little neck.
Zook - Just smiling like this has got me a long way.
Fickell - They are going to fire me unless I can make it to the Rose Bowl with a freshman at QB and with my best RB, OT,and WR out for at least five games.
Kill - I just ate a possum.
Hoke - I have no injuries to report.
*Apologies to Arrested Development.
November 15th, 2011 at 3:56 PM ^
Bielma: *sniff* what is small? Oh, man, I think somebody farted. Who did that? I'm gonna figure out who did that and kick his ass! Was that you, Pelini?
Pelini: (don't react... act natural... just ignore him...)
Dantonio: :-)
Hoke: Hija, Jerry Kill. First year on the job for you too, huh?
Kill: Yessir. You're going to have it tough living up to expectations at Michigan. I'm glad I'm coaching for a school where the fans are more laid back and reasonable! I'll have plenty of time to build my program without having to deal with detractors.
Paterno: Zzzzz...
Ferentz: *pssst* Joe! Wake up! Picture time!
Wilson: Damnit, you guys told me we were all wearing our tan suits. What the hell?
Fitzgerald: :-)
Zook: All right, I love picture day! Smile for the camera... man, this seat is really warm. What's up with that?
Fickell: I want my mommy.
Hope: I had yer mommy... she wasn't that great. MUSTACHE RIDE!
November 15th, 2011 at 3:58 PM ^
especially for a boring Tuesday. Here goes:
Wilson - Why do all of the other coaches keep asking me who I am and then laughing when I tell them that I am the new coach of Indiana?
Bielma - Man, an I taller than all of these other guys? Yup, I am. Cool. Hey all of you down there.
Pelini - Taking pictures pisses me off. Being pissed off about taking pictures pisses me off. Why do so many things piss me off? I don't know, but it pisses me off.
Hope - Where did that mexican guy who used to coach Michigan go. I wasn't finished giving him a piece of my mind. No way am I going to mouth off to their new guy - he looks like a tank.
Paterno - Eh, the camera isn't really pointing at us, but it isn't really my job to worry about that, since it doesn't impact the football team, so I will just sit here and look senile.
Ferentz - I am so bored right now, which is awesome, because I LOVE boring.
Fitzgerald - I hope I get an extra copy of this pic to send to my mom so that she can put it on her fridge. She is going to be so proud right now.
Dantonio - Need to find a moment when nobody is looking so that I can take a swing at one of these coaches, just to show my team how it is done.
Zook - I've got it!!! If we punt on second down from inside the red zone, nobody will see it coming. hehehe, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
Fickell - If I stay real still and pretend that I am dtaring at the ground, nobody will notice me. PLease, nobody notice me.
Kill - Wow, this Hoke guy is pretty cuddly.
Hoke - blue shirt - check. yellow tie - check. Go Blue!
November 15th, 2011 at 4:01 PM ^
Thought everyone would find this interesting "Well, there's this: just confirmed that the infamous Lloyd Brady will be the Daily's guest picker this week." per Tim Rohan's twitter account
November 15th, 2011 at 4:04 PM ^
"Paterno: 'I've got to go to the bathroom.'" - My Dad's 83 and he said the exact same thing last Thanksgiving as we were leaving the club.* He looks a lot like Joe P when he walks around. (* - My uncle and dad live in Grosse Pointe and my brother and I cook Christmas dinner, but not T'giving.)
November 15th, 2011 at 4:17 PM ^
Who cooks for Independence Day?
November 15th, 2011 at 4:14 PM ^
WILSON: I can't believe I just said we were going to be competitive this year
BEILMA: I'm starving...oh look guys they are bringing the buffet out!
PELINI: Oh crap, I forgot...somthing, what was it?
HOPE: My mustache is way better manicured than the photographers
PATERNO: I hope my diaper isn't showing.
FERENTZ: What'd you just mumble Joe?
FITZGERALD: FML
DANTONIO: I can't wait til my interview with ohio.
ZOOK: My punter is sooooo awesome this year guys, just wait, you'll see.
FICKELL: Oh lord Jesus please don't release our emails to ESPN.
KILL: I'll just squeeze right in between you Brady and Luke, don't mind me.
HOKE: Michigan, Michigan, Michigan, Michigan, Meeeeechigan. That sounds so cool.
November 15th, 2011 at 5:22 PM ^
looks like he just saw Paterno and Sandusky showering backstage before he walked out
November 15th, 2011 at 4:42 PM ^
Hoke looks like he forgot his suit was dry clean only. Throw in a salad fergodsakes.
November 15th, 2011 at 5:03 PM ^
"well...."
November 15th, 2011 at 5:18 PM ^
Hoke - If I plant my hands firmly on my knees, they wont raise up to point at something.
Dantonio - Spartans!
November 15th, 2011 at 5:34 PM ^
I am going to take the picture now. If any of you guys in the front row have a small package, put your hands in front of your crotch....
November 15th, 2011 at 7:06 PM ^
The winner
November 15th, 2011 at 10:31 PM ^
Im still laughing 10 minutes later
November 15th, 2011 at 6:01 PM ^
Hoke still looks like a middle linebacker taking this years team picture..."sit up straight, hands on your knees, and look at the camera."
November 15th, 2011 at 6:02 PM ^
"But I look a lot better when I'm pointing at things."
November 15th, 2011 at 6:11 PM ^
Wilson - I only found out about this party yesterday from Pelini's facebook wall. I can't believe they 'forgot' to invite me.
Bielema - Nice one, Bo. What did I tell you? Do your talking with your pads, between the whistles. NOT on facebook.
Pelini - Holy shit I'm part of the B1G! This is so. awesome.
Hope - *devious, indiscernible whispering into Fickell's ear*
Paterno - They SAID they were taking me to Cracker Barrel.
Ferentz - Joe! Look at Pelini, he forgot to wear his school-colored tie!
Fitzgerald - I'm still the youngest & coolest. Take that, Luke!
Dantonio - How come nobody respects me? I will attempt to perform a - what do you call it? - a 'smile', so they won't know it hurts.
Zook - Jelly beans. Light bulb. Rainbows. I KNOW WHAT THE VOICES MEAN!
Fickell - ... the hell is wrong with you, Danny? You've been emailing pictures of WHAT to my placekicker all season? This can't be good.
Kill - Why did they put me between these two mammoths, I can't even breathe.
Hoke - Keep it together, Brady ... Resist the urge to point at things. DO. NOT. POINT.
November 15th, 2011 at 6:28 PM ^
*under his breath, of course* "A couple recruiting classes and you're all toast...this is Michigan, fergodsakes"
November 15th, 2011 at 6:55 PM ^
Why wouldn't they split them up by division? I mean they are already in two rows, only seems like it would make sense to place them by division...
November 15th, 2011 at 9:17 PM ^
November 16th, 2011 at 1:59 AM ^
Wilson - It could be worse...I could be at Minnesota
Bielema - Hurry up and snap the picture, I see beer!
Pelini - SHIT!! I think I locked my keys in the car!
Hope - Wilford Brimley my ass. His 'stache ain't got shit on mine.
Paterno - Why am I here, and who are you guys?
Ferentz - See Joe? They didn't forget your hoveround.
Fitzgerald - Gee willikers! The only thing that would be more swell than this is if dad let's me get the keys to the DeSoto so I could take Bethanne to the drive-in tonight. I've been dying to see "The Blob"
Dantonio - Gooooooood!! Something something something darkside.
Zook - I'm still employed with a 34-49 record? Boom, Zook'd!
Fickell - FML
Kill - It could be worse...I could be at Indiana
Hoke - Laura's making baked porkchops tonight...hell yeah
November 16th, 2011 at 7:29 AM ^
Dantonio: I'm a pretty, pretty princess!
November 16th, 2011 at 11:30 AM ^
Hoke: I bet for a small guy Kill has great pad level.
