He is going to have a big year!
Hoke's message has really sunk in for these kids, holy smokes. From doing what is expected of him, to having everybody on the team (not just him) have to step up, to their goal of a big ten championship, I hear a little bit of Hoke in every player and coach.
What is your avatar picture?? I wonder every time I see it. I have considered giant robot carrying a beam, a monster crane, and Alien defender a la The Day the Earth Stood Still...

From a video game called minecraft. It's a scale model of the heisman trophy that I made in game, took me quite a while. You can't see from the thumbnail, but there's a "16" on its chest.
They disengaged the cloaking device before they interviewed him. That would have been cooler.
[EDIT- For some reason the last comment broke the thread. Sorry to whoever I deleted]
Outside of Denard,Jeremy Gallon and Vinny Smith are my two favorite Rich Rod players.

Am I the only one who sees Snoop from The Wire when Gallon takes his helmet off?
I totally see Snoop from the Wire. I just finished the Wire over the Winter and now everything I watch I make some correlation to the wire. My wife is getting sick of me talking about Stringer Bell everytime the Prometheus trailer is on.
This is just like that time I couldn't stop talking about how awesome my new smart phone was two years after everyone else had a smart phone.
They keep referring to the event on the 14th as a "public practice" at the end of these videos, while the logo clearly advertises it as a "spring game."
March 19th, 2012 at 10:23 PM ^
not a game, so it's actually a practice. However, in the future, when Hoke is happy with depth (this may be never), it will actually return to a game.

ENGAGE CLOKING DEVICE! GO!

Denard can't throw! Michigan is going to score? Incomplete?! Get a clue
March 19th, 2012 at 10:40 PM ^
That picture scares me.

Probably not worthy of its own thread, but here's a cool video of Mike Martin and coach Mattison visitng Clinton HS's football team and speaking to them a bit. Really shows the kind of person MM is, and it was great to see Mattison there too.
March 19th, 2012 at 10:45 PM ^
I think that's worthy of a thread. Great insight into Mike Martin. I wouldn't have thought Mattison would be able to do something like that without it being a recruiting violation though. Although, those were some pretty skinny kids out there. There might not be much recruiting going on.
March 19th, 2012 at 10:42 PM ^
Anyone else notice the size of Gallon's neck? It looks enormous.
March 20th, 2012 at 12:16 AM ^
His recruiting profile says he came in at 165, video says 185. I don't find that terribly difficult to believe.

/\ UV where Gallon = Snoop originated
Gallon is so quick, runs nice routes and has excellent hands. He is one guy who uses his size to an advantage at WR. Opposing defenses can't account for him at key times of the game. Gallon is often too quick for the matchup, that they are putting on him. Its always good to have a couple WRs like Jeremy and also Drew Dileo.
In the other video, Mike Martin is the most ripped 300lber Ive ever seen in football.... he looks like a huge LB... seriously after the NFL he should go in to Mr. Olympia.
It never gets old watching the final drive against ND!

Now I wish it was August and all I want to do is play NCAA Football... =[
