Your MGoAvatar is the new HC for The Game

Submitted by MGoKereton on

I'm tired of being sad, so I figured why not have a little fun leading up to The Game.

Your MGoAvatar is now the new head coach at Michigan.  Congratulations!

-How would you prepare/motivate your players?

-Pregame rituals before The Game?

-How would you deal with the media?

 

Have FUN (seriously, no negative crap) and go crazy.

  1. Help Devin overcome his confidence problem by giving him a day off in Ann Arbor perusing museums, dining in fine restaurants, taking in a baseball game, and finishing off by beating the shit out of Urban Meyer's rare Ferrari.
  2. Loosening the team up pregame by reminding them that, "Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it."
  3. Perform halftime show lip-synching the Beatles' "Twist and Shout" aboard an Octoberfest-themed parade float, surrounded by buxom young ladies in lederhosen.

Though the Bear Jew is world reknowned for his toughness and dietary ingenuity (prepare for lots of salmon and berries o-line!) his off-season conditioning program of hibernation has yet to produce optimal results in strength gains. 

 

The fact he would refuse to coach on Shabbat might also be an issue since The Game is still scheduled for Saturday before sundown.

Despite his limitations, he would most likely maul the Free Press press corps at his first presser . . . only if they're kosher though.

He at least merits an interview.

First silence dissenting voices in the media through threats or buying them off.

Next, implement a little "blue book" (could not be red obviously)

Finally,  put up giant posters all over featuring me and my staff wiith words like "toughness, physical, youth, and execution" under them.

A confident nod from Amadou Ba is all you need to accomplish anything in life.  He is also big enough to throw Borges out of the press box window and replace his playbook with a copy of Madden '94.  A nice mix of off-tackle (got to bounce it outside though) and hail mary will lead to victory.  90% of extra points and field goal attempts will be blocked as well once our guys learn to get super close to the line and come hard off the edge.

Add strobe lights to the stadium for the wow factor. 

Make the jerseys neon colored. 

Creed performing live on a seperate stage throughout the game.

Free Pizza for everyone.

How would you prepare/motivate your players?

A - A mix tape of The Beets

Pregame rituals before The Game?

A - A hunt for the elusive nematode

How would you deal with the media?

A - Switch out of my Quailman outfit, no one could identify me without my belt headband.

I would kidnap all of the players to my secret subterranbean lair and make them answer tough existential questions through a series of life and death role playing games. Plus psychological abuse and torture.  I would also wage a guerrilla war to send both the NCAA and OSU into disarray and madness in the week prior to the Game.  Finally, we would all take the field in Guy Fawkes masks and nobody on OSU would have any idea who it was they were playing against.  

 

Victory would surely follow.

Knowing that world dominance lies in the smouldering tip of a Maybelline eyebrow pencil, I would first shave off the player's eyebrows and draw new ones on - big, scary ones. Then I would draw Snidely Whiplash mustaches on all opponents. Facial hair, I've learned, seems to be the key to winning and losing in high level sports.

A trip to the Chicago Art Institute, with special emphasis on works showing victorious stances and acts of bravery. Would also have alternate uniforms in powder blue with ruffles.

A rousing monologue from Henry V. Would need to choose between "St. Crispins Day" and "Once More Unto the Breach".

Would require all questions to be posed in verse. All answers would reference how sportsmanly the athletes competed and note that scarlet and silver are a less-than-refined color combination.

Well, first I woulf take the team out for some spray paint huffing and then a rousing game of nightcrawlers to promote some team bonding, maybe take out some trash and kill rats while we are it (you know, kill 2 birds with one bush, which is better than 1 in the hand). Then, they all can come over to my place for a delicious and filling dinner of milk steak (boiled over hard of course) and raw jelly beans. For game day itself, I will surprise the team with new uniforms: Hot pants that Frank and I found under the bridge. The hot pants will give the team an unmatched flexibility that will surely win the game. Go Bloo, Charlie.

im scaring the crap out of osu before the game with the sounds of 530 horses roaring out of the magna flows'

 

then a smoke show before each reverse to throw off the defense,  and to hide our blitzes...

 

 

will open the t-tops for the sweet fade up the sideline...

 

 

will celebrate with the sweet sounds of night ranger and pantera as we put the player of the game on top to parade around the stadium

is a mix of John L. Smith and Kevin Borseth.  My pet pig will be the running back and the boy band I kidnapped will help us win the game.  Every play is a trick play.  or not.  who knows.  I'm taller than Dipper.

1)  I'd tell them the expectation is for the position

2) I wash myself with a rag on a stick before The Game

3) I would deny the validity of the bubble screen.

I'm not sure about preparing the players, but there will be no laces in our Adidas. I'd deal with the media by answering all questions with "You Talk Too Much" lyrics, and listening to "Down with the King" will be a part of our pregame ritual. Also, instead of the coaches shaking hands after Michigan wins, Meyer will kiss my class ring.
