Sports by Brooks- interesting piece on Hoke emphasizing Sparty and Ohio
Saw this piece on Sports By Brooks today regarding the countdown clocks Hoke has set up that we have all heard about before. However there is also an interesting nuggest from Dantonio, supposedly uttered during an Ohio coaches clinic in February.
“I’m from Ohio, that’s why beating Michigan is such a kick for me. … We’ll continue to do it, I promise you that!”
Dantonio’s boastful, UM-centric missive, credited as taking place on Feb. 4, 2011, doesn’t appear to have made it into print. (Which may or may not be a coincidence.) Though Dantonio was scheduled for a speech to the OHSFCA between Feb. 3-5, so there’s at least some basis to suggest that Dantonio indeed said what was duly Hoke-noted.

Nice find, but I believe this was posted a few months ago on here. I get a kick out of Dantonio. He's gonna have another heart attack when we shit-stomp the Spartans in East Lansing this year.
Making fun of someone's heart attack, even a reptile like Dantonio, is something I would expect to see on RCMB.
my father died of a massive heart attack at 52, so although I have a healthy "hatred" for D'Antonio, I think that might be a bit too far.

What I love about that quote is that Dantionio mentions nothing about MSU. Is MSU so low, that their head coach can't even say his own school is the reason he likes to be Michigan?
Doesn't say anything about his school. I wonder where the negative recruiting is coming from.
To put it simply, yes.
Hopefully and likely starting this year. But if not, by 2012 I would expect that we lose to Sparty MAYBE once every 8-10 yrs. Seriously. we're gonna start crushing them in recruiting every year and they just do not have the rep to go national and don't have the coaching talent Hoke has put together.

Can't argue with a guy whose avatar's initials spell 'NPR'
Has Hoke made any kind of statement as to why he deliberately abbreviates the expansive "The Ohio State University" to "Ohio"? First time I heard it I laughed out loud - just thought it was like the guy who likes to introduce himself as Beauregard Crandall Thurston Jermajesty IV and everybody just calls him Bob.
I believe Hoke does this because that is how Bo mentioned or spoke of that school. Woody, as we know, called us "That School up North." So I think Bo started just calling them Ohio.
...slur designed to piss 'em off just a little bit while simultaneously lowering them from the lofty perch they've created for themselves.

is more often than not Ahia. Add that to the hillbilly habit of omitting the words "to be" and it's really annoying, unless it's "JT's boys in the Ahia Stadium need spanked by Michigan."
Okay, so I seem to have issues with the MGoDroid app....
Regarding Dantonio's asinine comments, he's made enough bulletin board worthy statements to fill a bookshelf. I just hope that the team stuffs every page down his throat this fall.
Some early jockeying for the OSU job?
