DAVID BRANDON AND BRADY HOKE
LLoyd was giddy downright giddy on the air, I have a feeling he is liking the Hoke Era
....there was no coaching being done under Rich Rod. Woodson plainly said and I paraphrase, "you could see it during the games, there was no coaching."
Woodson is VERY EXCITED about Hoke.
The turnovers and untimely penalties were frustrating, but that was a well-coached O.
Stunned when I think about how different the D looked this Spring - loud and predatory (at least wanting to be) and seemingly in the right places. They looked entirely different.
Would someone be able to post some kind of summary (especially for the coach interviews) later for those of us who cant listen all day? Im sure something will be posted..
But they basically did that for you-

Feely is always a great interview. To hear him and coach Carr reminisce about the time Feely got a late hit penalty on a kickoff was classic. I hope after his playing career he makes a run at NFL commish or goes into politics because he is one smart cookie.
You can hear the affection for the kids at Mott, the program, and the university in their voices. It makes one proud to know that we have great people willing to give back long after their playing and coaching days are over and to be part of something greater than themselves.
Morgan Trent, ay....?
There are some great incentives again this year. Not to mention its a great cause.
has been restored.
They have this mornings interviews as well as Godin's interview from yesterday.
Like Griese were wondering where the defense was. (He was doing the Illinois game). He's analyzing how Denard will read the defense and make things difficult as a multi-pronged threat.
Hey guys, is there a way to donate on the net or do I have to be there?
Go to WTKA.com and click on the Mott thing in the middle of the page. Near the bottom of the page there is a "Donate Online" link that will take you to an official UM page. The only issue with it I saw was that I gave my $50 and I'm not really sure if I'll get a t-shirt since it didn't say anything about it and there was nowhere to put size.
1-800-559-2657. Since you'll be talking to people, you can make sure you get the gimme gift you want.
And the link: http://www.wtka.com/Month-Of-Mott/9714929 Click the highlighted "here."
[Forgive the big font. Came with copying the 800 #.]
PS: They added a signed "bling" Woodson jersey, with his name in something flashy/sparkly (sequins?). $1,000 donation. Adding things as the day goes on.
Just read an article about the Griese/Hutchinson/Woodson golf fundraiser on the Freep. (I know, sorry). Their goal this year is to raise $1.2 million, which is $200,000 more than they raised last year. I just think that the university is so very lucky to have such generous alumni like the three of them and many more. One thing I found interesting is that Brady Hoke took the time last year to participate in the event even while he busy with coaching at SDSU. I think that says alot about the man.
Listening to Brian Griese this morning, haven't heard from him in a while.
You must not have watched the mich-illinois game this year. He was the color commentator
