How should we mark Jan 11th?
So, Coach Hoke was hired on January 11th last year, after a coaching search that was tumultuous and resulted millions of hours of lost productivity.
I ask you, MGoColleagues, how should we mark the day?
How will we celebrate year one of what John U Bacon will one day refer to as the Restoration?
January 7th, 2012 at 12:46 PM ^
Mark it as 1-11-11
January 7th, 2012 at 12:47 PM ^
Poop out something golden.
January 7th, 2012 at 2:06 PM ^
'Shiny Poop' won the google image search and led me to this Gold (poop) mine of Brady Hoke's magic. All sorts of golden poop for the photoshop inclined here:

Wear a short-sleeved Michigan polo outside all day, fergodsakes!
January 7th, 2012 at 1:51 PM ^
If you reverse it to European style, it's 11-1, which was almost our record this year.
January 7th, 2012 at 12:47 PM ^
Golden poop day?
January 7th, 2012 at 12:48 PM ^
I will point at everything and everyone I see, start every sentence with "well,..." and pepper my conversation liberally with the words "tremendous," "toughness," and "passion."
January 7th, 2012 at 12:48 PM ^
Rectal Horseshoe?
January 7th, 2012 at 12:49 PM ^
Let's drink!
January 7th, 2012 at 1:02 PM ^
I'd recommend following Hoke's lead (from college) and attempting to drink every beer in your respective city.
January 7th, 2012 at 12:51 PM ^
sleeve shirt without putting on headphones. Try to recruit a couple of 5* stars along the way.
January 7th, 2012 at 12:54 PM ^
short sleeves and alot of pointing.
January 7th, 2012 at 1:00 PM ^

Can we get Mrs Rita to send some nacho dip?
January 7th, 2012 at 1:10 PM ^
After all the talk, I still wanna try this stuff.
January 7th, 2012 at 1:07 PM ^
Walk from San Diego to Ann Arbor. Who's with me?
January 7th, 2012 at 1:08 PM ^
Restoration?
"Michigan never left" - The man himself.
January 7th, 2012 at 1:13 PM ^
A lot. Everywhere. And say fergodsakes fergodsakes. Then double point and say tremendous seniors.
January 7th, 2012 at 1:15 PM ^
Wow Hoke was hired on 1-11-11. No wonder things worked out so well
January 11 from now until time immemorial shall be known as Manball Day.
BTN should do an all day re-airing of all Hoke pressers since that historic day.
January 7th, 2012 at 1:17 PM ^
No matter where you are, wear a shortsleeved shirt.
January 7th, 2012 at 1:19 PM ^
I'll do my best Hoke-walk all day around the office
January 7th, 2012 at 1:27 PM ^
I'm going to walk around in a short-sleeved shirt, pointing at people and yelling "This is Michigan!"
January 7th, 2012 at 3:13 PM ^
FERGODSAKES!
January 7th, 2012 at 1:26 PM ^
January 7th, 2012 at 1:28 PM ^
January 7th, 2012 at 1:33 PM ^
January 7th, 2012 at 1:28 PM ^
This is a thread.
OK....
January 7th, 2012 at 1:32 PM ^
Don't hate; just don't participate.
You have to admit though, Hoke is the best coach in the country. No denying that!
January 7th, 2012 at 2:13 PM ^
You're serious.
January 7th, 2012 at 11:36 PM ^
Hey, shouldn't you be spending time on Arizona blogs at this point? Bear down!
January 7th, 2012 at 3:16 PM ^
why are you always so negative on here?
January 7th, 2012 at 2:30 PM ^
End every sentence with an emphatic: "FERGODSAKES!!!!!!!"
January 7th, 2012 at 3:03 PM ^
"Because character wins in life and character wins on the football field...."
January 7th, 2012 at 3:05 PM ^
Perhaps reflect on how an eleven win season cures a lot of ills, including the angst most were feeling a year ago about the coach search (when only 5% reported wanting Hoke as coach):

and eventual hire of Brady Hoke:
http://mgoblog.com/content/its-hoke
I was not posting to MGoBlog a year ago, but I was definitely sceptical about the Hoke hire at the time.
(Btw, I miss the archives search option that used to be available that allowed searches by month and year.)
January 7th, 2012 at 3:48 PM ^
Tears in my eyes right now from laughing while reading some of the posts on this board when Hoke was announced as the new HC. Holy shite, was this board f'n pessimistic that day.
January 7th, 2012 at 3:49 PM ^
because that date maximizes the number of digits that look like Hoke's pointing finger...
...and Dave Brandon didn't want to wait until 11/11/11.
January 7th, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
I'm going to start a thread where I blast DB for capitulating to the "Michigan Man" meme by hiring somebody so obviously over his head and incapable of leading Michigan. I'm going to lament the loss of RR and predict we wont win 6 games with Hoke as coach and wonder if the team has now doomed itself to second tier status with such a lame head coaching hire. And I'm going to speculate that our recruiting will suck and we'll be lucky to keep half of RR's verbal commit's and that we'll probably land no one else.
Oh wait....that was last year-sorry. This year I'll probably wear a Brady 'Hoke = Coach of the Year" T-shirt around or something.
January 7th, 2012 at 4:15 PM ^
Sing me Happy Birthday, because that's my birthday. Yes, Brady Hoke was my birthday present.
January 7th, 2012 at 4:38 PM ^
...on January 11th will be:
"WHO SAYS THAT? And I am being serious...."
January 8th, 2012 at 1:59 AM ^
"Well, you know"
January 7th, 2012 at 4:46 PM ^
hoke is always pointing? Telekensis. thats y we recover so many fumbles
January 7th, 2012 at 5:29 PM ^
January 11 is National Tremendous Day.
January 7th, 2012 at 5:59 PM ^
National Point at Everything Day.
In addition, every sentence involving anything Michigan related must end in "Fergodsakes."
January 7th, 2012 at 6:27 PM ^
Make sure we don't wear anything red.
January 7th, 2012 at 7:13 PM ^
I believe Mattison deserves a day too. to celebrate we all just punch Gerg in the face a couple times
