Hoke lookalikes go mainstream

#6 looks like the closest comparison.

Chritsite resembles Front Butt more than anyone else.

I've always thought jabs at Hoke's weight are overdone. Of course, this is partially because I am less than a year apart from Hoke in age, and am large myself (6'3", 299 pounds) without being morbidly obese.

One thing, at mgoblog and other Michigan sites, is that we haven't been above taking potshots at other coaches with (ahem) weight problems.

• Exhibit A:  Charlie Weis.
• Exhibit B:  Phillip Fulmer.

I would only expect fat jokes to come out of Columbus and East Lansing, at least until Hoke loses 50 pounds or so. And neither Urban Meyer nor Mark Dantonio appear to be overweight.

I think both Hoke and Mattison have lost some weight and look in better shape than they did last year.

I'm pretty sure Buzzfeed must have OSU alums/fans as contributors. It's small, but that little "Coach of the (recently defeated) Michigan Wolverines" just bugs me. Throw that in there with their post about how Ohio is great (lol) and it's just one of the things that irks me

They definitely share a common ancestor.

...is a large guy so having a big gut is somewhat expected.  The really scary problem is that there's so much fat in his head that he doesn't even know the correct name of our biggest rival.  It's Ohio State, not just Ohio (which is actually and entirely different school.)

It'll be interesting to see how nasty things get when he's inevitably run out of town.

I was afraid someone would post this. Please no Captain Front Butt!!

Hoke would be President if he was involved in politics hahaha

Seriously, there are few HCs that identify with the American populous. Maybe folks are annoyed that he can coach so well while staying such an everyday person. What other HC would you actually want as an uncle or neighbor more than Hoke?

nuff said.

Hoke is fat but Christie is at Weis like proportions. 

Is quite the honor.

I do not see the comparison.  Christie wore long sleeves in all those pictures.

Fat jokes are for lazy people. 

#3 is eerie - like he's staring through your soul.

in #5

"Welllllll, I think you will bring me that Sugar Bowl trophy"

is that there are people much fatter than Brady, and also Chris Christie has bad skin.

Maybe Lochdog can come up with a slick new ad campaign. Brady Hoke: great coach, more svelte than Chris Christie, nice skin.

I mean lets be honest. 

in the middle of the season, on the Stony & Bill (and Sara) Show, they brought up recent comparisons being made about he & Christie and he interrupted them to say (paraphrasing) "I keep seeing him and thinking, what a good looking man he is!"

i had a good laugh.

While reading this, I realized—I fucking love Brady Hoke and couldn't not smile when looking at him commanding the troops. Damn.

Bet that he will immediately go on a diet and end becoming thinner than Jim Tressel.
