Hoek, I bet you vote on American Idol
January 25th, 2014 at 10:00 PM ^

January 25th, 2014 at 10:03 PM ^

January 25th, 2014 at 10:04 PM ^
complaining is what losers do
January 25th, 2014 at 10:10 PM ^
I do not like Izzo at all. I've always thought he was a whiny bitch. Just play the game.
January 25th, 2014 at 10:23 PM ^
January 25th, 2014 at 10:26 PM ^
Don't bitch, don't talk, just lace up the shoes and beat the shit out of State! I love this team! Now if Hoke can get his team to play like this all will be right in the world!
January 25th, 2014 at 10:29 PM ^
Yes! Thank you OP. I had been thinking the same thing the whole time with all the talk about Izzo's injuries and I never heard Beilein say word one about losing our pre-season all american all year
January 25th, 2014 at 10:47 PM ^
January 25th, 2014 at 10:47 PM ^
January 25th, 2014 at 10:51 PM ^
Izzo always does this. Listening to him after a loss, you'd think he was coaching Fort Wayne Community College.
January 25th, 2014 at 10:59 PM ^
January 25th, 2014 at 11:14 PM ^

Just for the cherry on top
January 26th, 2014 at 2:31 AM ^
They have it up on UMhoops.
January 25th, 2014 at 11:18 PM ^
Niet zeuren, niet praten, alleen lace up de schoenen en sloeg de stront uit staat! Ik hou van dit team! Nu als Hoke zijn team te spelen als dit kan krijgt in orde zullen zijn in de wereld!
January 25th, 2014 at 11:19 PM ^
I think he shouldn't bitch, or talk.
I have no idea why I feel that way.
Long live Hoek!

that is some weak ass shit, meat.
Better off saying "we just didn't have the personnel to match them," which is what happened, and "we look forward to seeing them at full strengt in Ann Arbor."

don't put your beer scotch down on your keyboard.
Izzo, apparently, is a riot.
Beilein, now, -- that's a class act.
January 26th, 2014 at 12:35 AM ^
He "never" gets a break and yet we just drilled 'em in EL.
Thank goodness we have Beilein who just coaches and never whines.
January 26th, 2014 at 12:56 AM ^
January 26th, 2014 at 1:07 AM ^
just created the quote of the year I'm leaning toward yes.
January 26th, 2014 at 1:08 AM ^
HOLY SHIT Hoek

I'm dying over the sheer number of posts and some of the responses. The joke about wanting to know Hoek's position on bitching and talking was the best laugh I've had all week.
January 26th, 2014 at 1:50 AM ^
January 26th, 2014 at 2:28 AM ^
I see what he did. This was meant to show how repetitive the MSM and Izzo have been about injuries. Nicely illustrated. Well done.
January 26th, 2014 at 3:11 AM ^
Wait im confused. Does MSU have any injuries ?
January 26th, 2014 at 5:27 PM ^
This thread is important. It must be preserved.
As such, I felt compelled to +1 every one of Hoek's posts. 15 minutes of my life well spent.
