Snowflakes; right in the A.
Year after year Michigan pulls in top 10 talent and year after year they fail to develop them. What's problem? Lack of urgency? Lack of focus? Lack of intensity? Lack of execution? (a Hoke favorite). Weeeeell, he's right. I blame him and the coaches.
Where are you coach Mattison? You're a legend and you're failing. Your new "aggressive" scheme is failing. Your line gets no pressure. It hasn't since Mike Martin left. You've taken your best defensive player out of his natural position. Jake Ryan is nowhere to be seen. Your secondary... Jesus, your secondary... I'm not even going there. GARY FUCKING NOVA LOOKS LIKE PEYTON FUCKING MANNING!!!
Who's brilliant idea was it to promote Roy Manning to the cornerbacks coach? I'll leave this here..
Funk.. Coach, motherfucking Funk. Why you still have a job, I know not. Your incompetence is only matched by your track record. I look forward to seeing you fired and ending up at a MAC school. That is all.
Coach Heck, you're cool.
Fred Jackson. 2006/2007 called to say that even in 2006/2007 you were bailed out by a great running back. You've not proven anything in quite some time. You're also lacking in your recruiting of Detroit and the South. You've out lived your purpose here. Harsh words but we all are thinking it.
Dougie, I'm sorry. You've walked into a no win situation. Even though our offense might be the equivalent of Helen Keller, you are no miracle worker.
Brady fucking Hoke, you're a nice guy. Players like you but they damn sure won't play for you. You've lost whatever control you had. Would it kill you to take action on the game at hand? No offense, but you look like an absolute mouth breather on the sideline. You're public speaking is second to none. You come off as a brilliant mind but you're wasting our time. You're not as bad as our last ex girlfriend but that's not saying much. You still bring nothing to the table.
Dave Brandon. Your time is up. The students, alumni and president have turned on you. A word of advice, go beg for your pizza boy job back. People won't think any worse of you. It's impossible.
Add what you will. This is the end of this coaching staff and AD. Time to flush these broken turds down the toilet.

nails might be in the coffin but it would be nice to see the corpse had some life with a win.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:40 PM ^
Right - cause that call totally torpedo'd our otherwise excellent play.
October 4th, 2014 at 11:26 PM ^
We were driving, and in good position to take the lead. Maybe we wouldn't have won, but that shouldn't ever be in the hands of the goddamn officials.
Fuck.
October 4th, 2014 at 11:45 PM ^
I get that we suck and agree that we need a change and all that - I don't disagree. Doesn't change the fact the call - and replay confirmation! - was utter bullshit and a total screwjob to the players.
Poor Devin Gardner. He's basically the most star-crossed player ever. Of course that happens right when he's poised to complete a come-from-behind drive for the win.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:47 PM ^
October 4th, 2014 at 11:50 PM ^
Well it was CONFIRMED!
But does it matter? That play was basically equivalent to Michigan missing that field goal last year against NW

The fans at Rutgers are rushing the field. We're 2-4 and the worst team in the division. I wish they never joined the B1G.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:49 PM ^
Lots of B1G schools are saying that about us.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:50 PM ^
*Worst team in the Big Ten.
Illinois is the only other team 0-2 in the Big Ten, but they have 3 overall wins.

Not sure that's really fair to say tonight. We definitely played like crap for long stretches, but in crunch time we looked like we were actually taking control. We scored a TD to cut the deficit to two points, got a stop and then were driving for a potential go-ahead score when that call happened.
I don't think we're well-coached, but we showed as much heart tonight as we have all season and I feel bad for the team right now.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:40 PM ^
We should fire Brady as early as possible so we can beat Florida to the punch in hiring Dan Mullen.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:40 PM ^
Nova had a career night in passing yards. I know the refs blew that call, but c'mon, the coaching staff is the real problem.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:49 PM ^
The replay officials also somehow looked at that and not only didn't overturn it, but somehow said it was confirmed. There is no logical way to look at that replay and not say it was a catch.
Michigan actually executed a play when they needed it for once and got fucked over, plain and simple.
That didn't doesn't mean our coach isn't shit, but that shouldn't be an excuse for refs and replay officials not doing their fucking jobs.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:54 PM ^
The game should not have came down to that one play. The whole staff needs fired.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:41 PM ^
did the clock run twice on first down? They get a penalty and win the game because of it?
October 4th, 2014 at 10:45 PM ^
HOW DID NO ONE CATCH THIS. THE CLOCK RAN TWICE ON FIRST DOWN AFTER THE PENALTY AND NO ONE DID ANYTHING!!!
HOW IS BRADY HOKE NOT COMPETENT ENOUGH TO SEE THIS!!
FIRE THEM ALL. I HAVE NO SYMPATHY. MADE YOUR OWN BED. SHEESH, WHY DONT YOU TAKE THAT LAST TIMEOUT (YOU ALREADY WASTED THE OTHER TWO) AND JUST SLEEP AT HOME WITH IT!!
I HATE YOU BRADY HOKE!!
October 4th, 2014 at 10:50 PM ^
I was curious about this. How does that work exactly. Did they reset the clock and I just didn't notice?
October 5th, 2014 at 12:10 AM ^
When this was going on live, the classic rage sessions that even the worst coaches have with refs when something like this happens to their team came to mind. In just about every case, the coach wins and the refs admit their dumbshit mistake and fix the time. I expected the rage from Hoke, finally this time. Even if the running clock was somehow correct, at least you have to make a stink. But no. No, Hoke either didn't notice or didn't care. Unbelievable either way.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:41 PM ^
I can't take this heartbreak any more. This shit fucking sucks.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:41 PM ^
There only possible explanation for why that wasn't overturned is that somebody in the booth didn't want us to win. There is no way someone with a pair of eyes can call that incomplete.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:52 PM ^
So was that the worst call ever, or merely the worst call during the video review era?
October 4th, 2014 at 10:41 PM ^
And not enough "great practices," obviously

October 4th, 2014 at 10:43 PM ^
The Refs screwed us but who cares! We have way more talent then Rutgers, no way we should have ever been in a position to lose to this team. HOKE NEEDS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!
October 4th, 2014 at 10:43 PM ^
At least a guy that knows the history of the program is creating it. End of "no 3 losses before October" and "no 2 conference losses to start the season". Way to go coach! Way to make history!
October 4th, 2014 at 10:44 PM ^
I don't see how Hoke sticks around until November. They'll be lucky to get a half full stadium at IU and Maryland.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:47 PM ^
Brandon's behind him. That'll be enough until at least the end of the season.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:51 PM ^
Brandon probably won't last the season and the next AD's first job will be to fire Hoke
October 4th, 2014 at 11:38 PM ^
