Michigan Football as The Sopranos, Season 6, Part 2
Much as it pains me to have read Brian suggest that LC was some sort of nefarious kingmaker, lurking in the shadows, given that within minutes of the Hoke announcement LC tweeted his approval of this hiring, it dawned on me that the football admin within the athletic department resembled The Sopranos more than just a little...
Semi-lucid Uncle Junior - LC
Tony Soprano - RR
Bobby Bacala - Hoke (C'mon, people! He even looks like Bobby Bacala!)
Silvio Dante - DB
Carmela - Miss Rita
Any suggestions for Meadow Soprano are welcome.
Seriously, though. Michigan football seriously resembles a crime family...lifetime commitment, trust no one from the outside, tear down all other trains of thought, etc.
I'm no Misopogon, so I can't do all the colorful wordsmithing or attaching the nifty pics with photoshops, but the theme seems too close to reality. Maybe too close...

That is all.

Nice metaphor....hopefully Misopogon catches wind of this and steps up on this....
I don't know if Brandon was always in line with the rest of the rank and file alum who never bought into Coach Rodriguez or if he was gradually pulled to the place he is now, but this whole episode has made me question the strength of his pimp hand.
I'm low this morning....so low.

Too funny. I was just saying last night how I thought Hoke resembled Pussy from the Sopranos. Now that you say it, though, he definitely looks like Bobby.

Probably the nicest guy gets the best death scene in the series.
