Press Conference Open Thread
January 12th, 2011 at 1:46 PM ^
But, is anybody else getting really excited about the future right now?
January 12th, 2011 at 1:47 PM ^
Is this rhetorical?
January 12th, 2011 at 1:47 PM ^
Yes, but I'm always irrationally excited about the future of Michigan football.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:53 PM ^
Well, forgive me, but I was anything but excited after spending the last 7 days reading this blog.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:05 PM ^
I think less people are going to be reading.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:46 PM ^
Is it possible for you to say "ohio" and "state" in the same sentence?
January 12th, 2011 at 1:46 PM ^
re: taking it personal..."take it how you want it, I really dont care."
January 12th, 2011 at 3:47 PM ^
He used a similar quote when referring to recruits which I thought was hilarious. How you can't please everyone and he doesn't care, I like the vibe he's throwing off. This is Michigan, this is how we are going to do it, if you don't like it fuck off.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:47 PM ^
likes to touch kids...HA....just kidding.
He obviously is a very sincere guy and understands the players he has now and what he wants in the future. Good man just like RR and I'll root for Brady just the same. Also...Hoke is funny as sh**. Goofy funny...but still funny.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:47 PM ^
He's gonna have to knock it off with the Royal "We"
January 12th, 2011 at 1:47 PM ^
That presser was awesome. It's peanut butter jelly time.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:48 PM ^
Brady seems very confident. I think that's a good thing.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:48 PM ^
calling out the media... ha! Love it!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:48 PM ^
Great first impression...I'm not sure he could do any better. I wouldn't read too much into the Denard answers. Remember this is live, he's amped up, let's see how this shakes out. So far I'm pretty pumped.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:49 PM ^
I feel a hell of a lot better after that press conference than I did before it.
I also understand how what appeared to be a fat, uninspiring slob has such a good reputation as a recruiter. I want to run through a wall right now.
Also shut the hell up five cities in six days. It's not hard when you don't fly commercial.
January 12th, 2011 at 2:01 PM ^
I still think DB botched this "national search" but please also spare us the crybaby routine. Huge difference flying by yourself in a Lear Jet vs. going like my wife does - with 7 kids deep in coach (I get the Platinum upgrade).
DB thinks he's so smart, but M got played in this whole fiasco.

Drew sharp is such an a**hole. Glad to see Coach Hoke put him down. Good press conference. Love the attitude of DB and BH toward the media. Not taking any s*** from them.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:49 PM ^
"5 cities in 6 days," I think we get the point DB.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:50 PM ^

January 12th, 2011 at 1:50 PM ^
Okay, Dave, we get it, you went to five cities in six days. Now please, please stop trumpeting that fact.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:50 PM ^
fucking awesome.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:50 PM ^
that took a job w/o knowing how much $$ he's getting is Bo great answer. also love the vocal bitch slap he game Drew.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:51 PM ^
As much as I wanted to hate this hire, how can you hate that? That has got be one of the best introductory press conferences of all time. I am 100% impressed with this guy right now. This guy said he would walk to Michigan. Wow.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:52 PM ^
Ok, so I'm at work and all I'm getting to see is what's being typed here. Anybody know if this press conference will be posted online somewhere?
January 12th, 2011 at 1:54 PM ^
It will almost shirley be posted on MGoBlue later today.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:49 PM ^
You're right its up, now stop calling him shirley.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:52 PM ^
Sorry F5 but I am dumping your ass for Brady!!!!!!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:53 PM ^
I'm feeling a lot of love here from the MGoCommunity... I hope this presser is bringing the fans together.
Also, that is what DB said he needed and would do...
January 12th, 2011 at 1:53 PM ^
Knowing that DB talked to him about adaptation to the players we have makes me feel a lot better too.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:56 PM ^
Confirmation that MSC reads Mgoblog.
Edit: aaaaannnnd Tate is gone it seems like.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:54 PM ^
is reading MGoBlog!
David where are you, they're tracking an airplane with a block M on it!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:55 PM ^
I just caught myself smiling watching DB answer the question about Denard and offensive personnel. He said they discussed personnel, specifically Denard, several times and Hoke has shown in the past that he can adapt personnel.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:55 PM ^
w/o talking about Denard Robinson. also said, we talked about other QB's hmmm wonder what that meant. (Tate)
January 12th, 2011 at 1:55 PM ^
That's the first thing DB has ever made that's unadulterated (Domino's pizza zing)
January 12th, 2011 at 1:55 PM ^
Get your ass off the podium and bring Hoke back. Boooooo.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:55 PM ^
IT HASN'T BEEN SIGNED OMGZ
January 12th, 2011 at 1:55 PM ^
"Bologne...Meet me after class and I'll give you another word" -DB
January 12th, 2011 at 1:56 PM ^
seems purely academic
January 12th, 2011 at 1:56 PM ^
"No Tate is not with the program"
January 12th, 2011 at 1:57 PM ^
"Those who stay will be champions."
January 12th, 2011 at 1:56 PM ^
Where is he now?
January 12th, 2011 at 1:56 PM ^
"Every discussion I had (with Brady) included talk about Denard"!
Sounds Good!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:56 PM ^
DB says Tate is not with the program
January 12th, 2011 at 1:57 PM ^
Dave Brandon's got his swagger back. Seriously. He's being a cock bitch and i absolutely LOVE IT
January 12th, 2011 at 1:58 PM ^
that is all.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:57 PM ^

January 12th, 2011 at 1:57 PM ^
Dave Brandon likes Data
