Hoke apology over stake

Why a press release? Way to fucking put a cherry on top of an already shitty performance. Fuck do we need leadership badly. Honestly, is the whole stake thing that big of a fucking deal? I bet half the stupid spartys didn't even notice it, just stupid, fuck coaching searches, when is basketball season?

Other than the stupidity of the whole thing in general, what I'm actually pissed off about is Hoke once again publicly lying then coming clean. At the post game presser he was asked once about it and said he really didn't know what happened but was aware of some thing. He was then asked more directly again, and he responded that, yes, in fact, he was aware of Bolden planting the stake, but it was supposed to be a joke. Now this lame ass official public apology. That is not Michigan, fergodsakes.

to the Michigan faithful for a complete lack of Class that used to be the hallmark of this storied program ?

Thus Hoke loses the team. The players can't possibly support him after being thrown under the bus like this, can they?

Oregon took a sledge hammer to our endzone and I didn't see any news reporting

I have been as hard on Hoke as anyone, but I am not going to beat him up over this.  I feel bad that his tenure appears to be coming to an end, but I do believe that he is a good man.  Most coaches wouldn't have felt the need to make this statement and it tells me a lot about his character.

be sarcastic its just beyond sad at this point.

The first act was stupid, the effect was zero and the apology was stupider.  Genuflecting to any State coach especially Dantonio is nauseating.

You dont win championships or rivalry with nice guys, this is the nail to the coffin showing that Hoke is soft..its a rivalry game and this kind of things should be normal..Dantonio is a little BITCH complaining about this, and honestly he does shit like this every year so he can put a chip on his players for the next year and i guarantee you they will remember this next year..fuck you MD get over it and Hoke sorry but you need to be a high school teacher not a college coach

No need to apologize about the stake or the last MSU TD.

But Dantonio crying about the stake publically makes him look petty. If he wants to use it to motivate his players privately, that's different.

 

 

We are your bitch.

Such ruffianly behaviour is unbecoming a MICHIGAN MAN.

 

God, we're pathetic.

Hoke no one cares! We are irrelevant in our own division let alone anywhere else.

How will the players react? I think this just sealed it for hoke, it appears as if the players were still playing hard for him, this may have erased that going forward

Where is the applogy to us the fans for putting shit product on the field? Where is the applogy to the players for letting them down?? I dont care about this guy anymore, I use to think he was a good man with good intentions for the university and the kids but I honestly think he is a complete moran..or has lost his mind since this was his dream job

Can we get an apology for bad game planning, especially after a bye week?

And for his next trick, Dantonio will show the 2015 MSU team Hoke's balls on a platter with that wry grin.

I don't agree with Bolden's original action but at this point it's over and own it.  There is no way in hell Dantonio is not going to use it as a motivational ploy for years upon years to come as a "sign of disrespect" so just being a p***** about it only makes us look even more owned.  Not that we aren't already. 

 

Whatever. Next Hoke will apologize to us for apologizing to Dantonio and MSU. Stop apologizing? Just get the job done Coach! Good riddance...

 

P.S. Dantonio is a douche and he proved it yesterday...

I'm sure Brandon, who is worried about all manner of BS now, made Hoke do this in an attempt to look good for Schlissel.

I'm not sure what the big deal is. Bolden was simply expressing that our offense would be camping out at midfield until the game was decided. Next week drive the stake into the endzone.

they had the stake yesterday.  But now the blame is on the misguided players.  Yep, Hoke is a good guy looking out for his players. 

This just sucks.

I just don't at all understand how a tent stake could possibly be used as a symbol of teamwork and committment in a tough environment. It kinda reminds me of the whole ice pick thing from '97 and climbing everest, except that actually made sense, and isn't plastic.

I am amazed how many of my sparty friends are in an uproar over the damn spike.  You'd think we pissed on their mothers graves the way they are acting.  

Right off the bat this morn on radio - they read hokes sappy apology ...then follow it with dantonio saying he is driving a stake thru us in his press conf

 

Can this clapping clown do anything right?????????????
