**T&P_Fan** · 01-12-2011, 01:15 PM

I cant even watch and I love the guy.

**Vonlenska** · 01-12-2011, 01:16 PM

nooo b10 stream died

**Sparks4Ever** · 01-12-2011, 01:16 PM

I don't think there's ever been a coach so pumped up for a press conference.

**Deleterious** · 01-12-2011, 01:17 PM

@chengelis

Hoke: I grew up in Ohio, I loved coach Hayes, but I was not a fan of that university.

That is your headline tomorrow morning.

"It's about these guys becoming Husbands, Fathers, and (something else, i forgot) when they graduate...and winning Big Ten Championships."

**Vonlenska** · 01-12-2011, 01:18 PM

Well, one thing's for sure is that this guy's a turn on a dime 180 from RR.

Didnt Rich Rod make reference to Ohio State as "just another game?" Or am I remembering that wrong?

Hoke sure knows how to win people over. He is off to a good start.

great community leaders :)

and yeah del, I hopped on that one. thanks.

**thefunk** · 01-12-2011, 01:19 PM

Knows Denard is talented, wants to keep him, duh. Said he's talked with him for 15 minutes, and will have chance to continue conversations later.

Wants what's best for the team. Give or take some words.

**Nastradamus** · 01-12-2011, 01:20 PM

Hoke will win people over pretty quickly I think.

As far as all the Denard talk, it's one thing to call him overrated as a 1st team AA and big ten OPOY, but it's another to act like he's garbage and not good at all.

**thefunk** · 01-12-2011, 01:21 PM

This guy is stellar. Give him his years, and we will win football games.

**Deleterious** · 01-12-2011, 01:21 PM

I didn't mean to interrupt you. I will probably do that some though.

haha

**thefunk** · 01-12-2011, 01:22 PM

On the rivalries....

(stonefaced).....pause...."You want to win them."

**T&P_Fan** · 01-12-2011, 01:23 PM

Im guessing I will be able to watch this video once I get home from work? They will probably keep it on the website?

**Vonlenska** · 01-12-2011, 01:24 PM

I would assume, yeah

University of Michigan Official Athletic Site will have it for a long time.

I think I want to watch it again.

**thefunk** · 01-12-2011, 01:26 PM

that was a quick, solid yes with regards to if he wants to be here forever. barely finished the question.

**Kamakzie** · 01-12-2011, 01:28 PM

Hoke had me at "That school in Ohio"

**thefunk** · 01-12-2011, 01:29 PM

apparently the room is filled with former players and distinguished alumni. not surprised he choked up.

**Deleterious** · 01-12-2011, 01:29 PM

They keep mentioning former players at the press conference. Sounds like a lot of former players showed up to offer support.

**Vonlenska** · 01-12-2011, 01:30 PM

**** yeah his answer to "is this still an elite job"

"This is Michigan."

**thefunk** · 01-12-2011, 01:30 PM

not an elite job..

"Who says that?" (espn) "They got a job to do....This is an elite job....This is Michigan, for God's sake..."

**Deleterious** · 01-12-2011, 01:30 PM

He was not happy with a question about Michigan not being an elite job.

**thefunk** · 01-12-2011, 01:32 PM

oh my goodness. Commence the honeymoon phase. this is great.

**Vonlenska** · 01-12-2011, 01:34 PM

Where's my helmet and pads?

**Vonlenska** · 01-12-2011, 01:35 PM

YOU'RE ****ING RIGHT IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME

**Deleterious** · 01-12-2011, 01:36 PM

@chengelis

Hoke told people say UM no longer elite: "who says that? This is an elite job this is Michigan"

@michigan_fball

RT @mr_kelgrady19: Ive been at UM for 4 yrs... im about to REALLY experience the real Michigan Difference! We got ourselves a Michigan Man.

**thefunk** · 01-12-2011, 01:36 PM

now he's gonna make me cry.

Judas. Where can I sign? Can I play next year?

**Deleterious** · 01-12-2011, 01:37 PM

Talking about the OSU game, Hoke said. "It is the most important game of the year" As he was pounding the podium.

**Vonlenska** · 01-12-2011, 01:37 PM

Love this.

**Nastradamus** · 01-12-2011, 01:38 PM

**pyrotigers** · 01-12-2011, 01:39 PM

Crying at a press conference, loving his players, talking about how much he respects the school.

It sounds exactly like Rich Rod, except people like it when Hoke does these things.

**Deleterious** · 01-12-2011, 01:39 PM

I agree with Vonlenska and thefunk. I want to check and see if I have any eligibility left.

**Kamakzie** · 01-12-2011, 01:40 PM

LOL time for Drew Sharp to crap on it..

**JAYB** · 01-12-2011, 01:40 PM

Drew Sharp is an ***

**Vonlenska** · 01-12-2011, 01:41 PM

lol Drew Sharp. Brady owned him.

**thefunk** · 01-12-2011, 01:41 PM

Drew Sharp just got owned.

Give me a break.

**Deleterious** · 01-12-2011, 01:42 PM

Hoke: Our goal is to win the Big time championship. Multiplie, consecutively.

Reporter: Multiplie?

Hoke: I made that word up...I'm good at scrabble.
