Brady "XLLL" Hoke (Head Coach San Diego State)

[alexhortdog95]

Hmmm...to do what I wonder...to demand the Utah player be banned for life for striking the Desmond pose? To play a couple of minutes of Mili Vanili's "Blame it on the Rain"? To declare that Chad Henne is still a college QB? (oops, Jacksonville fans already know that, no breaking news there). To announce they want to use their mulligan? (Would that be on a game, a season, a coaching hire, the decision to rely on Devin Gardner...?) To beg Jim Harbaugh to come baco to the B1G...you know...where the officiating is better? ()

To announce that they're entering a partnership with Toyota Forklifts:

Company Celebrating over 45 years of operations in North America, Toyota has been the number-one selling forklift in the U.S. since 2002. Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A., Inc., based in Columbus, Ind., offers a full line of high-quality forklifts sold under the Toyota brand. Built on a reputation of excellence, Toyota remains popular due to its quality, reliability and durability. Quality is the hallmark of Toyota’s world-renowned Toyota Production System practiced at all Toyota manufacturing facilities, including

Toyota Industrial Equipment Mfg., Inc. (TIEM) in Columbus, Ind. Most of the Toyota forklifts sold in North America are manufactured at TIEM. All Toyota manufacturing plants in the U.S. and Canada comply with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 standard.

And a partnership with MCI:

A U.S. company with headquarters in Des Plaines, Illinois, and plants in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Pembina, North Dakota, Motor Coach Industries is North America's leading manufacturer of intercity coaches serving charter and tour operators; line-haul and scheduled-service operators; transit agencies; and conversion companies in the U.S. and Canada.

In 1963, MCI opened its Pembina, North Dakota, plant and entered the U.S. market. In 1987, the Greyhound Dial Corp. sold Greyhound Lines, and the two companies were officially separated. In 1993, Dial sold MCI as well. MCI moved its headquarters to Des Plaines, Illinois in 1996 and to Schaumburg in 2000. MCI introduced a new era in motor coach manufacturing with the 1997 launch of the luxurious E4500. In 2001, MCI launched the MCI J4500 model and renamed its existing models; the Renaissance became the E4500, and the D-Series 45-foot and 40-foot models became known as the D4500 and D4000, respectively. Today, MCI is focusing on merging luxury and eco-friendliness, with EPA-compliant clean-diesel engines with near-zero emissions and fuel savings along with hybrid and CNG options.
With nearly 2,000 employees, MCI operates six sales centers and seven MCI service centers in addition to its manufacturing activities and is a leading supplier of coach and bus replacement parts.

So....add it up.

ESecPiN saying it's Brady who's addressing the news conference. Not likely he'd be there if he wasn't there anymore. (That's actually a logical statement, under the circumstances.)

 

[alexhortdog95]

Nope. He's still there.

 

[alexhortdog95]

Looks like the Suga Shane era has begun in earnest. 2nd question was about QBs, and he stated that they're still deciding.

 

[alexhortdog95]

OMG, is anybody else listening to this presser?!?

"Brady, do you think the program is in a state of crisis?"

"No. Who would have thought we'd go to the Sugar Bowl in the first year?"

 

[LostLassie]

Oh, well. Still there.

Wait, what am I thinking?

 

[kippy1040]

Meh, looks like their regular weekly presser to me.

I guess you were alex. espn made it out to be something big. False alarm.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, is he?

That was a hell of a deal the pulled. They now have a fork lift and a big bus to help load and transport Hokes halftime snack to away games.

Go pizza guy! Yay!

Wow. That's something they've never done before*.

MGoblog has gone full emo on the Hokester. This is shades of November 2010 all over again. Great stuff...

My favorite bit:

Thing you'll remember not very fondly about the Hoke Era #1: Quarterback handling. Denard Robinson regressed. Devin Gardner appears to be regressing. Their random guess at a quarterback their first year turned out to be a bad idea, and then they skipped a quarterback the next year. Shane Morris is still just a sophomore but early returns are alarming, and he's not a redshirt freshman because of the baffling decision to not take a QB the year before him.
The most important position on the field was fobbed off to a guy with a negative track record, who proceeded to do what his track record always said he would.

Will they make Suga change his number to 47 to celebrate Bennie Oosterbaan?

My favorite bit:

Dude should get the Pulitzer for this. Classic.

EDIT: Scratch that. He apparently thought they were playing Miami, not Utah:

MARCUS HALL EPIC DOUBLE BIRD OF THE WEEK.
Worst. Event. Ever. This Week.
Miami takes back a punt 66 yards after Michigan obliges with a line drive punt and two gunners. Oh, and they only put ten guys on the field.
