Devin Gardner (official thread)

He (Gardner) got pounded a little bit,” Hoke said. “He was a warrior out there that last drive before the interception at the end and did a nice job getting us down the field, had taken a lot of shots earlier in the game, and, he just, a little bit worn out.”

Was the warrior part where he pulled up a yard short of a first down on third and long rather than take the hit?

What is: Gardner has had that cockiness literally beaten out of him by this football season. It started with the insane interception against Notre Dame and steadily built through interception after interception; Michigan resorted to running him a lot to actually move the offense forward, and he started having moments where you wondered if he'd get up. He laid on the turf after he took one particular shot to the chest against Minnesota, and it was a surprise when he got up and continued playing football. By Penn State his coaches were so afraid of him that they curled up into a ball in overtime.

In this game Pat Narduzzi paid his five dollars to the carnie and whipped linebackers at him until he cracked. Pat Narduzzi is now the proud owner of a St. Bernard-sized Marvin the Martian. Devin Gardner is no longer bobbing his head, because doing so sends shooting pain down his right side. And his left side. And other sides that don't actually exist but still manage to send shooting pain signals to his brain. Cockiness has left the building.

I almost feel bad for the kid. Almost.

I got past the almost and legitimately felt bad for him. His team and coach essentially left him for dead and he kept trying. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some sore ribs that made him instinctively pull up when he knew he was going to get smashed. I enjoy seeing them suck, and him throw picks, but can't knock his toughness there.

sure you can

that gif was after the INT, not after the yard short slide. No one touched him on the INT, he stood tall, followed through then once it was picked he started acting hurt.

This.

He was coached very well by his predecessor as to what to do when you are losing the game for you team. Act hurt and tap out.

1 Game? Hey, it's not like it was a DUI or something! A stern talking to by Hoke will be in order and he will not get any dessert for two days (he has to give them to Hoke).

Reminds be what Doug Williams said about Clarett (in Sept 2003) when he wanted him to transfer to Grambling:

"A lot of people would like to have Maurice Clarett," Williams said. "I don't think a headache comes with the kid. He didn't shoot nobody. They didn't arrest him for drugs. He didn't rape nobody. Ain't no problem with the kid."

I thought fatso was a Cinnamon Buns guy.

Regrettably, Ben & Jerry's has not yet entered into a taste bud-annihilating flavor-mash-up with Domino's Pizza, so Brady Hoke's dream flavor remains the stuff of dreams (and homemade blender concoctions). And while Chubby Hubby and Chunky Monkey were tempting choices here, they were also too obvious. No, Hoke is a Cinnamon Buns man, slamming together two delicious things that are bad for you to create a caloric atom bomb of things that are bad for you. Go big -- because that's how a Michigan Man does it, dammit.
