Big Ten Media Days: Call For Questions
Like this, but in a suit. And at a podium. And with other Big Ten coaches and players as well. So basically not like this at all. Sorry.
Since yours truly will be at Big Ten Media Days on Thursday and Friday, time to crowdsource some questions. Those of Michigan players (Denard Robinson, Kevin Koger, and Mike Martin), and coach Brady Hoke are most likely to be asked, but if you have things for other players/coaches that are interesting enough, I may get a chance to ask them at Friday's roundtables.
So, if you have a pressing question (WHEN U SCORED TOUCHDOWN HOW U FEEL?), drop it in the comments here, and I'll ask some of the best ones. You have a couple days to give it your best shot.
Q: If you know something about the "Kellen Jones situation" could you kindly tell us instead of like knowing something, but like totally not telling us because that's fucking annoying as fuck. Thanks.
My sentiments exactly without the two "likes".
"Coach Hoke, what's the most important game of the year?"
RR always said the next game. I wanna see if Hoke breaks with the Coach Speak and actually admits it is OSU. I also wanna see him talk up the OSU game and piss off MSU fans who will exert predictable inferiority complex.
He already said the O$U game was the mist important game of the year in his introductory presser.

Ah, thought I remembered that, but wasn't sure.
In that case, trying not to acknowledge MSU too much, I'd like to hear his thoughts on the MSU game and how it is intertwined w/ UM's dominance of in-state recruiting this year.
Do human beings have a definitive, core identity, or are our identities fluid and change with every new expierence?
This is a question for your psychology prof, not that it isn't interresting.
Hoke is a thinking machine. if asked this question, his answer will probably change everything we've ever known.
Don't we already know the answer?
So do you believe we are born with an innate sense of self, or self is formed through the perceptions of our senses? Or both? Or a lot from column A, a little from column B, or vice versa. Or neither? I need your help. I am starting to think I'm really only a lie that I tell myself.
Do you believe the Socratic Method is the best avenue for extracting self learning and awareness through its use of thoughtful paradox, or is it too cynical and contemptuous to continually engage pupils?
... So we must be careful what we pretend to be.

I'm pretty sure your posts are only getting upvoted because everybody is imagining Mr. Rogers saying it.

Where are you a professor at? What field of psych?
Does reading your post change our own identities?
Ask Schrodinger's cat.
Are you planning on recruiting any skill position players or are we going to be throwing the ball to our LT?
that Zach Banner is 6'9 and 300 lbs, we wide him out and toss him fades. No f'n way a 6'2 S or CB outjumps him or then tackles him easily when he does catch the ball.
This will work wonderfully with the 2 qb backfield we're going to have.
Was is it your goal to address the desperate need at both lines with this class, as a foundation going forward, while adding all the necessary skill positions in the next class?
"Coach Hoke, with respect to the defensive line, do you feel that with the scheme change they will be more aggressive and effective in both pass rush and run support? Is there any shift of intensity or focus based on the different systems that you have noticed? Secondly, how do you mean to address what many perceive as a tackling issue the past few seasons?"
a clarification of the missing players on the roster (i.e. Kellen Jones)
I be interested to hear you ask Denard this question. After a season as the starting quarterback and now a summer leading off season workouts do you think your leadership role has changed? and if so how?
P.S. also what toothpaste brand do you use?
Do you use Ohio State toilet paper after you poop magic?
I believe I just pooped a little magic in my pants.
WHEN YOU SCORE TOUCHDOWN HOW IT FEEL? WHY YOU NO DANCE?
on who they think will make a big leap forward and suprise people.....they're "biggest improvement award"......offense and defense.
There are so many things wrong with this sentence.
/contain pedantry
Q: When are we going to start paying our players so we can keep up with the Jones'? You know, since there are no consequences for doing so...
I wanna know if Denard ever practices his smile in the mirror and knows how magical it is.
And I'd really like to know some 2012 recruiting questions, but that's off-limits, right?
No fair, Tim stole my question. Although I think I already know the answer.
His dentist must love him.
Coach Hoke, what is your favorite thing to point at?
Denard, can you give a sense how you feel this year, as a second year starter, compared to last year at this time?
Coach Hoke, could you please point at His Dudeness and tell him you'll be cutting off HIS pinky toe if he doesn't STFU?
Q: Mr Brandon, how stupid do you think we all are? I seriously want you to quantify right now.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how "vastly suboptimally" do you plan to use Denard in Al Borges's offense?
<3
You get it.
Or how about, "How much do you value winning and fielding a capable defensive team over the previous regime's preference of running up gaudy offensive numbers against bad opponents while struggling to score against decent ones and conceding touchdowns on 70 percent of opponents offensive possesions?"
Stop beating the dead horse.
The one you wanted was one more up.
At what point did you find that your ability to point was hall of fame material and is that how you get recruits to commit so quickly? That's all it would take for me to commit.
What is it like being the Hulk?
Do you do Yoga like Ed Norton?
Anything to say to the MSU hack who clipped you last year?
Can you bench press Denard a few times? Maybe a military press would look better for the camera.
Real Question:
What's it like playing when you're being talked about as one of the best draft picks at your position? How do you stay focused on the current season? (I believe he's projected top 2 rounds)
Q: What toppings do you prefer on a hotdog?
Detroit style Coney. Hoke gets it
Or Chicago Style, celebrating the B1G's history and Michigan's historical rival, Chicago. Hoke gets it
/s
Might actually be a fun question to ask
Hat or no hat?
Can you also quote the owner of this blog and use the term "Sigourney Weaver's penis" in a question (for those who don't know, look for Hoke's Profile in Cronyism from 2007).
