Just another reason why UM is going to keeping winning these recruiting battles, the overall like-ability of the coaches. Dantonio-Health Issues, Little Brother.... Kelly-Head Asplode Often, Reckless Endagerment of Students, Fickell-Could Potentiall Steal His Players Girlfriends with His Gel-ed Hair and Axe Bodyspray

can't I see your comment on the website?
Edit: I can see it on the mobile app but not on the main website.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:03 PM ^
Honestly, has there ever been a better coach-school fit than Dantonio-MSU?
September 20th, 2011 at 4:06 PM ^
Charlie Weis
September 20th, 2011 at 4:10 PM ^
Tressel
September 20th, 2011 at 4:16 PM ^
Tressel doesn't remind me much of the OSU fanbase.
..Then again...Tress is win at all costs. You've just convinced me.
September 20th, 2011 at 6:31 PM ^
Persona-wise, he's nothing like them. Values-wise, he's very similar.
In those respects, he is the exact inverse of Woody Hayes.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:12 PM ^
is not many schools Charlie Weis can fit into...
September 20th, 2011 at 4:18 PM ^
I AM THIS TOWN!!!
September 20th, 2011 at 4:28 PM ^
What a weak point. He obviously didn't attend "To The Point: How I Harnessed the Power of the Digit" at the Brady Hoke School for Coaches Who Can't Point Very Good. Leave the pointing to people who know how to wield its power.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:31 PM ^
is wimpy like he wants a butterfly to land on his finger
September 20th, 2011 at 5:59 PM ^
Eat said butterfly? (Yes, Charlie Weis fat-jokes are still funny.)
September 20th, 2011 at 8:01 PM ^
Note to Charlie Weis: butterflys are NOT made of actual butter...sorry.
September 21st, 2011 at 1:56 PM ^
then get got smart and he went to florida, they sit at home eating cheeseburgers and pass people in the polls.
September 20th, 2011 at 7:07 PM ^
Tremendous.
September 20th, 2011 at 9:06 PM ^
Oh noes...the dreaded double point.
September 20th, 2011 at 5:14 PM ^
not, "I AM THIS TOWN," he's saying "I ATE THIS TOWN."
September 20th, 2011 at 8:45 PM ^
I know that guy. He's gonna be on Dancing with the Stars.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:09 PM ^
September 20th, 2011 at 5:34 PM ^
Not to take away from your excellent comment, but Kiffin wasn't too bad a fit with Tennessee either.
September 20th, 2011 at 5:43 PM ^
Nick Saban and Alabama are a perfect fit too.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:17 PM ^
JLS was a pretty good fit.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:27 PM ^
Say his name in East Lansing and people go nuts.
Trust me, I know.
September 20th, 2011 at 5:26 PM ^
area on business often. I do not mention anything about UM/MSU sports because they have 6' antenna, a fight waiting to happen.
September 20th, 2011 at 5:40 PM ^
Or worse of MSU. I think Dantonio would make a better Buckeye.
September 21st, 2011 at 12:07 AM ^
I think all this talk of 'fit' stirs up some very interesting observations, so im going to throw my two sense in for the hell of it. Dantonio is a great fit for MSU, because like everyone I know at MSU hes always trying to point out where hes better than Michigan. I agree with you all in that Tress wasnt a great fit for the Ohio fanbase, and that many coaches out there are not great fits for their fanbases. Other coaches that are perfect fits for their schools/fanbases would be Brady-UM, Mack Brown-Texas, Fitzgerald-NU, Bielema-Wisco, Ferentz-Iowa (because both are so boring). Im also going to throw it out there, one of the best school coach fits I can think of in recent memory has to be RichRod-WVU...he just fit there.
September 20th, 2011 at 5:54 PM ^
Jumping to another sport - Tark @ UNLV
September 20th, 2011 at 6:25 PM ^
But still, nice point.

Brady Hoke at Michigan
September 20th, 2011 at 4:04 PM ^
During the ND game on my 46" HD TV.....lots of priceless dumbfoundeders
September 20th, 2011 at 4:14 PM ^
46 inch? pshhhhh, 54 in 3d plasma......POW
September 20th, 2011 at 4:16 PM ^
Oh look it's that douchey MGoBlog user.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:26 PM ^
Potbelly's stock options vested it was all models and bottles from then on.
September 20th, 2011 at 5:01 PM ^
"I have come to realize that the students that go here are over-privileged, whiny rich kids who don't know jack shit about the real world."
Ahhhh memories.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:06 PM ^
I bet he would like to have the #1 OL recruiting class in the country.......like some people do.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:08 PM ^
Just gotta wait for those national recruits to come in. I'm terrified of what a recruiting power MSU is nationally.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:27 PM ^
But are they selling Michigan State jerseys in Ohio?
September 20th, 2011 at 4:34 PM ^
what hell people think about the rivalry now?
September 20th, 2011 at 4:46 PM ^
Both of them are sold, but it took about 14 months.
September 20th, 2011 at 5:22 PM ^
I think Hoke has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell people in Ohio are starting to believe him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Selling Michigan jerseys is a good start.
September 20th, 2011 at 5:27 PM ^
now count as another state?
September 20th, 2011 at 6:32 PM ^
Taylor Lewan
hates
donkeys
and, regarding Dantonio...douches and brah's
September 20th, 2011 at 7:19 PM ^
Ricky and Julians O-Line class, Mr. Lahey.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:06 PM ^
Ohhhhh burn!!!!!! That guy is at the top of his game.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:06 PM ^
over 20 of theirs. Quality > quantity
September 20th, 2011 at 4:08 PM ^
watching his facial expressions in 4 weeks when he realizes that the joy ride is over.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:09 PM ^
Its statements like these that continue to support the "little brother" label.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:23 PM ^
I agree completely. It's amazing how whenever their program is criticized, sparties immediately launch into little brother mode with the "we do this better than Michigan" when Michigan isn't even part of the conversation.
An excellent example of this was yesterday afternoon on 97.1 by my least favorite Sparty and radio personality (no not Valenti). Caputo apprently took exception to Fithian's comment about how MSU never shows up on a national stage, which is mostly true. Caputo's response to this is, "We showed up when the lights were brightest at Michigan last year and ran them up and down the field" Michigan wasn't even part of the conversation.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:47 PM ^
...except they keep forgetting how to get to the national stage.
