At least Hoke tookthe high road and issued the proper apology, unlike the ass-clown head coach in EL who's response was to whine and try to run up the score. I mean really, come on. Regardless of their recent record it just reinforces their longstanding image of a second tier player - it will never change.

It wasn't so much that they scored - no problem there - but I think I saw somewhere he acknowledged he did it as retribution - that's when he looks like an idiot.

Why are we apologizing? Stupid. The rivalry deserves a hard fought, tough, but clean game. If it takes a stake in the ground to make it happen, it is within our right to do that, and MSU should respect that.
We are Wolverines, we bow to no one.

Not one player on their team could look me in the eye and honestly say they wouldn't have done the exact same thing on our field if given the chance.

I'm with you on this, especially after seeing the video. In the scheme of all that is wrong with this program, the players putting a stake in the ground is last on the list of things to get upset about.
October 26th, 2014 at 4:06 PM ^
I am so sick of the holier-than-thou fans around here. This event is not an additional event that people are pissed off about in its individuallity or in a vacuum - it is synechdochic. It represents "all that is wrong with this program."

I wish I could go back 20 years before this 24-hour news cycle so that stupid, irrelevant shit wouldn't be brought up by every butt-hurt coach who can't just win a game of football without bitching about a college player trying to motivate his team during a trying time.
October 26th, 2014 at 2:57 PM ^
What did Dantonio do wrong, except prove that our coach is a huge pussy?
October 26th, 2014 at 3:02 PM ^
Same thing with the running up the score BS.
It was a 24 point loss. How many times has the winning margin been over 24 for michigan? Was that running up the score?
The whining from the fan base has reached epic porportions without any reality or perspective. Sick
October 26th, 2014 at 3:47 PM ^
We get it. You are superior to the rest of us. You dont need to keep repeating over and over.
October 26th, 2014 at 3:00 PM ^
October 26th, 2014 at 3:04 PM ^
Can we just stop making excuses and apologies for everything. Two years in a row we had an extra week to prepare for Sparty and we got blown out both times.

Would love to see a gif of the spike being driven into DB or BH with a mortal kombat style kill animation....
This game and act should be the final death blow.
Finish Them!

I'm glad Dantonio acts the way he does. Wait until Harbaugh shows up with worse bulletin board material and then kicks his cry baby ass year after year. MSU is on par with Ohio to me now.
October 26th, 2014 at 3:23 PM ^
Why the hell is Hoke apologizing? Do you job.
October 26th, 2014 at 3:23 PM ^
You're 3-4, a 17+ point road dog, can't stop gifting turnovers, can't get to the QB, can't pick up a blitz, can't stop dropping passes, and blowing coverages in prolific fashion.
Just stop with the stupid, over-the-top theatrics and play football. Why is that so fucking hard to understand.
A public apology for this stupid stunt is not necessary, unless he knew about it and encouraged it. But Hoke could have gone into the Spartan's locker room and issued the same apology.
October 26th, 2014 at 3:26 PM ^
Would they have apologized to us?! No. They would have tried to pin 70 on us.
October 26th, 2014 at 3:32 PM ^
October 26th, 2014 at 3:27 PM ^
I guess where I'm at with this is call Dantonio to apologize. Handle it privately. If you want to mention you did so in your presser if you're asked about it, go ahead. But why is a press release necessary? Especially when your explanation sounds so completely asinine?
October 26th, 2014 at 3:34 PM ^
It's the same reason GM knew about their ignition problem for 10 years and did nothing about it. Michigan needs to start over with regards to athletics because sure, they make a new corvette every once in a while, but they are putting out too many cobalts.
October 26th, 2014 at 10:24 PM ^
This was definitely not worthy of a press release. Why does BH feel the need to bow to Dantonio? His nature seems to be to show preference to his superiors.
October 26th, 2014 at 3:27 PM ^
October 26th, 2014 at 3:30 PM ^
I know Harbaugh is not coming here, however, what I would give to see him come in here and clean out the Big 10. What he would do to MSU would be epic and stroke inducing to many on the MSU staff.

Welcome to Michigan 2014
October 26th, 2014 at 3:33 PM ^
Why is this asshat still the Michigan head coach? Schlissel needs to step in and can both Hoke and Dave Brandon ASAP. Hoke has completely lost control. He looks absolutely clueless on the field. Brandon seems to pre-occupied in saving his own ass to give a crap.
October 26th, 2014 at 3:39 PM ^
Can we drag the program any further into the ditch? Y'all don't have to answer that...
October 26th, 2014 at 3:41 PM ^
October 26th, 2014 at 3:47 PM ^
Which is why everyone needs to be broomed, starting with Brandon. Time to set a completely new tone at Schembechler Hall. This doesn't have to be the Michigan way, if Schlissel has the courage to do it the right way now.
October 26th, 2014 at 5:31 PM ^
he's el grande puto nation wide,I'm sure.
Like izzo,dantoino going to play this up in the media,high school coaches and in recurits home. Like UM...he's truly petty & quite despicable
October 26th, 2014 at 3:48 PM ^
We got dominated out there. Michigan State really didn't play their best game and they still dominated us.
He saw the stake incident and it didn't make sense to him. It's a red letter game since 1969 and nothing more needs to be said for motivation. Players work hard but something is missing, it seems like there is no passion and players are not having fun. This coming from a former player and a father of two current players on the team.
October 26th, 2014 at 3:45 PM ^
Child rearing/Psych 101: Ignore the bad, reward the good. We should have ignored Dantonio's comments and moved on. This is also PR 101. Instead, we've just fed the beast.
