Brady Hoke, sadly, no longer coaches Michigan. The coach we all know and love lives in semi-retirement among the echoes of Sirius XM's airwaves(!?).
Hoke's old team — boy, those were the days — is hosting its little brother, who is adult now and actually the bigger of the two brothers.
From DetroitNews.com:
"Michigan State, they're coming in this game limping a little bit from an injury standpoint, but I did like in just evaluating how (quarterback) Connor Cook played last week (at Rutgers), he threw for 357 yards," Hoke said on SiriusXM. "I think matching their receivers will be the first test for Michigan's defensive backs.
"Now, that (Michigan) pass rush and the way the front four is playing and the front seven, they're playing awfully hard. I think this is going to be a great game. I think Michigan is going to win the game, but I also think this is exactly what Mark Dantonio and Michigan State (like). They feed off everyone talking about Michigan, and that's just the way their makeup is."
Hoke said the team that doesn't turn the ball over and can run the ball will win.
This is a bad omen for the team up north, right? I feel like this is a bad omen. Let us hope it is.
