I am a bit saddened that this is probably the last time I will write The Losing Effect: That Team with Brady Hoke as their head coach.
After finishing the season 5-7 and 3-5 in the B1G for the second straight season I'm going to turn this piece over to the fans on MGoLive.com:
31-20 (.608) with That Team, 78-70 (.527) career, and 0-3 against Urban Meyer.
THOUGHTS ON HOKE
User -not That user
Fuck it.
He was never the right hire to replace an underperforming head coach with a proven (and since confirmed) record.
I regret his hiring and I'm not sorry to see him go.

Brady Hole is not a nice guy. He's an incompetent asshat who took a potentially great team and turned it into a joke, a clown show for everyone to poke at.
He took many millions of dollars, and ruined something we all care greatly about.
Until he quits and apologizes, fuck Brady Hoke.
I'm going to miss the clapper.

How the hell did they win a Bowl with our clap happy sorry excuse of a coach.
Motley Blue
Of course we all know what's coming. But man, the depths to which this program has sunk on the field is just amazing. The last two years have been an absolute disaster.
WHO THEY WANT TO COACH NEXT SEASON
It's Harbaugh, Miles or bust for most of their fans.

Let's hope Jim Hackett was texting Jim Harbaugh when the camera was on him
danmac24
Its JH or bust Because he brings instant cred and with that brings recruits. That talent wins nearly every time. No talent no wins, simple concept!
Tomcat16
dude Unless we get a Harbaugh or Miles; keep Hoke. (And Clark.) why make a change if not a big name guy (or gal)? makes no sense.
MichiganExile
I'd take Grace Harbaugh at this point. Just get rid of Hoke.
THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PROGRAM
When you compare your team to Northwestern and Vanderbilt you are in a bad state.
Mr. Yost
I'm sick. I'm so tired of losing to the fucking Buckeyes. I miss the Cooper Era.
There is no reason why we can't be an elite program. We're Vanderbilt. We're Northwestern. We're pathetic.
Their softball team is good.
Princtonwolverine
We are a softball school, damn it (that is a complement to the softball team)
TennBlue
I was so excited for the coming of football season
and now I'm glad it's over. The whole thing has just been sad, start to finish.

With the talent Michigan had this year, there's no way they should have finished 5-7. Horrible.
Better than watching That Team
MGoEOD
What did I miss? I took my daughter to the movies today. Wizard of Oz on the big screen. One of her favorites. Thanks, Brady, for helping me realign my priorities.
I think they do.
MoBlueMen
never imagined we would be back at this same position so soon after RR era....sad day for sure

Didn't watch 'the game'. First time since 1973. when I was 13. I just don't care.
RJWolvie
Sigh. Turning into the Lions on losing & even losing at losing
Stringer Bell
It's amazing that this is what Hoke has turned us into. At least they made a game of it. My how we've fallen. Hoke has run this program into the ground.
LET'S END WITH THESE
RockinLoud
I'm just glad I don't have to eat a lemon, poop it out, then eat it again like I said I would if OSU didn't win this game.
BayWolves
That's all folks. Hoke? He gone.
I predict that Monday afternoon we will see this headline
