Title: "Michigan's Fitz Toussaint, Frank Clark suspended for Alabama game" Post by: Chechem on August 31, 2012, 12:25:06 PM http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2012/08/michigans_fitz_toussaint_frank.html
Quote Michigan tailback Fitz Toussaint and defensive end Frank Clark won't play in the Wolverines' season opener after offseason arrests, coach Brady Hoke announced Friday. Toussaint_Vertical.jpgAnnArbor.com file photoMichigan tailback Fitz Toussaint will not play Saturday against Alabama. Hoke said the players were suspended for one game and will not make the trip to Arlington, Texas. Michigan faces No. 2 Alabama at 8 p.m. Saturday on ABC... Okay. Maybe Brady Hoke is in charge after all. :dunno: Title: Re: "Michigan's Fitz Toussaint, Frank Clark suspended for Alabama game" Post by: Chechem on August 31, 2012, 12:27:36 PM Michigan fans: "That Brady Hoke, he knows football. He's sly; made Alabama prepare for a running game, then pulled Toussaint. He's real smart, that Brady."

He's been there one year and has had some success and I think this suspension will create more respect from the players than he has had since becoming their head coach. This is a big game for their team and these players know how important it is and to watch their coach suspend their best running back really sends a message to the others that making the right decisions will keep you on the team. I think he will do well at Michigan.

It should have been made clear months ago, but by making it an issue this close to kickoff he hopes the announcers will continuously remind viewers of his tough minded discipline and the Michigan excuse for getting pounded.Title: Re: "Michigan's Fitz Toussaint, Frank Clark suspended for Alabama game" Post by: Catch Prothro on August 31, 2012, 09:07:03 PM ]He is maximizing the exposure of this incident.

I can hear the echos of the past. "Well, if Colt McCoy had stayed in the game....".

I take back all the crappy stuff I didn't say about Hoke :clap: paint me blue and call me babe , I'da never thunk it :dunno: Title: Re: "Michigan's Fitz Toussaint, Frank Clark suspended for Alabama game" Post by: BamaFanInACCLand on September 01, 2012, 11:23:07 AM Yeah...I guess I better give Hoke some props for this one. Even though I would love to go against Meechigan at their best, I am always glad to see a coach with morals and testicular fortitude.
