U-M's Hoke has 3-can't miss reminders above rivals

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Michigan coach Brady Hoke will lead college football's winningest program on the practice field for the first time Saturday.

Hoke has already sent messages about what matters most.

Near his office in Schembechler Hall, a graduate assistant is in charge of updating the number of days it has been since Michigan beat Ohio State. It's been more than 2,600 days and seven straight losses.

That red-lettered reminder is in the middle of two countdown clocks until the next games against Ohio State and Michigan State. Michigan has lost three straight to the Spartans.
