Plane with 'Keep Brady Hoke' banner flies before Michigan-Michigan State game (Photo)

There aren’t many people in the state of Michigan who want Brady Hoke to keep his job as the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines, but it appears that Michigan State fans certainly do.

Before Saturday’s kickoff in East Lansing between the in-state rivals, a plane was spotted flying around with a banner that reads: “U OF M – KEEP BRADY HOKE – PLZZZ.”

I’d assume that some Michigan State fans were behind this funny stunt. Coming off last season’s Big Ten title, the Spartans, currently ranked No. 8, are riding high, especially after Saturday's 35-11 victory. Meanwhile, Michigan has stumbled to 3-4 and fans having been clamoring for Hoke to lose his job.

Maybe this is a bit of revenge for Michigan paying for planes to skywrite “Go Blue” in East Lansing last September.

Well played.
