I think you guys are getting worked up about something that's not worth getting worked up over.

He is the same as any other coach they bring in here. I'll give him about 3 - 4 years to show he is taking the program in the right direction. If he gives us at long last a winning program, I really couldn't care less what he puts on the helmets. If he is a loser, get rid of him for that reason and his mantra goes with him.

Minnesota GOPHERS

Not OARS
NOT ROW THE BOATERS

REAL programs don't put cutesy slogans on the uniforms. Don't have to. They WIN.

Yeah, I guess having oars and a slogan on our helmets prevents us from winning.

All I know is that this year he pulled in our best recruiting class in over a decade and these kids were tweeting "row the boat" in making their announcements. It may come across as annoying and stupid to a bunch of old fart, crotchety baby boomers like us, but the only thing that matters is how the young millenials he is recruiting respond to it. I'll give it a couple years before I judge it.

DRINK THE KOOL-AID

Can't wait for him to make this an elite program.

When proven wrong, I'll be a happy camper.

But I don't see it. The decision to use one turd at QB all year was horrible.

He used two turds, not one. That's all he had to choose from at QB was turds. Jeez, give the guy a chance to win or lose with his own players playing his own system before you dog pile on him and proclaim his program a failure. Oh, right, he put those oars on his helmet. I bet his recruits play loud music after 10:00 too.

I bet he was expecting a weak first year. Usually happens when you take over a program that is not a perennial power. It's the honey moon year. The coaches implement their system and refuse to tear a red shirt off anyone unless injuries force it. Fleck is hardly unique among coaches in their first year in going through this.

Look I'm as fatalistic as the next Gopher football fan, but I'm going to wait until it his program and his players before I rip on the results.

Lots of other coaches come in and are at least competitive if not a winner right away.

Almost NEVER happens at the U

It's even worse when you see how much of a blowhard he was prior to the first season.

So get the hell off my lawn. And stay off!!

Like I said unless they are taking over a well established program after someone retires, most don't. So, I will stay off your lawn and stop playing my rock and roll music after 10 pm.

Biggest anger for me is ... every couple years

Iowa, top 5 in country
Wisconsin, top 5 in country
Penn State, top 5 in country
Northwestern, top 5 in country
Even Purdue

NEVER HERE

Why can we never have nice things?
We hear coaches salary, pfft
We hear facilities, pffft
We hear
We hear
We hear
Shut up and DO for a change

Wrasslin', softball, and volleyball don't count.

Darn minor sports over-achieving

The big kids programs are consistent.

Yep. I still remember the big upset of Purdue in 67 and tie for the Big Ten title that let us think that winning titles were still possible here. Then the next 50 years happened.
