Seriously.....couldn't pick a school to be a part of this more than you could Duke.
I'm surprised when the dude wasn't bowled over, there wasn't a bench shot of 6 walk-ons all standing up & motioning traveling/charging.........
In all seriousness, discussion needs to happen to allow for...
-Liked that regardless of weather, I would be comfortable. As much as I like the weather elements, sometimes it's nice to be comfortable. I remember 2001 last game vs Wisconsin, both teams not going to a bowl game, Saturday after Thanksgiving, and it was cold & rainy outside. That would have...
Minnesota was 1 & St Cloud was 6 last year. I realize Penn State (8) was a host, but they definitely could have swapped SCSU with (7) Harvard if they had wanted to....

To me, if Fleck left for UCLA, it tells me more he wanted out of Minnesota, whether it truly wasn't where he wanted to be or he wanted to...
In addition, when those NFL teams have a down year, they are rewarded with a higher draft pick, so there can potentially be a light at the end of the tunnel.
