Be fair, I made one post on it and that could have been the end of it. But people keep bringing it up.

That might be true. I don't imagine that he's crying in his closet. But I object to Fleck's falseness and lack of integrity.

You have an awful lot of hostility toward someone you don't know, ITG.

Don't worry. That wasn't a collective You.

No, he was referring to some other halfback who ran for two yards in the game he was talking about.

Don't worry. Someday Fleck will move on to another school, and you'll hate him. Then you'll be far worse than me.

I was never a fan of the golden loafer thing.

I won't be patient with a coach who publicly rubs his player's face in his failure. And Fleck's comment, though brief, was anything but vague. When I start advertising my virtuousness and spouting Forget About Me I Love You to show how great I am, then start holding me to an elevated standard.

Reading for comprehension isn't your thing, is it?

I'm over myself. I just have a hard time getting over Fleck's hypocrisy. He couldn't find it in himself to praise one guy without taking a shot at another guy. It reveals something that we alreayd know: he isn't the man he pretends to be. Don't be a moron.

Agree completely. I coached a different sport, but the principle is the same. You have to recognize as a coach that some athletes aren't going to succeed, whether it's physical ability, drive, disposition, or whatever. One thing that a lot of fans and a few coaches need to learn is that...

The Gophers would be fortunate to look as good against OSU as the Badgers did.

It is definitely a shot, it can't be anything else. Funny that you pretend it could be anything else. Fleck had two RBs available. One he runs 40 for 204 yards, the other gets 2 carries for 2 yards. He specifically says, "When you get [an opportunity], what are you going to do with it? Do...

Interesting that you put it in terms of sensitivity. I would put it in terms of utility, respect, and virtue. It wasn't coaching, was it? Taking shots at your own players has no utility. It wasn't respectful. I thought Fleck believed in Respect. It doesn't demonstrate forbearance, kindness...

What would be the point of publicly humiliating our players? I don't know. What would ever be the point?

Kaliakmanis turns the ball over. I don't see Fleck trying to humiliate him.

I'm talking about physicality and punishment here. I don't know whether you've noticed, but win or lose, the Gophers are very physical. But to be fair, the Urban Meyer quote I referred to he was talking about the Jerry Kill era.

It was a dark and stormy night.

I disagree. I like the traditional ground game, especially when we have gifted backs. Control the ball, control the clock, minimize mistakes, outmuscle your opponent, wear 'em out. Even if you don't win, they remember you and they dread playing you. I recently heard Urban Meyer say that very...

I'm happy for ol' Jer. I really am. I still like the guy.
