    NDSU HC leaving for USC assistant role

    It's happening... 2 teams in SD stealing their lunch money... UND and Northern Iowa still being pests... St. Thomas moving up might really hurt NDSU if they can convince some of those MN kids that an education here is much more desirable than one from Fargo. It's going to get real interesting...

    NDSU HC leaving for USC assistant role

    I think NDSU fans should pay attention to Nebraska... it's what they've got to look forward to. They'll hang on to past glory just like the clodhoppers to the south, and they'll also have to face the fact that their football world will never be what it once was. Those days are most likely gone...

    Brady Pretzlaff de commits from MN.

    Hopefully, the Gophers will be loaded and have no need for him...

    Who is starting at QB in our bowl game?

    The game would be infinitely more interesting with Max Shikenjanski as QB... but Kramer has certainly earned the opportunity if he wants it.

    Official 2024 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    ...and that's the battle that PJ lost, leading to this 5-7 season. Bringing in a couple of nice players (and several that don't belong at this level) each year just isn't going to cut it. He's going to have to up his transfer portal game quite a bit to continue to field a competent squad.

    2023-24 College Football Transfer Portal Thread

    Seems the 'net figures that Thor Griffith wants to play for either Ohio State or Michigan with his 1 remaining year... we'll see if either offer him.

    Shipley: Fleck’s team is staying out of trouble, graduating and winning. If that’s not enough for you, pay better attention

    To really, really simplify this... as long as his players continue to hand the football directly to the officials, I'm not jumping out of the boat. Just that one simple act speaks volumes about the young men PJ brings into the program. I'm not sure I wouldn't be happy tossing Greg Harbaugh out...

    Strack: PJ Fleck Must Find Quarterback He Can Trust in Offseason

    The players (and, often more importantly, the parents) have to drink the Kool-Aid, so to speak. That's the only way that PJ can overcome the lack of significant NIL money. Truth be told, I don't think PJ Fleck would want any player whose only concern is how much cash they're going to receive...

    2020-2021 recruiting misses

    Yeah, it's great seeing what fine young men PJ has been bringing into the program. Definitely nice to see that none of his recruits, over the years, have seemed to be "train" enthusiasts.

    Post Game Thread: OSU Blows Out Minnesota

    If bringing in "his" boys to run his offense (and coach his QBs) is the hill PJ Fleck has decided to die on... He's in a lot of trouble. All he has to do is look back at what happened to the last Slogan-slingin' head coach we had here in Minnesota. Tim Brewster made mistake after mistake with...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OHIO STATE, LET'S SHOCK THE WORLD IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Taylor Kitch as Tim Riggins was a pretty solid running back on Friday Night Lights... maybe he's got some eligibility.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OHIO STATE, LET'S SHOCK THE WORLD IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    They'd need to make some first downs to accomplish that...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OHIO STATE, LET'S SHOCK THE WORLD IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I was really hoping that, with all the pressure off due to everyone on the planet knowing that tOSU was going to curbstomp the Gophers, the braintrust of Harbaugh & Simon (and Fleck) were going to let AK8 just sling it out there. That lasted about 1 play when AK drilled the ball into the turf.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OHIO STATE, LET'S SHOCK THE WORLD IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Yep, that's what the Gophers have left... Anyone (healthy enough to play)

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OHIO STATE, LET'S SHOCK THE WORLD IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    At some point, PJ is gonna have to face up to the fact that either AK8 isn't a very good college QB... or his boy Greg Harbaugh is not a quarterback whisperer.

    Souhan: Fleck has made this program all about him. His players have been asked to stand when he enters a room and are left to parrot his cliches

    Do you really think that they care whether or not you agree with what Pat McAfee has to say? They care about eyeballs... whether you watch because you love Pat's schtick or tune in 'cause you think he's an asshole. What the network can't have is apathy. It's more or less the same for Souhan or...

    Souhan: Fleck has made this program all about him. His players have been asked to stand when he enters a room and are left to parrot his cliches

    If you read his work because you agree with his opinions... and are a big fan of his, great. If you read his stuff just so you can shit all over his stupid, lazy opinions... also great. The paper really doesn't give a hoot as to why you pay attention to Souhan's writing... just as long as you're...

    Souhan: Fleck has made this program all about him. His players have been asked to stand when he enters a room and are left to parrot his cliches

    Well, Souhan is a columnist... not a reporter. He (like Patrick Reusse) has more latitude to expose his opinion... and doesn't have to pretend to be unbiased. They're shit-talkers, and are only employed to garner readership. Love 'em or hate 'em, it doesn't really matter. All the paper cares...

    Souhan: Fleck has made this program all about him. His players have been asked to stand when he enters a room and are left to parrot his cliches

    There's no doubt that some players have left because they didn't buy into PJ Fleck's philosophy... but there have been many, many who've willingly drunk the Kool-Aid, so to speak. Antoine Winfield is still rowing the boat in the NFL, as his TD celebration yesterday shows. As Fleck has stated...
