Love him or hate him, you gotta give the guy credit. He is finding new ways to connect to the fans and change the culture around Minnesota football.
He has been highly visible in the community and that is very good to see. I am hoping I can see him when the Gopher Chalk Talk Tour hits the state in June.
I have a couple of cousins who are pretty plugged into Badgers football and they are nervous about PJ Fleck coming to Minnesota. They said good things about Jerry Kill too but they seem more nervous now with PJ Fleck coming to Minnesota. As one of them said to me "I think our [Wisconsin] run is going to be ending soon" They have never seemed this concerned with Minnesota in the past so it's nice to know at least a few Wisconsin fans are starting to get nervous with the change occurring in Minneapolis. I know we still need to beat the Badgers on the field and re-claim the Axe but it was just nice to hear some Wisconsin fans who are getting a little nervous about Minnesota.
