All Things Roman Voss Thread (Gophers Commit!)

Why Roman Voss chose the Gophers, even after Alabama rolled out the red carpet​

He chose the Gophers, staying in his home state and committing to a group of coaches — head coach P.J. Fleck, offensive coordinator Greg Harbaugh Jr. and tight ends coach Eric Koehler — who earned his trust.

“I just thought the people make the place,” Voss said Tuesday in a phone interview with the Minnesota Star Tribune. “The place doesn’t make the people.”

That’s not a criticism of coach Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide staff — “Their people were great,” Voss said. “They were awesome”– but rather a tribute to the relationship that Fleck and Co. built since becoming the first program to show interest in Voss in April 2024.

“That coaching staff believes in me more than any coaching staff in the country,” Voss said. “I have a very good connection with them, and I think I have a good chance to play early in my career and hopefully make an impact right away.”

Go Gophers!!
 

Last night my wife and I had dinner at the Hi-Lo Club in Lakefield (hometown of Voss). If you are ever headed West toward Sioux Falls on 90, I highly recommend. About one mile off the interstate. I’m not a world traveler by any means but it was quite possibly the best meal I’ve ever had in my life. The world needs more Supper Clubs.

What did you have?

14 Oz Ribeye, baked potato with butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon and chives and some creamed corn. Everything was fantastic.

I've been wanting to chuck that place out but when the Bergen Bar, just north of Jackson, is 25 minutes closer and is an absolute legendary steak (literally) house, it's impossible not to stop.
 






Seeing Bama lose on Saturday and some of the pressure the coach is going to be under, it was a top reason that coming to MN for Voss was a great decision. Stability is huge in our program right now.

Yeah, that's one advantage we have with PJ. Another is the "life program".

But yes, you make a great point that #2 is pretty much out of the race now - who knows who'll be coaching the Tide next year, but Voss should be signed here before that decision is made.

What if the person lives in, say Anoka, and left from home. It is perfectly reasonable to take about 3 hours to get there.

I think maybe you're taking a silly comment more seriously than it deserves.

But yes, I could drive from Anoka to Jackson in less than three hours, even after stopping at Burger King in Fairmont for an original chicken sandwich. The kind that's made with a ground chicken patty, mayo, and shredded lettuce. I really think it's the best thing on Burger King's menu.

But I might not be strictly adhering to all speed ordinances at all times.

Well, if you were wearing iowa gear and going the speed limit, they should pull you over for a probably DUI.

There is some truth to the bolded. Every time I'm driving at night and I see someone strictly adhering to the speed limit whilst everyone else passes by at 5-10 mph over, it's pretty obvious who doesn't wanna take the breathalyzer.
