per Chip:
P.J. Fleck was sitting alone in the visiting locker room after pregame warmups Saturday, a quiet moment to collect his thoughts and prepare mentally for all the decisions and scenarios he would soon encounter.
Just then, Gophers football general manager Gerrit Chernoff interrupted that silence with breaking news. Undefeated and sixth-ranked Wisconsin lost to Illinois on a last-second field goal.
“I think you need to tell the team,” Chernoff said.
Fleck wasn’t crazy about Chernoff’s idea but “dropped it in” during his speech right before his team took the field.
“I dropped it in as proof that, if you don’t [play well], this could happen to you,” Fleck said. “That’s college football. Jim Tressel taught me a long time ago that the greatest thing about college football is you have no idea what’s going to happen. That’s what makes it really hard, and that’s what makes it beautiful at the same time.”
Translation: Don’t overlook lowly Rutgers.
