Very cool! Really like the two coaches we have in Minnesota right now.
Perhaps the Minnesota Pro Sports cabal is done keeping down Gopher football

I've been here since 1989. Has this level of connection occurred before? Certainly seems to be "no" from '89 to now...

They mention this play:
Vikings could have used some of that accuracy.

I don't recall anything like this level of contact and so on.
KOC and PJ both seem to be general sports fans on top of football coaches and happy to go out and be visible places like on the field. That helps.

Fleck definitely has been a booster of all Minnesota sports.

No.
Not even close.
People want instant results, but the reality is that, as fans, we are in the dawn of a Golden Age.

I'm sure it helps he's got a couple Gophers on the roster.
A lot of head football coaches are massive pricks. At least ny outward appearances, Minnesota doesn't have that presence.

Fleck has definitely elevated the profile of the Gophers! Also nice to hear KFAN boys talk about our beloved rodents with Grim and Thompson on Monday morning and K State alum Ben Leber attending games too

Minnesota is a unique place - I feel like there are Twins fans, Gophers fans, Timberwolves fans, Wild fans... but there are more diehard Viking fans than the rest of the fans combined. I am probably a prime example - I absolutely love the Gophers, but on Sundays I bleed purple. You either compete against them and you're not going to win, or you build a relationship and use that to enhance your brand.
Easy recruiting tool for Fleck also to talk about the relationship he has the NFL team that is a couple of miles from campus. KOC is around our program, games, etc and we make a point to go to a Vikings game as a team.
I would assume the vast majority of our recruits have dreams/visions of playing in the NFL some day.
