per Greder:
Blasts from an airhorn pierced eardrums and injected anxiety into the hearts of Gophers football players at random times during team weight-lifting sessions last winter.
The sound meant two players would be called out for a head-to-head pull-up contest. While competitors chalked up their hands, teammates had to pick who they thought would win and stand behind them. Losers had to hold a plank position.
The concept was to create synthetic pressure on the players so that when the big moments came on the field, they were ready to respond. Moments such as Saturday, when No. 8 Minnesota (10-1, 7-1) plays No. 12 Wisconsin (9-2, 6-2) for the Battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe, the Big Ten West Division title and a spot in the conference championship game.

Fleck has put Gophers through pressure-packed scenarios all year
