Can we just reinterpret Ski-U-Mah to mean "Row the Boat?" #SUM #Ski-U-Mah
This famous Minnesota phrase Ski-U-Mah (pronounced SKY-YOU-MAH) is more than 115 years old. In 1884, two Minnesota rowing team members, John W. Adams and Win Sargent, tried to think of a fitting team yell. They used the word “Ski”, a Sioux battle cry meaning row, and combined it with “U-Mah” (representing the "the boat" and rhyming with “rah-rah-rah”) to create a team cheer. The phrase stuck and was incorporated into both official school songs, “Hail Minnesota” and more commonly in the “Minnesota Rouser.”
Nadine, you should have gotten the first interview. You work harder than those old media types, and have access to the people this guy should care about: the diehards. PR mistake number one!
"You didn't pick me, but I picked you."
got damn this dude is really hitting the ground running.

Ok - the Gophers have a shiny new toy, and everyone is excited.
I hope it works out. I hope Fleck is successful.
but, please - please - please - let's not forget how we got here.
Let's not forget that the Gopher AD is at best a terrible communicator, and at worst is a bald-faced liar.
Let's not forget that some good people and good coaches lost their jobs.
Let's not forget that 10 Gopher athletes are suspended - some likely for good reason - but some quite possibly for no good reason - and they are forced to appeal their suspensions just for their cases to be heard before a (hopefully) impartial panel.
let's not forget how we got here.
Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it.

I have been thinking about a new slogan for Fleck since WMU owns "Row The Boat". I am going to toss in "Fill The Bank"
It can play on multiple levels. 1. Filling "TCF stadium". Creating an excitement around the program to pack the place. 2. Putting in "Work" each and every day to grow and earn your paycheck. Investing in yourselves to create a strong foundation to live upon 3. Making the Withdrawal i.e. filling up your bank account so you can make a large withdrawal i.e. a trip to Indy & eventually Rose Bowl.
Banks charge usery fees and pay no meaningful interest on deposits. Banks serve only themselves at the expense of clients. Please!...choose another analogy.
