What are Fleck’s go-to foods? Fried olives and Sweet Martha’s cookies. He says the team’s trip to the State Fair is one his favorite days of the year.
"This is awesome. This is one of their favorite days, one of my favorite days because you’re out with the fans, you’re out with the state of Minnesota. Not just the Twin City area, all of Minnesota," Fleck said. "When you get the whole state of Minnesota here, it kind of feels like game day. It’s fun for our players that are new that have never experienced a state fair of any kind."
New quarterback Max Brosmer experienced his first State Fair ever, and had to get some help from his Minnesota teammates on what foods to try.
"I’ve heard a lot things about a corn dog I’m supposed to try today. Bacon on a stick or something, and Martha’s cookies? I want to try some of those," Brosmer said. "I’m just a big sweets guy in general, I’m a big candy guy so I’ve got a big jar of gummy bears to end the day at home right."
He’ll be the starting quarterback next Thursday when the Gophers host the Tar Heels. He’ll get his first taste of Power 5 football after throwing for more than 8,700 yards and 70 touchdowns at New Hampshire.
The challenge will be for those numbers to carry over to Big Ten level defenses.
"This is my first time playing in the Big Ten and I’m super excited to do it with this team. It’s the excitement of playing at a new level, a new challenge and I think we can do special things this year." Brosmer said.
