Lee?
Too funny.Mitch who?
This is it. He quit. History says he quit to move on to coach elsewhere. He’ll do it again. Ask Rebecca.He did not retire. He quit. He didn’t take a leave.
He quit. He never came back.
He quit. This is literally what the word quit means
This is funny. The Big Ten West is weaker than it has ever been since Fleck has been here and he has done nothing with it. In fact, he’s gone backward. I don’t want him fired, but have little confidence he can get things on the right track if he doesn’t change things up. He inherited a good thing, and his best year was a collection of Kill/Claeys recruits with his. While 8-4 last couple of regular seasons, those seasons are not impressive with the easy schedules faced and the blown chance at winning an awful division.I like both guys as individuals. Kill is doing well in the conference that he is in where he belongs. Not a week after week hard hitting conference. Fleck needs to get cranking to show he belongs in the Big 10. Fleck has had some tough luck with injuries with his team this year and had to adjust. I'm rooting for Fleck as I believe he is a good guy. But he needs to start producing if he wants me to stay in his camp.
Not a Fleckster but Jerry Kill was not the long-term solution for the Gophers. I think he hit his ceiling at MN and likely wouldn't bring any P5 school any higher. He did a great job cleaning up a mess and making us respectable both athletically/academically. People salivating at what Kill has done at NMSU this year and slighting PJ seem to forget what PJ did at WMU. PJ has had more success at MN than Kill. Kill is right where he belongs. The big question, can PJ elevate the program more or will that be up to someone else?

Really?????I’m happy for Jerry Kill.
Shouldn’t you be preparing for the game Gerald instead of looking for validation at you old stomping grounds?He has completely overhauled a historically bad program, the New Mexico State Aggies and has turned them into an actually good program. Competing in a conference championship is all you can ask for as a fan. Heck, next year if you are a mid major and win your conference championship you can make the damn playoff.
And we should have kept Jerry Kill. Instead we are stuck with Fleck, the Speck of Dust! Mark my words, Jerry Kill is going to take NMSU to the CFP before we even come close. What a beautiful sport this is.
Is the B1G West better than CUSA?9-3 at a mid-major is okay. But it's not Big Ten material.
Fleck was 13-1. Took over a 1-11 dumpster fire.
What does Edgar Allen have to do with this subject?Poe’s Law![]()
He has a similarly sunny dispositionWhat does Edgar Allen have to do with this subject?
Apparently they were still able to use the practice facility.If I am New Mexico ... I probably think twice about inviting someone back to my place who peed on my floor.
Having said that, personally I'd probably take the high road let them practice.
Still, I get it.
I assumed that from Jerry's comment. He seemed to say they made it hard for them to use it, but they still did.Apparently they were still able to use the practice facility.
I mean their QB pissed on their logo last time they used the facility so it shouldn’t be a surprise they’d be reluctant to let them use it again.I assumed that from Jerry's comment. He seemed to say they made it hard for them to use it, but they still did.
Sounds like he had to go pull strings too to get around the NM AD.
Even in Minnesota Jerry had a pretty prickly relationship with ADs ...
Jerry's gotta Jerry...
I mean were they REALLY worried someone would piss on their field again? I really doubt it.I mean their QB pissed on their logo last time they used the facility so it shouldn’t be a surprise they’d be reluctant to let them use it again.
The classy thing to do would have been to understand your QB made a mistake. Probably petty by UNM but they have a right to be IMO.
That’s fair too. I think they both look bad here.I mean were they REALLY worried someone would piss on their field again? I really doubt it.
I suspect it was more of a rivalry thing. For an unrelated bowl game I think it is kinda dink-ish for an AD (if their AD really was the one who made the call) to make it difficult for a visiting team to use the field. AD's job is to be an adult at the very least.
Take your loss and do better next year and be a good sport in the meantime. A
