P.J. Fleck spoke of winning national championships at Minnesota during his opening news conference in January 2017, but even he knows you can’t go that big all the time.
Yet Fleck, a former standout Illinois high school basketball player, also understands you’ve got to shoot your shot. Even if it’s a big one; especially when it’s a big one.
Everybody knows Fleck has something brewing for his team in the moments before the take the field at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium. It will likely have all those grandiose trappings.
The ceiling is higher. Gophers senior receiver Tyler Johnson said the legend speech is “close to the top” but not the best one Fleck has given in his nearly three seasons at Minnesota.
“I feel like that message really can last a lifetime, and it just can go to anybody, just as simple as it sounds: ‘Don’t be afraid to be a legend,’ ” Johnson said. “Go out there and be remembered. Really, if you live with that mindset every day, positive things will follow.”
