P...... R..... 2018 The Authentic Turkeys (aka Turkey of the Year)
............................
..."TAT No. 1: P.J. Fleck. Heres the mystery: Strident defenders of Flecks sloganeering and sugarcoating are everywhere, and yet people are showing up for Gophers football games in the smallest numbers in the Tsars memory and that dates to being in the closed end zone of Memorial Stadium on Nov. 13, 1954 (Gophers 22, Iowa 20 in an upset).
The crowd was 65,464, and thats more actual customers than Fleck attracted total in the past three Big Ten games in TCF Bank Stadium. He might beat the flop of a Wisconsin team Saturday, and join the 70 percent of Power Five teams that make some form of a bowl game, but even that would leave Phil at 5-13 in Big Ten games at Minnesota and in a half-empty stadium thats the second smallest in the conference.
This is Year 1 in Fleck math, and its also Year 1 for The Authentic Turkeys, and the Top TAT turns out to be Philip John Fleck. The Tsar hopes that floats everyones boat."
My Comments: It is now time for the fans to get in their two cents. We are 1 of 10 undefeated teams among the Power 5 teams, we are on the cusp of having gameday in the Twin Cities, we have our best start in over 50 years, attendance is up at TCF Bank stadium, I see Maroon and Gold on more random people on the street, no major issues with behavior, and we're on top of the B1G West. Sounds like someone we should name a building or build a statue for. I like what I'm seeing and forgive me if I get offended when much of the news media tries to take all that away by minimizing our efforts. Time for the media to eat some crow.
My nomination for Turkey of the Year is the Twin Cities Media and especially the Chair of the Turkey Committee.
