Video of Fleck locker room surfing after game

Donate To GopherHole

Part of PJ’s schtick is the post win locker room surfing and sprinting to the other side of the field at the end of the quarter. Completely harmless.

Who's bothered? They should keep doing it if it makes them happy, but it's like a little kid banging on a pot with a spoon - it stops being cute after a while.

Pretty simple solution for those that don't like it or are bored with it. Don't go to the thread about it and click on the video and then complain about it.

I and I get the feeling quite a few others like that they post the celebration and still enjoy watching it.

Yes, there are quite a few simpletons out there.

Very true!! But we also have no clue what goes on in that locker room or how this started, unless I missed it which is very possible. This could be something the players started, it could have been tossed out as one in a possible numerous number of scenarios they picked from. I don't know. And while I agree it's different(even weird,lol) it's hard to judge it as a selfish act of the coach without knowing context.

They did it at Western Michigan as well

Appreciate the post and the sentiment.

Massive (for me, in my book) difference between KOC game balls and your experience vs. Fleck crowd surfing: yours and KOC's make it about the players, rather than about the coach !

Here is a wild idea...how about you ask the players what they think since it is all about them?

Nah you have to make it all about you...YOU dont like it so its bad. To hell with what they think...

I know...and 80 is the new 45 but at least wear some damn googles with all those hands pushing up. I dunno man...I'll stick with he's crazy. :)

The way I'm feeling these days, 72 is the new 90!

Seriously, I have no problem with the players tossing Fleck around. As Harrymanback77 said, it's about team building and who started or why it started is really immaterial. Fleck doesn't give out 29 game balls, but he is very supportive of his players publicly.

To be fair, it appears the players enjoy it more than anyone else including Fleck so as long as that's still the case, I see zero problem with it. If it ever gets to a point it feels like its forced, then it's time to stop.

We're not in the locker room so who knows, it's possible this has continued because the players want it.

Agreed, and at the end of the day this is what wins the point.

(Would any player actually admit it? Well anyway)

I'm a lot of fun at parties.

I don't have someone take a video of it to prove it and post it on the internet to document how affable I am, however, so you'll have to trust me on that.

I prefer to keep it real and between the people it matters to, that's just a personal preference.

That is such a cynical way to look at things. Too each their own I guess.

They post a 10 second clip of the team celebrating after a game on social media....there doesn't have to be some bigger meaning or motivation behind it....it can just be a cool video of the coach and players having fun after a win.

Agreed, with the words you said here in the way you've said them.

Hypothetical for you:

would it have still been just as fun of a celebration, just as cool, if Fleck simply went into the locker room clapping and yelling "Ski-U Mah!!" and it erupted in cheers from the players?

You don't think Fleck's specific act, in of itself, has anything to do with the attitudes of some towards the video?

The crowd surfing part is what makes the video fun because it is unique. So the hypothetical you proposed would not be nearly as interesting to see from a fan standpoint but still cool because it is fun to see the team enjoying themselves after a win. Celebrating in locker room, singing the rouser....

And to your last part, it is probably pretty safe to assume that the people bothered by or bored with this are also people who in general are not fans of Fleck and the way he does things.

Was talking specifically about the locker room celebration......it is something fun the team does after a win, they clearly enjoy it.

Of things to get upset about or bothered by I really don't know why something like this bugs some people.

Same reason a thread about st Thomas basketball bothers people


Because they’re whiny people and it gives them an excuse to whine

There are definitely people that only really seem happy when they have something to complain about. Seems like that would be a horrible way to go through life but it is how some people are wired.

One man's cynical is another man's evidence based behavior.
