  1. More big time wins in the B1G than Harbaugh now.....
  2. Between the 2-point try and going for it on 4th down near the goal line when they could have kicked a field goal. It adds up to four easy points they could have had. Now they are down by twelve when they could have been down by eight.
  3. The play to stop the 2-point try was a big time tackle after fighting through a block. the kind of small play makes the other side take more risks on offense on their next possessions. I can't remember the math but the stopping of the 2 point try leads to some bad playcalling by the PSU offensive coordinator.
  4. Just a great play on the fourth down. Total big time defensive back play to bat that ball away from the receiver.
  5. Fleck is playing control the clock with 27:41 in possession at the start of the fourth quarter. Penn State only has 17:19 and the Gopher defense is just resting and getting ready for PSU to need passing plays and long routes later in the game.
  6. Its like they've been hitting those same routes for big games throughout the day. Did Penn State even scout the team they were playing this week?
  7. I know there is a game thread but if his whole motivational mantra can lead to him getting better talent and playmakers than the other B1G West teams, there is no reason he can't be successful at Minnesota.
  8. Just take a picture of the big lake near Austin and send it to him on twitter.
  9. Does anyone have a status update on DJ ILL MIXX? The guy playing at the practices back when Fleck was at WMU? Did he follow the rest of the staff to Minnesota?
  10. Okay, its week 11 in College Football and Minnesota finally has a game where it can show some people some things and we can finally find out if they are really good or not. This is the battle for the Governor's Victory Bell, a battle of unbeaten teams ranked 5th and 13th in the country, for one of the most cherished prizes in all of College Football. Anyway, the game kicks off at 11 AM central on ABC and the early line has Penn State favored by 6.5 Anyway, one a serious note. Minnesota can win the division by beating the winner of the Wisconsin-Iowa game, or even get lucky and win the division while losing two or three of their final four. Its kinda like Fleck is playing with house money at this point in a successful season. He might even be hearing about how great the crew facilities are in Tallahassee or somewhere else.
  11. I think Urban left the FOX studio to talk to the USC team in the locker room after the game.
  12. So the third quarter kicked off and Clay Helton is still the Head Coach at USC? What gives? I thought they had standards?
  13. The half time coverage on Fox will just be Urban talking about the adjustments he will make at halftime to get the offense going for the Trojans.
  14. I was watching the FOX pregame show before the Nebraska Purdue game earlier, and their coverage between the end of the Washington Utah game and the beginning of this one. The whole time all Urban Meyer could talk about was how much talent there was in Southern California and how great the school was and how much they valued football. Even Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart were nodding their heads along while he was talking about how great Los Angeles is.
  15. The video reminds me that Coach Novak was/is PJ Fleck's biggest influence on his coaching. The young Fleck was a team leader on those crazy high ranked NIU teams and he would be chosen to talk to the media before or after the games like after their win over Alabama. Its crazy to think that they went 10-2 and didn't get into a bowl game after losing their division to Bowling Green, and only four games were televised on something other than pay per view.
  16. Do you guys remember when Brewster let out some insult about a guy named "Fat Pat" on social media? Was anyone in Minnesota buying what Brewster was selling back when he was the coach there?
  17. There have been recent seasons where Wisconsin or Iowa have started with a big winning streak against similar schedules. They usually end with a good bowl game. The B1G West is wide open with Wisconsin getting its second loss.
  18. Okay, I watched a little more of the College Gameday episode from 2003 when Fleck was a wide receiver and Northern Illinois was the highest ranked MAC team in a long time, and took some notes: Jeff Smoker and Michigan State are the most complete team in the B1G. Penn State fans want Joe Pa fired near the end of a losing season. Jason White leads Larry Fitzgerald and Eli Manning in the Heisman chase.
  19. Fleck is begging ESPN to bring Gameday to Minnesota, but they went to Kalamazoo a couple years ago to follow what he was doing and it sounds crazy in retrospect that he got them to visit Western Michigan. He was KSTPSports ✔ @KSTPSports This was the Gameday episode from 2003 when fleck was playing for Northern Illinois against Bowling Green, just a year after Urban left for Utah, starts around five minutes into the video
  20. Best start since 1942, when the team played eight games and won all eight, they hadn't been 7-0 since 1960 which was their last real good season.
  21. Two straight weeks for the cancer survivor placeholder
  22. Okay, another weekend and nothing else to watch except the Minnesota game, up by 35 in the second half against Maryland
  23. I don't get it? Why would they do that?
