forksandspoons Posted September 30 Posted September 30 UND plays the gophers in a couple years 😁 1 1 Quote
UNDBIZ Posted September 30 Posted September 30 Tough but can't really blame him for taking the B1G opportunity. Maintain the relationship and maybe we see him in a couple years any way. Quote

Best of luck to the young man, but absolutely no guarantees with pj fleck and that clown show. Will he play in the Big 10 or just take up a roster spot? Time will tell. Onward. Time for UND to find a new (and better) tight end. 4 Quote

This rings home more than ever. Keep recruiting the right kids and battling. Time to find a new and better tight end. Quote

siouxfan512 Posted September 30 Posted September 30 Can't blame the kid: Big10 Football Bigger stage More money to go around I would think Closer to home Ya never know how it will work out, but I certainly get it. Best of luck to him. Now, onward and upward! Quote

Best of luck to him. Now, onward and upward! I get both sides of it, but would you rather - Compete for National Titles in FCS or Play at MN and never sniff a meaningful Bowl Game? (I would rank 12 other Big 10 teams as a better option than MN for success) Play 3-4 years as a major contributor or burn years riding the pines, get some playing time as a Jr. and possibly start as a Senior? These are legitimate things to consider and personally I have children coming up that will need to navigate these scenarios, not all football related. Fleck has done a decent job although personally I would never let my son(s) play for him. He's too much about himself and I think this is widely known. The "Elite" crap they through at recruits is nauseating. MN will see Elite this year, Ohio St. and Oregon. 2 Quote

Maybe location plays a factor. MN is a lot closer for family than ND is. Also agree on Fleck. I'm not the biggest fan. Not that he has done horrible, but apart from 1 year, he hasn't done a lot either. Comes across as too much of a cheap car salesman, but to each their own. Quote

Interesting comment about 12 other Big 10 teams about Minnesota who? The clear ones are Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, and Michigan. Other than that there isn't much difference especially when you start looking at teams records over the last 3-4 years. My biggest complaint with Fleck is at times he gets much too conservative in game playing risk averse. Quote

Money might help with a bulletproof vest to manage Dinkytown though. Quote

There are certainly opportunities for more $, but it is not guaranteed. Minnesota is definitely not in the upper half of the Big 10. You sound like a goofer fan when not cheering for hockey. Fleck has definitely plateaued … above average salesman but very average football coach it appears. Wouldn’t trust his message ironically enough when it comes to being “Elite”… 1 Quote

I don't want Shamwow guy energy from my football coach. I have always said this and wouldn't have lasted much more than a month with a coach like him. I'm surprised that his schtick hasn't worn thin but I guess cycling players out every 4-5 years is an advantage. Quote
