The Pitt-Cory (or Psy-Mike) bowl is today. Penn State looks for revenge for last year's loss while Pitt is hoping to play spoiler. I am supposed to be in Hershey this afternoon but I will be checking in on the game when I get a chance.

Northwestern getting slapped around 31-10 going into the 4th Qtr.

Does Fitzgerald have this job until he doesn't want it?

Boomer Sooner might be for real.

I am going to enjoy every moment of PJ's success at Minnesota because its going to be hard as fuck to root for him when he is at Notre Dame in 3 years.

If only Illinois could have snagged him . . . they were just one year early.

Fun game to re-watch: Wazzou over Boise State. Wazzou has a good (though psychotic) coach....

The team he played yesterday was pretty bad though. I doubt he is that quick of a rising star.

I don't think his act plays well at traditional power school.

[4) He's also a guy who lies or bends the truth for no real reason. He claims WMU offered him "more money". Unless WMU offered him a Scientology-like billion year contract there is no way that is true..

There are a few problems with PJ Fleck.

1) He claims not to be an X's and O's guy. This is a huge red flag at a big time school. You have to hope he gets in high quality coordinators who will then leave. What's the point when you have your pick of a bunch of guys getting a "motivator" and "recruiter"?
2) Along those lines, he tries to win by simply out-talenting his opponents. The talent advantage he had at WMU was insane in conference because he recruited at a Big Ten level though part of that was by taking somewhat questionable recruits. This is going to be a smaller advantage at Minnesota and absolutely no advantage at a powerhouse school.
3) He's cocky to the point of abrasive. When things are good everyone is going to love him but if things falter even a little he becomes quite hateable by his own fanbase. I mean, the guy has an ESPN show called "Being PJ Fleck" in his first year at Minnesota.

Those, and a few other reasons, is why Purdue passed on interviewing him after they did their homework and also "didn't talk with him or his agent".

I predict he is another Lane Kiffin type where his hype far exceeds his results. I think he'll be fairly average at Minnesota, and his recruiting, while decent, is not up to what you would hope so far for a guy who is supposedly an elite recruiter.

Always a great college football day when urban meyer brian Kelly lose.

I agree Fleck might suck in the long run, but this manifesto is ridiculous.

You described pretty much 90% of D-1 college coaches. These are some extreme rationalizations here.
