PJ Fleck was asked after the game how he's able shut out the haters and continue being himself despite the heat he takes publicly.
His message, per usual, is worth a listen no matter what you think of the Minnesota Gophers' head coach.
"We will never ever, ever, ever take winning for granted... I don't think there's any reason for anybody in this world, no matter who you are, to apologize for who you are. As long as you are being the best, most authentic, most real version of yourself every day, and you're changing your best, and you're doing good in the world. You do that, don't you ever change... Be yourself."

Minnesota's head coach just launched himself into a mob of his own players at full sprint. P.J. Fleck crowd-surfs after every win, today's was his 100th, and the mania took 15 years to build. It started with the worst thing that can happen to a person.
In February 2011, Fleck's infant son Colt died of a heart condition. Fleck was a 30-year-old receivers coach at the time. He came up with a phrase to get himself out of bed. Row the boat. Your back faces the future, you can't see what's coming, all you control is the oar.
Two years later Western Michigan made him the youngest head coach in the FBS. He went 1-11 his first season and people laughed at the boat stuff. By 2016 the same program went 13-0 and made the Cotton Bowl.
When Minnesota hired him away in 2017, there was a catch. Western Michigan had trademarked "Row the Boat." The school owned the legal rights to the phrase he created for his son. Fleck paid them $50,000 out of his own pocket, structured as a scholarship for a walk-on player, to take the words with him.
Nine years of rowing later, today happened. Minnesota beat #24 Michigan 20-14, took back the Little Brown Jug for the first time since 2014, and beat them at home for the first time in 49 years. 51,012 fans stormed the field.
So yes, the man flies into that pile looking slightly unhinged. He knows better than anyone in that locker room that you don't get to choose which days are the good ones. You just keep rowing until one shows up.

P.J. Fleck on having fun regardless of taking heat for it:
- That guy (Mark Coyle) back there allows me to be PJ Fleck. He allows me to be me.
- I get paid to win football games. I also get paid to bring notoriety and hopefully a really, really positive, energetic way to the University of Minnesota and everything that we're about.
- I get to be myself doing it. And I don't think you ever have to apologize for being yourself.
- Crowd surfing, I’ve been doing that 14 years. You know why? When you're 0 and 9, 0 and 10, you've never won a game as a head coach. When you win, that's where that started at UMass 14 years ago. So I said, from there on, we'll do that every time.
- Our locker room will be a celebration because we will never, ever, ever take winning for granted.
- No matter who you are, to apologize for who you are, as long as you're being the best, most authentic, most real version of yourself every day, and you're changing your best, and you're doing good in the world, you do that.
- Be yourself. We tell our kids all the time.
- I'm proud to be a Gopher. Thanks, everybody. The jug's back home. Row the boat, Ski-U-Mah, Go Gophers!

.@TommyVendl rushed for 150 yards and two touchdowns, and @SCNFBOFFICIAL deflected a go-ahead two-point conversion pass in the final minutes to hold on and beat @STCEFootball 28-27 to snap a three-game losing streak.

ESPN’s Joe Buck has agreed to a new contract with the network worth more than $100 million that will keep him as the voice of “Monday Night Football” into the next decade, per @AndrewMarchand.
The six-year extension is in the neighborhood of $108 million, sources said, and means that Buck will not only call ESPN’s first Super Bowl this February, but will also be on the mic for the network’s next one in 2031.

54% of adults now have literacy levels below those of a sixth grader.
51% of adults read 0 books a year. Only 16% read daily.
Reading has declined by 43% over the last 20 years. The decline cuts across age, gender, and race.
No wonder it seems like all the serious people have disappeared.

Boys Of Fall would not have been the same without my good friend @SeanPayton. This is Sean giving a pregame speech in Naperville, Illinois where he played High School football. This speech wasn’t scripted. He spoke from heart. Sean is a great football coach but he is a great communicator and motivator. This speech still gives me chills. Sean I am forever grateful. It’s football season everyone. KC
