I really don't have a response to this yet, but I'm trying.

yeah many local fans are not feeling Elite about them.  But others are so it will come down to win baby win and everyone will be fine

Some are starting to think Fleck is promoting his agenda with little regards for the University's tradition

Would any other University allow a coach to dramatically change the brand of the school like this?

[Hawkinole]

Hayden Fry created the Tiger Hawk logo when he came to Iowa. He fashioned new uniforms to mimic the Steelers. Few people recall but the Iowa gold color changed permanently to more of a yellow. But contrary to what Fleck is doing, the the Tiger Hawk logo bore some relationship to the school's mascot, and the state nickname.

Boat oars will last one coaching era. Coaching eras at Minnesota generally are fleeting.

I found this website with cool concept helmets.

I like this one. Perhaps it was used once. The website seems confused over whether it was 1968 or 1986:

Lucky for PJ Fleck his most avid fan and strongest supporter is who he's married to. Heather Fleck goes on twitter and lashes back at Star Tribune reporter's negetivity:

its been a good off season.  PJ still has energy.  the QB situation is the biggest concern where we will be very young.  add depth at a good number of spots will help over all

Adding a QB that can read a defense and is totally bought into the system being run will also be a huge plus.

Minnesota will not be blown out in any game this next year and will hopefully surprise some teams.

 

[ELA]

I wouldn't say confidently any team won't ever get blown out.  You could always lay an egg.  PSU and UW were probably the only teams that never got blown out last year.

[Benthere2]

True never say never but I guess I am saying I don't see that likely happening.  but sure it can 

at OSU and at Wisconsin are clearly two games that could go very south for us.  injuries and everything between now and then play a part in it.

having 5 away big ten games is harsh with two of them stated above.  Nebraska it seems we do fairly well there. Maryland and Illinois 

[ELA]

Mo Ibrahim is returning

[FearlessF]

didn't expect that, but it's good news

[Benthere2]

picked up a once  top 150 player in Dylan Wright from T-AM in the portal

[Benthere2]

picked up another defensive player from the portal

only wish we look at the LB's more
