I think that you may have just hit on the source of the problem: Thom never had a paddle, so he couldn't get in the boat.Yes Thom, you have made your Fleck Feelings clear. You will never be in any boat he rows...
@Huskerthom, fwiw, I don't like his personality either, and if the rumors are true about him banging boosters at Western Michigan, he's a despicable human being ... but so was Barry Switzer. So was Jimmy Johnson. Sometimes despicable human beings end up being very successful football coaches. I wish that weren't true, but it is. Fleck seems to be a winning coach, and just because you don't like him, from my perspective you're projecting on to the players your own feelings when there's no evidence yet that they're there. If he starts losing again, that's when all of the negatives come flying. It's not a coincidence that Switzer was the King of Norman, Oklahoma until they started playing poorly on the field AND there were more incidents off of it. That's the trashy side of big-time college football.
