Some folks are betting at selling themselves than others.
That might be the simplest way to put the fascination surrounding P.J. Fleck, the first-year Minnesota coach who makes as much noise with pregame speeches and catchphrases as his teams do on the field. Well, more, if you consider this year's team.
The Gophers are 5-6 in 2017 and likely need to knock off unbeaten Wisconsin to reach a bowl game. Last week, they were shut out by Northwestern, 39-0.
But Fleck has dubbed this "Year Zero" on many occasions, so temper your expectations. And Minnesota's athletic department has gone beyond that, opting to add a year to Fleck's existing contract.
